This worked out perfect for what I wanted! I love having more room in my living room with the tv stand being off of the floor. I have quite a bit plugged in and set within the shelves so I do need to find a way to hide some of the ones beneath it but I knew that going into this. It wasn’t all that difficult to put together. It maybe took 20-30 minutes with two people. It would be manageable to put together with one person until you have to mount it to the wall. Also, I see some reviews have complained about it being black inside instead of wood.. well it is wood on the the bottom of the shelves inside the cubbyhole. The rest is black but you can’t even tell with my stuff inside and it doesn’t look bad at all!
