I have been eyeing this table for months after I first found it on and finally I pulled the trigger.
Unfortunately, I have a mixed opinion of it. It looks nice once assembled. I loveee the faux distressed look to it, which makes it look likeee something Ive owned for years. Its a great size and can work as a hallway table for me, but Im currently using it under my wall-mounted TV for accessories (and to block my dog from freaking out and jumping at the TV when he sees another dog on there).
Assembly was pretty easy - the top and drawers all come pre-assembled. You simply have to screw the four legs in place and the bottom shelf. After tightening 12 screws, youre done.
Now the bad. For starters, its VERY heavy. It arrived in a box that felt likeee it!!! weighs a hefty 90-100 lbs or more. The UPS guy who left it on my porch was so worn out by delivering it that he literally left 2 other packages for neighbors SEVERAL DOORS DOWN on my porch as punishment for me ordering it. Prime delivery at its finest!
But the problem with this heavy box is that the carrier doesnt care what it bangs against. The corners were smashed in, there were holes in the box here and there, etc. When assembled, I noticed the FRONT corner of the table was crushed in. Because of the distressed look of the piece, you dont see it unless youre looking for it. But Im disappointed by this fact. Shipping it back isnt going to happen - its too heavy. So youd better hope and pray that you get one that isnt damaged (perhaps hope that uses a different carrier other than UPS in your area). Look at the other reviews, many people have complained of it arriving with damage. Its true. I have no doubt its more likeeely than not to arrive with damage.
Lastly, its a Chinese piece. The instructions make this pretty clear. Furniture sounds so American! Nope. Not this piece. It may be heavy, and it may last a while, but clearly not solid wood (I can tell where the corner is smashed in). The majority of the product is compressed fiberboard with a faux wood facade on it - a beautiful Chinese construction.
Do I likeee how the piece looks? Absolutely! I loveee the style. However, I dont likeee how its boxed, the likeeelihood of damage, and the Chinese fiberboard construction. If I had to do it all over again, Id rather have gone to my local furniture store for a similar sofa table that is solid wood and paid a little more $money$ - and it wouldnt be much more, as this piece is already a little pricey for what youre getting.
I recived my table in this big box right on time and it was very easy to assemble within 20 min, looks great, just what I expected, loveee it!!!, and it fits perfect in my space...thanks so much. Mark
Several areas were damaged. Not worth the return process when it comes to furniture. However I loveee the piece, just wish it came without the shipping flaws. Therefore 4 stars.
Great piece, looks exactly as pictured and the quality is great for the price. Its quite large and heavy which makes it sturdy. Very happy with this purchase.
Shipping: first one arrived in 2 days with prime but was damaged. sent e replacement which took much longer to arrive. Second one was not damaged.
Easy to assemble. Overall would definitely order again!
This is a very good table for the price I paid. The only disappointment is this does not match my other Galveston pieces. I imagine with some oil soap it will look the same, but it is more matte.
Absolutely a great looking console. I spent a lot of time researching other products and kept coming back to this. Only reason I didnt buy it at first glance is because I wanted something other than black but Im happy with my purchase. And the product is so easy to assemble. So easy that I didnt even use the instructions manual. I greatly recommend this product. I wish they will make it in another color though.

I am very pleased that I did
I already had the coffee table so I waited to get this one to match. I am very pleased that I did. It isnt solid wood but it is good quality.
Surprisingly easy to put together
Fabulous hallway table. Surprisingly easy to put together. Great weight, looks great. Good value.

Looks good from afar, but afar from good quality!
