Very nice quality.  Very heavy and sturdy. I kept the wine holder off. It took a little while to assembly, but is definitely worth it.  We drilled holes in the back for the cords.  Perfect size to go under our 50 tv and hold the direct tv box and Xbox. I liked this because it was taller than many of the options I saw for tv stands. Great buy for the price. Would definitely recommend. Nice farmhouse touch. I wouldnt necessarily call it distressed, but still nice.
