I just assembled one of these yesterday. It's totally flawless. The manufacturing is just outstanding. I've built a lot of furniture from kits in my day, and this LOOKS fairly complicated, but man, they really do a great job walking you through this - the instructions are terrific and they even have cute little moments where they tell you to take a break and have some water. As a finished product, it's perfect and elegant looking. I've needed a TV stand for a while, so maybe I'm especially won over, but wow, real guy here in California with no particular expertise, and this is now the nicest piece of furniture I own!
