The TV stand is beautiful and it is as described in the description.  The main issue is as everyone has described.  The instructions are absolutely the worst. My husband is excellent on reading instructions on previous items we have had to assemble but these won the award for complete nonsense.  You must read the instructions.  If you have trouble readying instructions and putting together furniture then this is NOT for you. And yes it will take between 2-3 hours.
I would of given it a 5 star except for the instructions and started to give it a 3 star but I do like the TV stand.
