We purchased the black/white, the color in the photo is very accurate. The stand is made out of manufactured wood (Particle Board/Chipboard) but that is expected of any piece of furniture at this price point (you'll have to pay $1,000+ for solid wood). Putting it together took time because it has a lot of pieces holding it together (screws, wood pegs,etc) but it can definitely be a one-man job, just make sure you follow the instructions. The furniture stands very firm and sturdy, all the parts fit perfectly; we have a 70 inch tv on it.  The only "negative" if you will, is that the left door doesn't close perfect (it has magnets to keep it closed) but that is really our fault, this can happen even with custom cabinatry. Make sure you don't rush it.  Overall a great piece of furniture, we are very happy with our purchase.
