I took my time putting the stand together so the number of parts weren't a problem for me.  The size is exactly as expected.  I was attracted to the stand having "feet" so cleaning under it will be easy.  

Pros: It was a great value and looks wonderful.
Cons: We had trouble with two of the wood screws for the top of the stand.  They wouldn't scew in tight to the top of the stand.  Just spin yet one worked well and is secure.  The top isn't going anywhere so it's fine.
