I am torn on how I feel about this TV stand... on one hand, it is rather junky. Several of the white metal pieces were scratched, and nothing fits together quite right. (Even my husband, who is very handy and strong, struggled to get the metal tower part together due to one piece being slightly bent.) The shelves are cheap particle board. The M5 and M6 included hardware did not fit our 55" TV; we had to go buy M8. But on the other hand, I wanted an open white stand that wouldn't cover our brick wall, and I couldn't find anything else that would work as well as this for the price. It looks nice in our living room from a few feet away. I just wish it was of higher quality.
