I waited months for this piece on backorder and as for how it looks and the overall quality of the piece, I am very satisfied.  It was not difficult to put together and I'm an "elder" so was happy about that.  Unfortunately, until I had it half together, I did not notice it had some small damage which was not immediately noticeable.  My advice, check much more carefully when you remove the pieces from the packaging.  The packaging was damaged, but it appeared the pieces were all OK.  Wouldn't you know - the damage (when assembled) is in the front, but at the bottom,  so less noticeable than if it had been at the top edge of the TV stand.
