Honestly this exceeded my expectations...completely transformed our TV room! The quality is great and it was not difficult to put together. I would suggest using wood glue for any wooden pegs or joints to strengthen the construction, but not necessary to do so.  If you have a TV with long lateral leg stands, you may want to measure them to make sure they will fit the width of the TV Stand.  My TV legs hang over just a bit on the back of the stand.
