I was expecting this TV stand to be a little taller, but I love it all the same.  As with other reviewers, it was not easy to assemble.  I was only able to assemble it with the assistance of a YouTube video.  The instructions are not very helpful.  Other than that, it is a beautiful TV stand.  Oh, I'm not sure where to put the glass that was included.  Maybe it is a shelf in case you do not opt for the fireplace insert.
