a little difficult to assemble, but once assembled, it fits perfectly and matches the rest of the furniture in the living room-- wood + metal. It's definitely a two-person assembly job. The tv stand uses a lot of cam screws and bolts. The wood can be a bit delicate when inserting these into place and can cause splits/fractures in the wood easily. Some of the pieces came chipped, not sure if that was a shipping issue or design issue in that its easy to chip.
