I was looking for a record player stand for quite some time and the look of the Garnder stand was perfect for me. Once put together, the stand looks very nice and has lots of room inside for storage. I must say, however that I think it is priced too high and isn't worth it. Also, be very careful during assembly because the wood marks incredibly easy. The wood is quite soft and I have several marks and dings on my stand just from the assembly process, despite being very careful. I was really surprise by how delicate it is.
