I received the 1st one with cracked doors, so I was very disappointed. However, customer service was fantastic and I received a new one eventually. It was not difficult to put together, it took me an hour (but I was watching a movie while I did it and took "breaks"). I like the concealed storage a lot. It holds my DVDs and my son's PS3 equipment among other things. My 46" tv sits on it with no issues. It seems sturdy so far. No wobbling or sagging. I love the look it give my little living room. I'm very happy with it!
