This sturdy tv stand was exactly what I was looking for! Although it took me a few hours to put together, the pieces were rather easily assembled. Some of the pieces were rather heavy and it may require two people. The finish is true to the product pictures; it blends in seamlessly with my other black furniture. The handled doors are hinged from the bottom and need to be pulled open. Overall, this tv stand was worth the purchase. *Pictured is a 55” tv*
