I am SO HAPPY with this purchase! For starters, this TV stand was nearly effortless to assemble. The hardest part was getting it out of the box LOL! The packagaging was done with precision. Well done, Wayfair! The wood is solid and unique, as each stand will have minor differences due to the use of reclaimed wood. I will forewarn that the wood, while stained, is not finished with anything to make it smooth. I would not rule out the possibility of a splinter while assembling. I didn’t get any, though.  Once set up, the stand instantly changed the whole feel of the room. It makes the space feel warmer, cozier, and rustic while rockin a bit of a mid-century modern look. I have absolutely no regrets about purchasing this stand. I highly recommend this product!!
