It's definitely a beautiful, sturdy piece. And the shipping was super fast. It's created so much more space in my awkward LR. I have two issues with it. One, after we were 3/4's of the way through in assembly, one of the legs screw holes did not line up. So we had to stop assembling and wait til the next day to go buy a special file to line the holes up. And two, we just got a new Samsung 50 inch TV and the it just barely sits on top of the stand. Luckily, the company puts an extra piece of matching wood for packing purposes, so we're gonna see about cutting it and attaching it to the stand to better secure the TV. The new tvs have legs on the outer edges of it instead of the single leg that comes down thru the center. So where this says up to 55 inches, be mindful of the legs on your TV. Overall, I love the classic, clean look. It's really enjoyable. It also holds the sound bar nicely as well a the additional speakers down below, quite well.
