I love the design, but the materials used was disappointing. I thought the whole thing was made from wood. Its actually particle wood with wood grain laminate. The legs on the bottom were very cheaply made and are painted solid black. Aside from the main thing that bothers me is the middle, there is a lot of unused space. It would be nice to have a glass shelf to put things on top of, but I guess I'll get one made later on. Aside from that its an excellent and affordable tv stand that really makes my home entertainment set up pop.
