It sits very low to the ground.  I have 10 foot ceilings so that may have a lot to do with it. Very contemporary look.  It took a while to assemble and the box it came in was extremely heavy. Very sturdy and it will hold max size 42 inch tv.  It had a few scratches but it comes with a marker to cover the scratches. The marker works great.  All in all I'm pleased with the purchase and it works in my living room.
