I did a lot of research to find the best option for a tv stand with a fireplace for our smallish living room.  We have built almost every piece of furniture we own and this was by far the easiest thing we have ever built. The directions are very easy to follow and it took about 45 min for two people to put this together. It looks wonderful with our 50 inch tv. It is worth noting that the cabinet space on either side of the fireplace is relatively small. It fit the PS4 and XboxOne but it wasn't wide enough to fit our receiver.  I still love it and it adds a nice classy touch to our living space.
