I really love this TV stand.  The color and size is just perfect for the room.  It is a little time consuming to put together.  The instructions suggest that you do not use a power drill because it might split the wood.  Everything had to be screwed in by hand which takes a long time and can get tiresome after a while.  But I will say that it was worth it because we have a very sturdy and beautiful stand.  It is really a top notch TV stand.
