Based on the reviews I had read, I was prepared for the quality of this product to be quite low. I bought it anyways because I liked the look. I was pleased to find that the quality is not too bad, better than I expected for the price. Yes, a few of the pieces arrived with dings already in them, but I suppose I got lucky that the dings were in places that were hidden. 

Beware that the shelf that sits on top is half the width of the unit, so my 50" television does not fit on it. As others have pointed out, the shelf just sits on top of without being attached anyways, so I just l left the shelve off. 

This product includes two bonus floating shelves. I'm currently living in a rental unit, so I'm not going to use them, but it's nice to have the option to put them up.
