We placed this in the living room, which is carpeted. It is quite wobbly from front to back, and back to front. The way the bottom is designed, that makes sense, but you can't really tell from the pictures. There are a couple of other reviews that also reflect this. It is also smaller in depth than it appears, make sure your stand is not too deep for this.
With all that being said, it is a really nice looking piece. It does take a few hours to construct, but the directions were pretty good (pay close attention to which side things go on). It was way too wobbly for our new 75 inch TV, but my wife decided to keep it as a credenza, and she loves it.
