We purchased this corner unit to place our new flat screen tv on in our family room.  It looks beautiful, functions as promised, and Im sure we will enjoy it for many years.   It did take some time to assemble, and you do need to read the directions carefully to make sure that you have the pieces lined up in the right direction... we learned that the hard way, but we are creative and were able to improvise.   It is made of composite material and will  likely be prone to dings, but for the price and what we are using it for, we are happy with the purchase.
