Promising review: "I love this table, it's a lovely color and it feels really solid. I enjoyed putting it together, it wasn't difficult. It's a good weight so it doesn't feel like it'll topple over with a small bump. I do wish it was a little longer but it does the job and can definitely work as a console table or a small desk. The finish does feel/look a bit plastic-y and it has dark-ish lines all over it (as you can see in Target's pictures) to give it a distressed look but I'm fine with it, it looks great. It looks exactly like in the photos." —TStew808
