Overall the piece is nice.  Recycled wood gives it a unique look.  Apparently, no two pieces are the same.  However, the wood on top of the stand is uneven, so if you plan to put a tv on top, it may be uneven/lop-sided depending on how they put the wood together.  Also, I received the wrong hardware, so I have to wait at least a week to get the (4) metal pieces to hold the shelf in place in the middle of the stand.  Stand is much lighter than I thought as well.  Overall, if you are looking for a recycled wood look with untreated wood with imperfections, this is right for you.
