WOW. Better than expected! This was very, very easy to assemble-- I would estimate between 10-15 minutes tops. The wood is great quality and the piece as a whole is very sturdy. We do intend on using this as a console table, but our TV stand has yet to arrive. The photo shows a 55" TV that fits perfectly should you be considering it as an entertainment unit. Definitely recommend this, the design is so unique!
