Actually, it's beautiful... pictures don't do it justice! It took 10 minutes to put together... really! The aluminum legs are more understated than the picture shows. It goes so well with my bright green bedroom. The color of the walls shines though and the stand looks almost invisible and airy. It's a good size to watch TV if you have a high bed like me. I have modern glass and metal lighting and the stand seems like it was designed with that in mind. Recommend!
