Expect the finish to come off as you open the box and put it together if shipping did not get to it already.  The individual pieces are not so quality but as a whole the stand does what it needs.  The stand from farther away looks nice just like the picture, but from this experience I regret to say that I would have paid a little to get another stand that looks good and would hold up well.  Personally, I would not expect this piece to live through a move nor would I expect the finish to last with the slightest wear.
