The stand is wonderful. It looks really nice in the room. It feels really sturdy. It's on the heavy side due to it's construction out of particle board. You build this stand yourself. I didn't rush construction, and it took me about 4 hours. Really simple, easy to follow instructions. Having all the extra shelves is really nice. I bought this stand because of it's size and the fact that there are so many shelves. I also wanted something that I could close, due to having a toddler in the house. I would rate this at 5 stars.
