Took maybe 5 minutes to put together and looks great in the room we have it in.  You get what you pay for so if you are looking for something extravagant this is not it, however, if you are looking for something practical and simple this is your stand!  We use it for the guest bedroom so it isn't of utmost important of looking perfect.  Came with a few dings on the stand that are noticeable but it isn't that big of a deal.
