I will say this TV stand is SUPER sturdy and heavy as the other reviews all seem to indicate.  It's a perfect piece for our living room and I was thrilled with the price.  I'm only giving it 3 stars because the assembly of it was not smooth and easy.  It was a pain!  And once we (my husband and I) finished assembling it, we flipped it over and the top was really scratched up! I was so upset!  It was just laying on a flat, clean floor while we put it together.  Maybe we should have laid a blanket down first, but I still don't think it should be so easily scratched.  We'll be getting some of those wood-colored pencils to try and disguise the scratches :(
