I am very happy with this tv stand.  It was very easy to put together, and I was able to opt out of not adding the "skirt"/bottom portion because I had wanted something about 3" shorter than I was able to find.  The finished stand still looks great without the bottom portion, and is 3" shorter, which makes me happy.  The only complaint I have is that the parts did not fit together perfectly (not unusual for pre-tooled parts), and the top has a barely discernible hairline crack.
