I really like the set up and the appearance of the tv stand. I really wish I would have measured better - it's way smaller than I was thinking and I needed something much bigger. It does look like real wood and has an expensive taste look to it. We kept it as a placeholder for now, it's sitting under a 55" tv for reference (havent styled the room yet) - its definitely worth the price and is great for an industrial styled room or man cave. Took FOREVER to put together, tons of pieces and VERY labor intensive.
