Agree with other posts that instructions are not easy to follow. That said it’s 6 screws on each side so it didn’t take too long to figure out. Like that it’s solid wood but not too heavy. I set it up by myself. It’s reclaimed wood and not perfectly smooth but I put my tv on top (48”) and it works fine. I like the modern twist w the metal on the ends. Middle wood piece is fine and holds my cable box. Would purchase again.
