This is an awesome TV stand. It looks real nice and it lights up, blue, red, and green but it has a little remote that mixes the colors so sometimes you may see some purple, sky blue, etc. It has different control settings for it, as far as how you want the lights to flash. It does plug in so you don't have to worry about batteries. It's very nice, the only drawback is the glass gets super dirty super quick, no matter how much you clean it, and if you move the unit, the glass falls off. It also takes a long time to put together as the instructions are pretty much useless.
