I love this TV stand! The TV stand is exactly how it looks in the picture. The assembly was very very easy. All that I had to put together was just the top and the shelves, the rest of the unit already comes assembled. All you have to do is open it up like an accordion pretty much.
Another thing I love about the stand is the amount of space it has, it can hold up to at least 50 VHS tapes on either side of the stand (that's how many I have on one side mine).
Overall it's a great elegant piece for your living room, I recommend anyone who's looking for elegance in their living room or whatever room to buy this piece.
