Found it: Console Table with Storage

My eyes having been glazing looking for furniture online.
I'm the WORST at interior decorating and major decision making: a lethal combination!
It's almost overwhelming how much is out there.
Since I'm over being frustrated every time I look around my digs, I finally purchased a console table to go under a mirror in our family room. It's a much-needed home for my daughter's toys, which have been driving this mama up a wall as they're scattered all over the place! 

We finally got this -- from Amazon no less for about $500 -- and I'm absolutely thrilled with it!

It looks nearly identical to this from Pottery Barn, which is $200 more! Plus, it comes with those baskets you see in the pic... nice touch! It's also more of an espresso color, which matches our interior better. Yay! I was nervous about ordering furniture on Amazon, but I've been so thrilled. Here's the Pottery Barn option:



Biggest furniture tip:
know your measurements before looking!
There were so many pieces I totally adored but while the picture looked great, the specs were actually totally wrong once I checked. What the pic looked like and actual size? NOT A MATCH!
Waste of time.
And when it comes to purchasing, don't be afraid to negotiate. Ask nicely what specials a place has (new homeowner, perhaps?); if they'll waive the shipping; or something along those lines.
Often places will give if you ask!

PS: If you love this console table as much as we do, be prepared for a massive 150 lb. box outside your door. However it's a gorgeous piece without one scratch or dent. yay!

    I like yours better than Pottery Barn's.

    I do too Sandy!

    I have been scared to order large items and furniture from places like Amazon or Overstock but every time I have been pleased with the entire process and final product!

    It looks very nice! Although they have some very nice things, I have been afraid to order. Now that I hear what you have to say I may reconsider.

    It's so funny because before you said " looks nearly identical to this from Pottery Barn" I was going to say, it looks like something from Pottery Barn and for a lot less. I love it and never really thought to check Amazon for furniture. This looks so nice and has a ton of storage. Love!

    Love it! I think this was a great choice, and I love ordering furniture online, because you don't have to haul it home yourself or pay for delivery (usually)!
