The stand arrived in good condition but without instructions for assembly. A call to customer service quickly rectified that problem. It was easy to put together and everyone who has seen it, loves it.
A couple of things To note:
1) the legs in the picture look black but they are really gray making less contrast to the rest of the unit. 
2) the unit itself doesn’t feel real sturdy when place on a carpeted floor due to the narrowness of the legs. We added a board underneath which did help.
