This stand is so cute in my space! The first one arrived damaged so they sent another which was perfect! It is heavy as can be and took a little time to assemble. The color of the wood is pretty much the same as in the photo, and I think it actually looks better in person. I was worried originally about the little leg in the center and the back panel between the shelf and the drawers, but I don't even notice it! It is actually nice because it helps to hide the cords behind the television. My TV is 42 inches and it looks good on top of it. If it was any bigger, I think the TV would dwarf the stand and look silly.
