This piece was pretty easy to put together by myself. The instructions were easy to follow. I only had to redo one step due to lack of clarity.

The cardboard box that the item was shipped in was literally shredded when it arrived, but everything inside was intact and in good shape. It seems to be of pretty good quality its certainly adequate to hold a TV.

I gave it a rating of 4 instead of 5 because there are only 3 small holes in the back top shelves for wires. Without cutting a hole in the back lower shelves, theres no way to put av components on the bottom shelves. Im planning on cutting a hole so I can put a speaker on the bottom.
