The poor rating is mainly a representation of a very poor customer experience. I was able to put the TV stand together in a few hours by myself with minimal issues. The packaging was filled with thousand of small beads, which when I open the box went everywhere in my home. Luckily, I didn't have my dog there that day because there would have definitely been a safety issue. I'm still trying to clean up the mess.

The TV stand itself appears that it will be a decent buy for the price, but I've only had it assembled for 12hrs.
