DONT SKIP STEP 11 IN THE ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS! This tv stand is heavy and sturdy, very nice textured finish, and it came with all the hardware necessary. It took me 3 hours to build alone, so with help it might be less than that. I skipped number 11 because the instructions are illustrations only and step 11 was hidden in a diagram in a mess of lines and things and I didnt see it. Dont make the mistake I did!! Once you realize, you would have to take so much of it apart to fix it that I just had to improvise and it worked. But hopefully I can prevent someone else from making the same mistake. Worth every penny though and the sliding doors glide very nicely.
