I like this tv stand a lot. I have a pretty small tv, but I wanted something with a lot of storage for dvds to help declutter the living room. I was able to put it together by myself in an hour-and-a-half with just a screwdriver/drill. A second person would have made it easier to lift the top piece on but it’s not impossible to go at it alone. Helpful tip : use a power drill if you have one because there are a lot of screws.
