I purchased this for my mother's new TV. It's beautiful and perfect for all of her needs. It was not hard to put together. But then again I'm the go to handy person when it comes to putting stuff together. She loves the compartments for storage. She always gets compliments for it when she has guests over. The wood is solid and a totally beautiful color. The stand looks much more expensive than it actually cost. Glad I was able to make her happy!
