I think it should have come assembled

A lot of things could have been better if the item was assembled

This console table is nicer in person than in the picture! My only complaint is that it was somewhat challenging for my husband and I to assemble, especially the drawers. Definitely need two people to assemble.

It is a beautiful piece of furniture and seems to be pretty solid. We originally ordered the same piece from Wayfair but it came badly damaged with dents and marks on the front. We decided to order it again through Perigold, only later to learn it is Wayfair. This piece also had damage, this time on the back. Not wanting to re-box another piece and lug it to FedEx, we measured and decided the damage would be mostly covered by the couch. Overall the piece is beautiful but better packing and handling is needed.

Beautiful table - looks much more expensive than it is...def worth the money. I thought pretty easy to assemble by myself - took about 30 mins. With 2 people, you could assemble in about 15 mins. The shade of blue is really gorgeous.
