This is a great stand - looks exactly like the photos and is high quality.  The wood is heavy and nicely finished, and the piece is very sturdy.  It is much easier to assemble with 2 people since the pieces are large - my wife and I assembled it in about an hour.  I have placed a 65" Sony TV on it, and the stand has an extra 6-8" on each side, so it looks very nice.  The stand is about 14" deep, so make sure that works with your TV stand.  Would highly recommend this piece!
