The TV stand is a great product but it lacks a little bit of quality control.The parts that you don't see are not shinny.  Mine had a few scratches but nothing that you could see up-close. I also had the upper part chipped in a corner but fortunately it was in the back..This is a great product if you can accept small quality issues. The most bizarre part was that the base plate shinny paint ends when the curve is made, you can clearly see where they stop the paint....If you are used with IKEA product this is similar wished quality would be a little better.

Pros: Modern Style
Cons: Poor quality control
