My wife and I just finished our version of the Rustic X Console. We had never built a piece of furniture before and after buying the tools could have probably purchased one for the same price, but it was worth it. We added the barn door hardware and made a door to mimic the X design of the ends. Also added back pieces to hide the Wires. Now on to the coffee tabes to match. Fun project. The finish is grey and walnut stain wiped on together and a gray wash over that.

Walnut and grey stain painted like a 3 year old then wiped off with a grey wash of paint diluted with water also wiped off until we liked the results.
