This stand is just what I needed.  The brown is a bit more dark cherry than brown, but fine for what I wanted.  Took me 3 hours to put together including unpacking, and a couple of holes on one shelf were in the wrong place, but overall easy assembly and no major problems.  I'm 5'2" and 60 years old so I was a bit concerned It might be too much for me by myself, but it wasn't at all.  I chose not to attach the base since It was so much sturdier without.  I attached felt sliders to protect my wood floor and make it easier to move, and   I used wood glue I had on hand rather than what was included.  Plenty of room for everything and the drawer slides easily.  No complaints so far.  We'll see how it holds up.
