It's beautiful.. a little darker than I wanted, but that's ok. However... it was a bear to put together and it's not very steady even though it's screwed tightly. On the bottom the screw holes should be counter-sunk because with the screw heads on the surface, the stand is rocky and I'm concerned about the screw heads scratching the wood floor. I ended up putting some felt pads over them and had to add doubled-up felt pads at the other end as well, to balance it out. Otherwise it was *very* wobbly! Might not be a problem on a carpet.
I've had less expensive stands that were better built.
Debated about returning it, but I'll keep it because it is attractive and looks good with our lighter colored sectional and floor.
