After looking in many stores and reviewing what seemed like hundreds of TV stands online Im very pleased with this product.  It has the look I wanted and the perfect size for our 47 flat screen TV.  The wood is just a little darker than what is pictured but thats even better.  Its the wood tone I wanted.  The stand is very sturdy.   I assembled the product myself except for a couple steps my husband had to hold the pieces steady for me.  I found the directions fairly easy except the picture of a couple of the steps was a little difficult to understand.  It took me an hour and 15 minutes to put it together.  Its a very good-looking piece of furniture and for the price you cant beat it.
