This TV stand is really nice and heavy (sturdy) feeling. I put this together myself and it took about three hours, but everything was there (all the hardware & pieces) plus the directions were great step by step with very detailed drawings so you can tell exactly which direction each piece should face while assembling. Also, everything lined up perfect and fit together perfect. I didn’t swear or get frustrated once!!  The end result is really nice looking. It looks like solid wood, even though it’s not. You do have to be careful not to scratch it because the top layer will scratch off pretty easily it seems. Plus, it was packaged really well and protected. I’m very happy with it.
