First, I was a bit upset of the fact that the item was an assembly items. I was not prepared to put anything together (I'm just lazy like that). The direction for the item was mislabel at a few of the steps so it took my boyfriend and I a while to complete the assembly process (this was annoying). Once the stand was put together I thought to myself (this is super size, aaagghh) but once we put it in it's place it actually look quite good. The TV stand really brought my living room decor together beautifully. Wish I had a photo to share but I'm at work #sorry
