We opted to purchase this stand—even after reading the reviews about the difficulty in putting the item together.  Do not purchase this TV stand. The directions and video were not at all clear, helpful or accurate. There are no predrilled holes, so you’re taking a shot in the dark of where to drill. The hinges are very cheap and won’t stand up to any use.  What a frustrating process. My husband was a minute away from just putting it out on the curb.
