Finding the right TV stand to bring our living room refresh to completion was probably more of a chore than it should have been. First, these things can be expensive - particularly when you're looking for something with a little more class than that standard black laminate Ikea-style stuff. My wife and I spend far too much time watching Chip and Joanna Gaines, and had invested far too much money into the other pieces to let the TV stand ruin what the Gainses would otherwise have loved in our new-styled, Fixer Upper-inspired living room.This piece here though? Absolute perfection and easily the best piece of furniture in there.It looks good on the screen, but it's absolutely beautiful as the piece that pulled together our room. Never in a million years would I have imagined calling a piece of furniture beautiful but this one really is. ESPECIALLY considering the price point in comparison to similar styles.PROS:Assembly - I'm not going to lie and say I'm super handy. I mean, I can follow directions well and know how to use basic hand tools, but I'm not winning any Handyman of the Year Awards anytime soon. That being said, I went from box-to-build in just under an hour with minimal help from anyone else. There are times when it's good to have an extra set of hands, but if you do have to put it together alone, you won't struggle. The instructions are well mapped out and anyone with some assembly experience and a picture of the end product could probably assemble without so much as a glance at the instructions. THERE ARE A LOT OF PIECES but don't let that intimidate you. The build is largely intuitive and that pile of bolts and nuts and such starts to disappear pretty quickly.Appearance - Not sure if I've mentioned this already, but this is a beautiful piece of furniture. We opted for the grey wood finish and it really looks pretty high end and elegant. The color and finish are awesome and the barn doors on front are cherry on the top; they take it from being a TV stand to being a piece of furniture you can incorporate into your room with style or even build around.Sturdiness and Functionality - Super well built when it's together. No leans, or creaking, or anything you can sometimes get with self-assembled furniture. More than enough shelving and the cutouts for wires are just in the right places.Price - Beauty on a budget. We'd looked at similar styles that were priced well into the hundreds (One even scratched the surface of 4-digit pricing) ... I can't imagine we'd be any happier with a purchase of one of the pricier options. This one looks and feels just right. Still the most money we've probably ever spent on something to hold/house our TV, but not a single regret.CONS:Honestly, I don't have a single one. I'm a pretty hard to satisfy buyer so I can generally always find a way to poke holes. Not this time.Overall:I'm not sure why you're even still reading and haven't added it to your cart. If it caught your eye in the first place you like the style and I can assure you that if that's the case you'll be happy with the purchase. Go ahead, make it the centerpiece of your space. Make Chip and Jo proud.
