We love it. It’s not wood but looks like it. Assembly was easy and luckily they give you an “extra parts bag” cause we were short a screw. Very well made, highly recommend.Love the shelf color we picked the grey. It is a soft driftwood color. It went together very easy. The company gives you one extra set of all fasteners. A real bonus.I read a lot of the reviews before deciding to purchase the console table. Many people said they struggled putting it together, and a few said they had no problem at all. I'm adding to the "no problem" count. Directions say 2 people are required, but I'm pretty sure that's for safety reasons because they also say to assemble it on its side. Which - at least for me - took away the need for a 2nd person. Where I needed help was getting the box into the room I was putting it in before opening it up. But had I not had someone to help me, I would have just opened it and carried each piece individually. The assembly process went fine; no troubles at all. After assembling the frame you then attach the middle and bottom shelves while it's all still on its side. So at that point I laid the top board on the floor bottom up and flipped the rest upside down so I could put the bolts into the top board easier. Then tightened all the bolts everywhere before turning it right side up. It is VERY sturdy, and held up to turning it over without any wiggling. The shelves are a lot thicker than you normally find on this type of furniture, so I'm confident it will stand the test of time and use. The X pattern braces lend to how sturdy the frame is, also. It's a great addition to my space. And...once again...very easy to assemble. Just be sure to put the bolts in loosely until you have them all in place and you'll be fine. You will not regret purchasing this table.I’m a pastor and actually use my bookshelves for book storage. These are plenty sturdy enough!It is a good piece at a reasonable price. It was challenging putting together. The holes did not line up well with the screws without a lot of pushing on the frame. One shelf was slightly damaged. We flipped the shelf when installing ut and had it face the wall. For what we need, it works. We are using it for an entry way table.Very sturdy and good looking. Just rightI love these shelves. It's sturdy, easy to put together, looks nice and hold a variety of different things.Order came in timely. Do suggest two people setup. Directions and all tools included in package. Sturdy and worth the money.
