THIS IS MY NEW FAVORITE THING!  I had a very small tv stand with a dark bookshelf next to it to hold decorations and photos that wouldn't fit on the tv stand.  This is lovely and with the light color, opened up my living room so much as I was able to get rid of the bookshelf and small stand.  Did not get the fireplace but was able to get a bigger tv!  The instructions did have a couple places that were absolutely wrong, so I had to figure that out by myself, but otherwise, this is sturdy and great!
