This TV stand arrived in perfect condition and just two days after ordering.  Packing was phenomenal with all pieces protected.  It accommodates our 55-inch HD TV perfectly.  We needed a low stand because we had to place the TV under a high window in our family room.  Because the stand is so long, two persons are needed to initially put it together, but once the basic pieces were together, the rest was very easy.  The cherry finish we ordered is just beautiful and we couldn't be more satisfied.  All wires are completely hidden from view.  We would definitely recommend to anyone.
