I think we like it.  We just put it together last night.  It was a lot of work.  My husband is quite the handy man and it took him 2 hours.  I like the finish and the stand looks real nice.  I knew it wasn't real wood so we weren't expecting that quality.  I thought it was strange that it's a TV stand but there aren't any holes drilled in the back for the VCR wires.
