Rustic Wood Media Console

Rustic Wood Media Console
This unique console is perfect for your media collection in a beautiful rustic and distressed wood. Notice the "tramp art" carved style that is used on the sides of the cabinet and the front of the cabinet doors. The wood console is heavily distressed and finished in a medium wood stain with rubbed areas. Then it is blackened in all the right places for an even more aged appearance. Size: 45" long x 20" deep x 29" height.
