I used this sideboard as a TV console and it looks amazing. I love the rounded edges with display space, and the glass doors that camouflage the cable box. Some reviews said it came with scratches, but there weren't any on mine. Assembly was time consuming but I did it in stages. Since assembly was done with the piece upside down, I needed help flipping it right side up, which is good, because I like that it's heavy, and not flimsy. It was just the right height for me, and it's not as deep as my old console, so it takes up less space. It has a good looking veneer, which is one of the things that makes it look more expensive than it is.
