Overall, IÃÂ¢ÃÂÃÂm pleased with the TV stand. I would say it was worth it for the price listed, but I would never pay the $300+ original price. It works well to hold my TV and various boxes, though the cords are visually displeasing. The instructions were a bit hard to follow, but that was because I had just assembled 2 book shelves with video instructions. IÃÂ¢ÃÂÃÂd recommend making available video instructions for the TV stand, too. It took a little over an hour to assemble...but that was because I was familiar with some of the steps and hardware from having just put together similar furniture. Without that familiarity, it would have taken me longer. 
As you can see, I put the legs on the right in the wrong position, but it seems to hold fine and I didnÃÂ¢ÃÂÃÂt want to disassemble to correct it. Overall, I like the retro look and it takes minimal space in my TV room. The height of the TV is also great..the whole family can view from our sectional.
