I absolutely LOVE this TV stand. It is the perfect size for my living room, put in between two tall bookshelves on either side. It is red, but a really deep, subtle red that looks great with the earth tones in my living room.  I can't speak to the ease of putting it together, as I hired someone to do it, but he put it together pretty quickly.  There weren't any flaws in the materials and it was packaged really well.  The Styrofoam came apart in tiny pieces all over my floor, but there weren't any issues with the materials. I would order again in a heart beat, and the Wayfair staff were excellent to work with, answering my questions, etc. It also shipped really quickly.
