This TV stand is solid! The delivery guy just left it on the ground outside of my front door and the box looked really beat up, so I was already expecting to see some damages to the boards at that point. To my surprise the pieces were sandwiched between lots of styrofoam and plywoodhardboard around the edges so there wasn’t even a ding. Assembly took a little while but the instructions were very clear. We are quite impressed by the quality of this piece and wouldn’t hesitate to buy it again.
