The instructions to assemble was extremely easy. The person definitely has a sense of humor! I think it looks nice but when I took it out of the box; I found a couple dings/dents in the finished areas. The frame around the glass doesn't line up exact. I don't believe anyone would notice unless they were examining it. It is also darker than I expected. I didn't wanted to spend a lot of money. And you get what you pay for... this is definitely a $100-$150 tv stand.
