After much shopping in stores and online, we decided on this tv stand for our new 55 tv.  Package arrived on a snowy Friday in great shape.  All the pieces (there are many) were individually wrapped.  Spent a snow day putting it together.  Took husband and I approximately 2 hours.  Well worth the effort.  The pieces are real wood which is very hard to find especially in that price range!  Looks great in our living room.
