I like the stand very much.  It looks good and the quality is better than you would expect at this price point.  It did have a small scratch, but nothing to fret about.  I would suggest reading the assembly instructions a few times before starting and checking the pieces and hardware.  It goes pretty smoothly.  My two side panels were mis-numbered, so I suggest carefully checking which side goes out and which to the front (with the finish) so as to not incorrectly assemble and then find the mistake.  Luckily I did that and found the error.  Assembly can take some time, and it helps to have someone help with the heavy parts but it can be done by just one person.
