First off the quality isn’t the best but it matches the prices point so I can’t really complain. Secondly the assembly wasn’t difficult at all. I was able to do the stand all by myself. The craftsmanship of the stand is kind of poor making assembly harder than it should be. But with some adjustments of my own I got it done. Like some of the other reviews stated, the boards aren’t straight once screwed in and there’s really no helping that. It doesn’t really bother me and isn’t extremely noticeable. Overall the stand serves its purpose for a good price and still looks really nice!
