I am using this as a coffee table.  It looks great in my space and I appreciate the storage.  I took a star off because it arrived with chipped spot on the top of it. Based on the material and the fact that I am using it as a coffee table it will likely sustain additional knicks and damage...but it was inexpensive so I'll live with it for now.  The durability would likely be fine for a tv stand but it is rather short.
