I was hesitant to purchase this item, because it seemed to good to be true. after reading all the positive reviews i decided to take a chance and order it anyways, and we didn't luck out on this one. the piece is sharp looking, and could be used several different ways other than a tv stand, but the faux wood is clearly fake and doesn't seem to be that sturdy. we were concerned that it would be able to safely support our tv, so we didn't risk using it that way. we did use it for our coffee table on our patio which works great instead.pros: clean lines, pricecons: not sturdy, much smaller than anticipated
