Love this stand so far. The assembly seems daunting after you open all the pieces and see the hardware. Biggest tip is to grab a drill and make use of it the whole way through - then it's a breeze. Instructions are laid out very clearly. Once assembled, the TV looks as pictured. It feels stout and from an aesthetic perspective, not much too not like. For the price and size and storage options, I have no complaints at all. Would recommend.
