After reading alot of reviews I decided to go ahead and order this stand even though alot of reviews said when they received it there was alot of dings and scratches. When I received it the box was opened. After taking out all the pieces I noted se dings. It took me and someone else 3 hours to put together. I wasn't that concerned about the few dings and scratches on it and I am pleased with the way it fits into my space. I would reccommend.
