Very cool look and feel with this TV stand. Could eaaily double as a console throughout the house. If you like Mercury Row but don't make $1.2M per year, this is a viable option. Only downside I'd say is that the wood veneer is a touch plasticky in appearance and to that end not the most realistic. It's subtle though and most wouldn't notice. I also believe the pictures don't give the most accurate depiction of the color. I bought the brown finish and it is slightly darker in person. Putting it together was pretty easy. No pre-drilled holes on the bottom two wood shelves though, so do not attempt unless you have a powerdrill or wrists of steel. Overall I am pleased but not thrilled. I'd buy it again but I'd probably consider a slightly more expensive variant if it had a more realistic veneer. Get what you pay for.
