Beautiful unit !! I looked at a lot of this style TV stand and finally selected this one for a couple design points. I’m very happy with my selection. It took me a couple hours to assemble, but all parts and hardware were well labeled. The instructions were adequate, not great, but not confusing. I have to add that I’ve never received anything, ever, so well packaged as this stand!! Everything was very well protected! I have two leftover dowels, so I may have missed a couple somewhere, but their job is mostly to align the pieces for the little clampy things that hold it all together. I could have used a rubber mallet for the end panels, but I managed fine without one. As many people mentioned, it is rather shallow and I’ll have to make a couple modifications to the back panels so my electronics will all fit. Specifically my VCR. But seriously, who still uses one of those! Highly recommend!
