Love this stand! If you're looking for a modern solid wood stand then this is it. It's very long so make sure you have the room for it. The drawer is deep and can hold plenty of stuff, as you can see in the pic. It have a nice rustic color to it and goes well with black. The metal is solid and also have a rustic look to it, not black color. The wood is very smooth to the touch. Now as you can see in the pics, I had a custom base built for it. One because I wanted the lighting affect. Two the base keep it from rocking back and fourth on carpet. Yes this stand rocks a little if you have on carpet. Three I wanted to raise it up a little because I wanted to use this as a entertainment slash computer desk. Whatever you do with this stand you'll absolutely love it.
