The stand is sturdy and looks good in the room. It is fiddly and takes a couple of hours to put together but is not difficult. All the pieces were there and the instructions were fairly clear if you pay attention to the details. My one criticism is that the milling of the pieces is not as precise as it could be. The groove of the front trim piece was not straight so it is not completely straight across the top. The predrilled holes for the hinges on the doors are not precise so the gaps around the doors are not completely even. It took some fiddling to get them acceptable.
