I love this stand! I use it as a buffet/bar type of table. I placed my alcoholic beverages on top and use the other two shelves to hold my glasses and plates. It fits it perfectly with my decor and the finished product looks high end. I put it together by myself and while the pieces are pretty heavy it did not take me more and an hour and a half. My friends love it as well. I even had one of them ask if they could buy it from me! I told them nope they had better go to Wayfair!
