Package arrived in great shape with no damage. Directions were easy to follow and was assembled in less than than an hour. This table is sturdy, good looking and and great value for the price.
I was super stoked about this, it had everything I was looking for. And then it arrives damaged. Now I have to return this heavy box and find another piece I like.
Purchased this console table with the 2 matching end tables, all espresso colored. I returned the first console table as the color did not match. Received the new one today. Again, espresso for the console table is much darker and doesnt not look anything like the end tables...terrible.
Love the look. Fits the space in my living room perfectly. Assembly took time so patience is required (instructions are good).
Looking at the assembled product, I think it would look better if the back (down to the bottom shelf) had three X-braces similar to those on the ends. You could still see through it, but that would better conceal lamp cords, etc hanging down. Could make this an option possibly?
There are a lot of reviews here saying this table is difficult to assemble. I didn't find that to be the case at all. If you have assembled any furniture in the past this should not be difficult for you to do. The box was heavy and awkward for a short person like me to maneuver up the stairs but it was doable. The pieces are packed extremely well. Take care in unpackaging so that nothing will scratch. I lined up the pieces on a table and put all the small parts into muffin tins so they wouldn't roll around. Follow the instructions and you'll be fine. The instructions are not as clear when you get to the drawer assembly and the hardware should be much more clearly marked right or left drawer. There is some indication on the diagram which is which. Pay careful attention to where the holes are on the side panels, and the holes along the sliders (and pattern on the end of the sliders), and you should be ok. I managed to assemble both drawers correctly on the first attempt. A small miracle. I did use a power drill/driver on dead low speed because my 60 lady hands just couldn't use a manual screwdriver for all those parts. Go slooooooow and do not even think of over-tightening anything. The drawer knobs were surprisingly difficult to screw on but I took the brushed nickel ones from the table I was replacing and used them instead. They look way better than the ones that were included. Those are inexpensive and look it. Do yourself a favor: go to a home store and upgrade the knobs for a few more bucks. You won't regret it. They look so much better than the ones included. I also put felt pads onto the bottoms of the legs so that they would not scratch the hardwood floor. My one and only real complaint is the color. I ordered espresso, the box was marked espresso, but espresso it is not. The table is definitely black. Idk what color the one is that they advertise as black but this one is too. I would way prefer the espresso but I am keeping the table despite the color because where I am using it it is ok. Once assembled the table is sturdy, solid, and very attractive. The drawers glide smoothly (do not pull too far forward, the stops actually don't do their jobs all that great). Other reviewers have mentioned a formaldehyde odor. There is a very, very faint smell that I don't think I would have noticed unless I was trying to find it (and then, only when I open a drawer). I wouldn't hesitate to buy this again. Nothing cheap looking about it at all. There is no way that anybody would know you had put this together yourself. One star taken off because of the inaccurate description of the color.
I've assembled a lot of things like this over the years. This one was definitely one of the best fitting ones. All the holes lined up perfectly, nothing was out of place and it all went together very solidly. The directions were a bit hard to follow due to the pictures not being really clear, but if you take your time and look at things closely, it's not hard to figure out. It took about an hour to put together. I was watching TV while I did it, so I was a bit distracted. I would suggest laying out all the pieces beforehand and getting a good idea of how it all goes together before starting. That worked for me. The table, once assembled, is very solid and the drawers move in and out very smoothly. We're very happy with the purchase.

Good looking and great value
Package arrived in great shape with no damage. Directions were easy to follow and was assembled in less than than an hour. This table is sturdy, good looking and and great value for the price.
Why not finish the look with small, inexpensive detail?
This was almost perfect, if it included covers for the silver screws. Its so distracting and cheapens the look.
Sent broken piece.
I was super stoked about this, it had everything I was looking for. And then it arrives damaged. Now I have to return this heavy box and find another piece I like.
Just what I expected
Great piece for our deck
Great looks
Very sturdy. A great value for the money
was amazing with the replacement when a piece cracked while being put together
Perfect table for my entrance hall.
DO NOT BUY - Colors do not match between sets
Purchased this console table with the 2 matching end tables, all espresso colored. I returned the first console table as the color did not match. Received the new one today. Again, espresso for the console table is much darker and doesnt not look anything like the end tables...terrible.
Clean look, love the color!

Attractive, sturdy, easy to assemble. But the color......
