The excellent design of this stand met all of my expectations. There is a large open shelf directly under the extra-wide TV table-top, three smaller shelves below with an optional cloth drawer for the middle one, and a modern yet rustic look. It goes well with my other rustic furniture. There's plenty of room on top for other items besides my 50" TV, and the built-in LED lighting strip is a bonus. It came packed in a reasonably small box with many pieces but was pretty easy to put together.
