Took me 2 days to put this stand together.  Instructions were so poor ended up figuring it out on my own.   If you've ever assembled any kind of dresser or cabinet this one can be figured out.  I also had to jerryrig some key pieces to ensure the bench part of the stand would hold up.  Cheap plastic pieces used for hardware wasn't going to cut it for me.  It's solid now and looks great in my entrance, but if the price is too good to be true, check the reviews.
