TV stand was put together by my son who has assembled numerous furniture items.  He had no problems, but it would be a "BEAST" if this was their first item.  The cabinet top has a small flaw in it that is being address with Wayfair as I write this review.  The flaw was there when we unwrapped the shipping material, but once unwrapped there is no way it can be rewrapped for return.  This flaw is similar to one stated in another review.  It evidently is a shipping problem?
