It took is half a day to put the stand together. It was easy to put together just a lot of pieces. It is absolutely beautiful piece of furniture as you can see by the picture. Well worth the money.I would buy another one if I needed it.The hanging doors make it look rustic.It is a very sturdy piece of furniture. If ok have children it can be tied to the wall which is another plus.It has a lot of storage space and my 60 inch television fits perfectly on it.It is very heavy. As you see by the pictures the doors slide all the way over or you can cover the middle. Very versatile piece of furniture.
