Once it’s together it is beautiful. It took way too long to put together there was lots of little screws to put in. It took about 3 hrs to fully get everything together. The biggest con I would have to say is that for the money it should be sturdier but the fact of the matter is most of all stands are built out of this material and it just isn’t fantastic. Do I think it’s worth the money? No absolutely not considering our old stand was less and way more solid and held up to 2 toddlers always messing with it. Am I happy with my purchase? Yes I do love the stand and it is very pretty.  I love the fireplace and the design of the stand. I just wish the wood was actually sturdy. While putting it together a piece got a crack in it just from screwing in the screws.  Which is frustrating considering the price of the stand.
