This stand is awesome! It ended up being a little shorter than anticipated but that was only because I ended up buying a little bit bigger of a TV than planned. I got the one without the fireplace and I love it. It's the perfect size for an apartment/small space but it still holds a ton of movies in the cabinets. I did have help putting it together but I could have done it on my own if I had felt like it. Very pleased with this purchase!
