This TV stand was exactly what we were looking for, as it fit the decor of our living room and fit our 55" TV.  We are so happy with the finished product.  However, it came disassembled, with many different pieces and hardware.  Even though the directions are very specific and easy to understand, for the most part, it still took my husband and I about 4 hours to assemble the TV stand.  So, even though the finished product was well worth the work it took to assemble it, just know that if you buy this you'll need to set aside an afternoon to put it together.  As a tip, the directions say not to use an electric drill but after trying to do it by hand we realized it would take us even more time.  So, we ended up using an electric drill, which sped up the process a bit (though you have to be careful, as the wood might split if you're too hasty).
