Mine will be completed (hopefully) next week when the handyman comes to put it together.  I did try to do it myself, but a part broke when it began to fall over (illustration #1).  From there on, I decided that, even if I was successful in finishing it, I would still need help bringing it right side up (too heavy for me).  That was when I decided a pro should handle it.  The parts do look nice and it will hopefully hold together so that the tv will have its new resting place.

Pros: like the style and the color I chose (brown mahogany)
Cons: I have never had anything this difficult to put together.  This item should have been offered with an already assembled shipping.
