fantastic tv stand! i will say it took longer than an hour to build (even with a background of building things) only because of all the screws holding it together BUT its very sturdy and and the color is exactly as presented. It came just in time for the holiday season and cant wait to show our family the newest addition to our home!! ps. it comes with glue for the dowels but make sure to buy some extra we ran out very quickly and had to make a trip to the store
