We use this TV stand as an entry table. For the function, this is terrific. It stores bags, mail, watches, etc. It really was what our family needed in regards to functionality. It took some time to assemble, but the instructions were clear and thoughtful. It went together without a problem. My primary knock is that it is clearly veneer. I think it photographs slightly better than what it looks like in person. I fully appreciate that the price is reflective of that - but I wish that my entryway had a slightly upgraded piece. (more my issue than the product itself)
