This is a nice-looking piece and the quality is decent for an inexpensive, wood-veneer TV console.  I hired a handyman to assemble it, so I cant comment on the level of difficulty, but he did it himself in an hour. I ordered the wood tone and really like the rustic look it provides. It is very heavy. I like that this piece was narrow enough to fit on a short wall, while being tall enough to still provide ample storage. The open top shelf is perfect for TV equipment, and the lower middle shelves are tall enough to accommodate a Wii and 9 wireless router. The cabinets provide just enough storage for a small collection of DVDs or some candles. For an affordable piece of furniture, I definitely recommend it.
