I usually don't like buying furniture online sight unseen. But let me tell you, this TV stand has beaten all my expectations and more. It is stylish, sturdy and well-constructed. The materials are decent too - yes, it is still just made of mdf wood. However, the finishing touches are exceptional. The surfaces of the main cabinet have an actual wood grain feel, not just the visual pattern. I was very impressed when I first felt it! Most Ikea furniture would not have that. The design is thoughtful, not just in terms of looks, but also in terms of sturdiness and functionality. For example, its set of feet is attached to its own wooden subframe that bolts on to the bottom of the main cabinet. They are not just stuck on like an after thought. It has this expensive feel to it even though the price is very reasonable for a mid-century style stand. The two cabinet doors also look great, the rounded corners give it a distinctive and authentic feel. It was delivered to our house in perfect condition and well-packaged with enough padding material. Assembly is ok - it did take me over two hours to complete, and I am a seasoned furniture assembler who knows how to read schematic diagrams and instructions very well. The extra time in assembly is attributed mostly to the above average number of bolts and hardware parts required to put everything together - which is actually a plus since it really gives the unit strength for long term use. Our 55" LG LED TV looks great on it. If you are considering this TV stand, don't hesitate, it's a great buy and you will likely love it like I do.
