It looks beautiful in our den with a 55 inch flat screen.  The instructions are easy.  It's a then b then c, etc. Follow them and it is an easy assembly,,,,,,,except for the back.  The back consist of 5 pcs. with wooden dowels.  It just would not go as it was intended.  The flat 3 pcs. were bowed and they should be flat and fit into grooves that are a part of the assembly.  I could not make it work, even after a couple of hours.  Finally went to a store and bought my own brackets to make it work.  Once past that, I had it finished in no time.  Again, it looks beautiful in our den.  Nice and sturdy.  We bought it for the looks, length and height.   Over all a good purchase.
