What you pay is what you get. This is not a TV Stand that is a bang for your buck. The quality is worst than IKEA furniture and I love my IKEA furniture. When assembling this, you need to make sure you do not screw tight or else it will poke through the top. Some of it broke when assembling it but it does the job of holding my 42" TV so if you are looking for something inexpensive that you don't care to throw it, this will be it.
