It came with the 'laminate' slightly peeled on one corner. Too much of a hassle to return it. Thought i could just glue it in place, unfortunately my daughter go to it before I could even glue it in place. Didn't realized it is even thinner than regular paper --i meant the laminate! Not sure whether this tv stand would last long. But the size was perfect for our receiver which was the biggest consideration when we were choosing what to buy. And other than 'peel', it looks really good!
