This fireplace is definitely way overpriced. My husband and I spent a lot of time talking it over and reading reviews before purchasing the stand. The reviews were overwhelmingly positive which is why I'm so confused! We ordered the stand in white and the holes for the different levels of the shelving--which have been photo-shopped out online--are painfully obvious. There are also parts of the stand which don't align correctly, and the very top of the stand noticeably bows in toward the center. Not to mention the paint is chipped in numerous places. Also, the cardboard backing keeps falling off. It just looks and feels so cheap! I'm incredibly embarrassed that we paid so much for it. Manufactured wood TV stands like this have no right being so expensive.
