This arrived extremely well packaged, assembled, and undamaged and thank you Wayfair for bringing it inside for us! The color was exactly as pictured and it's a very quality piece. The wood is so solid that we actually had some issues with our wifi once setting up and had to find a different spot for our router but hey that should tell you that it's high quality wood! There are many TV stands of this style but I think we make the right choice for this one based on quality and price.
