I like that the stand can be used in multiple ways - a server, a console, or a TV stand. It is well-made, mostly from solid wood, and has a lot of storage, most of which we'll use for books. there are also display shelves that can jazz up your decor. The only issue encountered was the front slap doesn't rest full flush with the top. We got the back and sides to line up perfectly, and the gap in front is covered by trim. It's still solid.
