This stand looks good with my other mid-century modern inspired pieces. It does have an odor at first, but it dissipates over a few days. Like other reviewers, the legs are a bit concerning when moving the stand (they want to retract), but once there is some weight in/on the the stand, it seems to help. It did come with brackets to help keep the legs open, but they just don't seem to fit in place. All in all, I would buy this piece again.
