This was exactly what I needed. It holds all the kids snacks and cereals! The comfort level exceeded expectations.
I am very pleased with how this piece looks. Also, I am very pleased with the quality of the wood. It's heavy enough to have a substantial feel that cheap furniture lacks. I like the functionality with one criticism. The good parts are the hinged lid has a nice action and means my turntable is protected when not in use... and when in use. The area underneath has good smart and useful dividers. And the left side has moveable shelves which can accommodate accessories... or I might even turn it into a liquor cabinet. My criticism is this: The space for the turntable is tight. Mine fit, but you can see in the photos that my power and RCA cords are squeezed very tight and barely fit. Also, if your turntable has a plastic cover that hinges open, you almost certainly wont be able to leave it on. So, I'd recommend you measure your turntable and make sure it will fit.
I also had one blemish on the console which is unfortunately right on the front of the hinged lid. Not a huge deal to me... I will fill it with some color and call it good.
Overall I would give it a 9/10, losing one point for the tight space for the turntable. I'm really pleased otherwise. The comfort level exceeded expectations. It fits perfectly in our space.
