Great inexpensive TV stand, came well packaged. However, if your trying to set this up, the back middle screws are not long enough to connect. My solution was loosen the screws 1 turn up from the base so its not completely screwed in and that way it actually connects. I figure its more secure than just leaving it unscrewed. Also, for the double ended metal part start by securing it to the top part and then tighten the bottom or else the screw falls down and you wont be able to catch the screw.
