The whole purpose of buying this TV stand was the soundbar shelf. Dimensions in the descriptions are wrong and my soundbar didn't fit in there. It is very disappointing and now I'm stuck with a TV stand that can't be used for its purpose. It is a very good-looking and sturdy stand but it is very easily scratched. The whole "walnut" look is just a super-thin sticker on top of the manufactured wood. This sticker is basically like wood-looking paper. I knew it was made out of manufactured wood and didn't expect much but this is way worse than I expected I wish I spent $400 for something else since I still can't use it as I was planning to. This beautiful look is not going to last long... For anyone who is interested in how long the top shelf between the doors, it is 43". I attached some photos of how thin the "wooden" layer is.
