The stand arrived far sooner than expected, which was great. Two [older] excited amateurs began construction early the next day. Many parts but marked well, patience is required, and it definitely takes two to lift (we assembled on top of dining table to avoid back-bending and the floor scoot boogie). It's a nice addition to our farmhouse decor (even though it is not solid barn wood it is a very attractive piece). FYI-It sits in a corner with a 70" TV hung above (twelve inch space is enough for knick knacks or whatever to sit on top of unit) on a full motion bracket.
