I love my new TV stand!  Once I got it out of the box and read the directions, it seemed easy enough.  Up until the very last step, everything fit easily into place and I was able to get it 90% assembled.  The last step involved screwing the top shelf onto the rest of the already assembled pieces, but the screw would not tighten.  I kept thinking I was doing something wrong, but after trying each corner a few times, I just gave up and called it complete.  The weight of my TV on the top of the unit will keep it all in place anyway.  It's beautiful and I do love it!
