I purchased this as a tv stand, based on the title. when it arrived i was pleasantly surprised at the easy instructions to assemble. it didn't require any extra tools, and didn't take very long. once built however, it's apparent that this unit is far too small for a tv of any size. as you can see by the image, the top of the table is shorter than the seat of your couch. so when your tv is on it, you're sort of looking down at your tv. luckily, i was also in the market for a coffee table, so this was downgraded from tv stand to coffee table. the other downside is that it's sort of wobbly (probably due to my amateur building skills) so as a coffee table it sits a little unevenly. overall pros: cute accent furniture, easy assembly, great priceoverall cons: way too small, had to make a trip to west elm for a proper tv stand which is what i was initially trying to avoid.
