I'm very satisfied with this TV stand!! It's very sturdy and looks not cheap at all! I was little worried about plastic handle after reading what other people said about it. But, it looks much better than what I expected! It is made out of plastic but looks metal when you see it from few distance away. As for assembly time, my hubby took approximately solid 3.5 hours (BTW, he has never assembled any furniture before). It is worth for the price!
