This is a very nice tv stand. It took my husband and me about 2.5 hours to assemble. The middle piece that stabilizes the stand was a little smashed probably during delivery but since it cannot be seen, it's ok. The only thing I am not happy about but can live with is that the color of the piece is lighter than anticipated. The picture shows a darker gray item but when I opened my box, I was shocked to see a lighter grey item...not a deal breaker though. I really like my purchase overall!
