We've been using this TV stand for a little over a year and have gotten numerous compliments on it. It definitely is sexy slick and it makes our living room look like it just came out of Dwell magazine. Assembly took a good 2-3 hours by myself but I needed my husband when it came time to flip it over because it is quite heavy. The only sad thing is, when my cable guy came by to install something behind my stand, he scooted it over with my TV on top without first picking it up and the leg cracked at the adjoining area to the bottom of the stand. I had to move it back upright and will try to repair it in the future.
