Aesthetically pleasing and elegant, and while I certainly want to love it, there are definite issues for a TV stand at this price range. The pieces came with minor chips and deformities, which isn't too visible so it's not the biggest deal. However, there is a fairly heavy paint or coating smell that comes from the inside of the stand, and it still hasn't gone away fully after several weeks. And when I clean the inside, there is a ton of residue that comes off, and a bluish tint consistently remains. Not sure if this is just with my stand, but I expected better quality.
