My husband and I love how the TV stand looks. You definitely need more than one person to put this stand together. Pay close attention to the drawings in the instructions because you can easily put it together wrong. When the glass doors are opened, they swing open all the way, so it would've been nice if there was a buffer or stopper of some kind. The bottom shelf on the far left and the far right do extend behind the curved pieces on the front of the stand. We wish that wasn't the case because if you store DVDs or games in there standing up, you can't see some of them. Overall it's a pretty sturdy TV stand, and we like the look.
