I ordered this table as a console for my TV. It arrived timely. I ordered the espresso finish, and while it's solid wood, something about the stain / sealant makes it look kind of cheap. It looks like fake wood even though it's real. I might restain it in the future. It took a bit of difficulty to assemble it, and we actually didn't screw the bottom shelf in because the screws weren't long enough. That doesn't affect the stability of it, as that shelf rests on top of some brackets. I really needed a table fast, and I wanted something that was modern looking with both wood and metal and this fit the bill. It's good quality for the price, but if I'd had more time and money to work with, I probably would have gone with something nicer.
