This stand is well worth the money! Came in a couple of tall and flat packages. Shipping was very fast. It will take you hours to put together and it will require at least 2 people to assemble. But is very nice once altogether. Holds our 55" flat screen with room on each side for a vase. Matched perfectly with our furniture. Very true to picture. We got the salted oak and it's exactly like pictured. Very pleased!
