We have not moved yet so I haven't put the tv stand together yet. However, the box is very heavy and when I opened it to check the gray finish I noticed how nicely it was packaged. The charcoal finish is very nice but has a bit of a shine to it. Shouldn't be an issue once I get it put together and in my living room.

Pros: Packaged nicely, unique charcoal gray finish

We put the piece together and it looks great. The process was very time consuming but ultimately everything fit the way it should.
