I had been looking for a TV stand for months.  I needed something that didn't take up a lot of room while big enough for a 50" TV.  I love the design of this piece.  It took me about 1.5 hours to put it together by myself.  Probably would have gone a bit faster with two people.  One hole needed to be drilled but other than that all of the pieces fit together very easily.  Highly recommend this product.  Looks more expensive than it was.
