This is a clean, simple, sound piece of furniture that readily fulfills the desire for "less is more". It's elegant and strong, readily fitting into any decor for the TV. It came expertly packed (everything neatly - even tightly - in place using foam inserts). The unit looks exactly like those in the product pictures. In my opinion, it's main advantage is that it is at eye-level for someone sitting on a couch or chair, as opposed to an ugly wall mount which directs the eyes upward. It's easy to shift the viewing position of the TV on a laminate floor, with plastic feet that slide easily without scratching.Everyone who has assembled furniture realizes that patience and close attention to the assembly guide are essential. This guide contains few words (made in China), yet if the pictures are closely followed, the screws, nuts, bolts and tools (in a labeled kit) closely viewed, and the assembly in the steps shown followed, it takes about 1.5 hr (2 people) to put together.The finished product holds the TV securely and provides 3 faux-wood shelves for the TV router and knick-knacks. For a room with dark laminate wood, it looks like it belongs and is quite attractive. Family members have complimented me on my wise choice! ;>)
