The TV Stand arrived in 2 days as advertised.  It looked like it was in good condition, but when we opened it and started to put it together there was one piece that was broken.  We called and they shipped another piece  right away.  There was a little delay in putting it together but we had time on our side.  The TV Stand went together very good.  We laid all the pieces out in alphabetical order.  Then we followed the enclosed instructions step by step, making sure each piece matched up and was a tight fit before going to the next step..  It took us (my wife and I) around 5 hours including laying out the pieces. I made sure everything turned and tighten good.  Now it looks very good. A good looking piece of furniture.  The 48" stand is just right for our 48" TV and the space where we wanted to put the TV and stand..  Of course we measured several times. We have only had our TV on the stand now for about a week. We will see if everything continues to be so good.
