The TV stand I purchased is quite beautiful modern in design but although putting it together was lengthy and not too difficult I did find several of the key pieces had damage to them.  Upon delivery I noticed the box looks like it had been roughly handled and I questioned the UPS driver as to possible damages of the item inside. He jokingly blew me off saying it was probably OK  and of course that was not the case. I was able to fix the gouges and damaged corners with wood putty and was able to match with my craft paints.  It is unfortunate that the shipping handlers Are not as careful as they could be. Returning this extremely heavy item would have been more of a hindrance so I decided to keep it and make The best of a less than perfect situation.
