Don't be fooled by how many cons i'm including below -- i recommend this tv stand. i'm just a sack of cynicism. pros:- sturdy and heavy- unstained makes it easy to match to other furniture- lots of space for receiver + speakers in center area; media paraphernalia in top areacons:- corners of top piece arrived slightly smushed. not sure if it the delivery or my transportation, but in any case, packaging leaves a bit to be desired.- there are only four steps to assemble this. four! the instructions are pretty efficient, but it certainly feels like it's missing some additional guidance for step 2: i highly recommend attaching the side pieces (legs) to the structure you assembled in step 1 *before* attaching it to the top piece. - magnets for cabinet doors are very weakpros: sturdy and heavy
