Package arrived beat up and box ripped and re taped - but thank goodness wayfair protected it from shipping abuse. Very rich dark work colored planks. Lots of hardware - but everything you need is included. Instructions are clear and easy to follow. Includes a remote for the lighting which is very nice. I like the metal shelving- it makes a nice added touch - but also great for gaming that needs open air. We really like that it sits lower to the ground - since we wanted the tv to sit lower. Overall would recommend and would buy again.
