Exactly as pictured. I love that the bottom shelf is large enough to fit my printer! Some of the pieces didnt fit completely snug against one another, but it still feels really sturdy even with my TVetc on it. I (20s, female, avg strength) was able to put the unit together by myself, but grab a friend to help out if you can. This stand is heavy and awkward to manuever during some steps of assembly when the pieces arent all fully secured.
