When it’s finally put together it looks good. Putting it together wasn’t hard, just time consuming (about 2 hours). Putting it together without damaging the finish with all the sharp edges on the metal hardware was the problem. Be prepared with a paint touch up pen. Wood legs are stained a different color than the manufactured wood top (shades darker and much more red toned), but nobody else seems to really notice! I probably would not buy this TV Stand if I had a do-over. It’s good but not great and the small problems add up.
