Wow!  I just would like to say that I have researched many stands on the internet.  I went through 2 months of searching and over 200 pieces.  I bought this and was concerned about the quality and how long it would take to put together.  Well the quality was amazing.  My wife thought this was a 400 dollar piece.  Very heavy wood with the cherry finish.  Looks elegant.  As far as putting it together...Take your time and read the instructions carefully.  Then there are no problems.  Went together very good.  My family and I absolutely LOVE this piece.  Get it and you wont regret it.
