I purchased this console table for the living room. I have a television that will be mounted on the wall and wanted to fill the empty wall space below it, without it sticking too far out from the wall. I didn't want to spend a lot of money and this fit the bill. It is perfect for putting the cable and blue ray components on the shelf below the glass, drawers for the remotes when not being used and a frosted glass top to place my tchachkies for pops of color. I also purchased one of the matching end tables. The paint/stain on the end table appeared a little blotchy but once it was put together and with a nice buffing with furniture polish it was not that noticeable. Both pieces are very sturdy! I could have purchased something from the furniture store but at double the cost for the console alone. The cost of both the console and end table you would never know it arrived in a box requiring assembly, which was a breeze. The hardware came in separate little zip bags and each bag was labeled with a letter, so no guessing if you have the correct screw or bolt. It comes with its own hex wrench and the only other tool needed is a screw driver. The color when placed next to black does not appear black but a slightly deeper color than espresso. The color blended well as I have both colors in my living room and the frosted glass works with my white leather sofa and loveseat. I think this would work well in a bedroom as well.
