Perfect item for an entertainment system! The Tv stand looks exactly as it appears in the add. I love the built in fire place as it adds a nice touch to a room. This item was very easy to assemble and the instructions are easy to follow. Although it is easy to assemble it does take time to assemble. I think it took me an hour and a half assembling it alone. It could have been done in an hour but I wanted to ensure that I followed every step correctly. I highly recommend this piece if you are considering it!
