I purchased this TV stand because it had such great reviews, but there were some negatives and that is why+ I am submitting my input.  First, this was so easy to put together.  It only took a couple of hours.  The assembly instructions were very clear.  The hardware was very precise and it fit together like a glove.  It is very solid, sturdy and most of all highly appealing.  The rich dark color is very pretty and it blends in nicely with my decor. It arrived very quickly and not one scratch or mar was on any piece.   I couldn't be happier and Wayfair gets an A+ for great customer service.
