I haven't put this TV stand together yet, but I have taken it out of the box and looked at the instructions.  I'm waiting to put it together for when I have more time as there are many pieces and it's going to take a while.  I really like the stain of the wood.  It looks high end and has a rustic look to it too.  I think it's very nice so far.  So the 5 rating is not on durability of anything like that, just from what I can tell of it after opening it.
