This t.v. stand is beautiful and looks great. Its a higher end "put together yourself" piece of furniture. I like the storage for all your cd's,dvds, ect. Had to give it 4 stars because its a tedious build. If you have a hard time following instructions this may be difficult for you to follow. May need some help. It took me 4 1/2 hrs. to complete it. But once done its a great piece for my 42" wide screen. It weighs alot so i also suggest 2 people lift it.
