The whole thing is made of particle board so it's not as sturdy as something you'd pay twice or three times as much for, but it looks really nice once assembled. There is one leg int he center to support the weight and the particular TV I have stands on its ends instead of in the center so I feel comfortable using this TV stand with it for years. 

I deducted rating in my review since my TV Stand came with two nicks in the paint on the sliding glass doors and I had to go out to get a paint pen to cover those up.
