I love this TV stand so much! I was afraid it would be hard to put together, but although it was time consuming, the directions were very clear. I felt proud of myself for putting it together as a woman in her 20s! The gold accents aren’t too goldbright, which I think is perfect against the black. This stand definitely looks way more expensive than it is. Win-win in my book! I get a ton of compliments. I highly recommend.
