The price reflects the quality, and the quality reflects the rating. This is a solid TV stand for someone on a budget. It looks great from far away, but up close it's a little sketchy. It was a little dinged in spots when I took it out of the box, but what can you do. All in all, I'm very happy with it. It was also pretty simple to put together (except for when I hammered two pegs into the wrong hole on step 2, but that's my fault!).
