Love this TV Stand.I am glad I took a chance with 2 poor reviews with no comments.  Shipping box was damaged in 3 place, but stand was perfect not even a scratch. Stand is 60 wide at top and 57 for the main body area under the top lip.  Open shelf is 31.5 w x 5 7/8 T x 16 D. We were able to get all of our electronics on the top open shelf. Assembly took about 2 hours with 2 people. My husband said it was not hard-just follow the directions. You need 2 people when putting the 4 sides up all at once and putting the top on.You could put decorative things behind the glass doors. I chose lots of storage. I bought baskets to fit the shelves for storage. (see pics)The color is a little darker but I like it.This is a nice sturdy cabinet and I am very happy with it.
