This was easily assembled, although some of the steps in order didn't make sense to me. It was assembled in about 2 hours, and loaded up with all it needed to hold. I needed more storage but not all visible, this fit our family's needs. The box it arrives in, is really heavy. I got everything out first to ensure no parts were missing.

I really like this TV stand. It's a beautiful dark colour and goes well with our living room furniture. My husband is a handyman. Even so, he did take several hours to put this together and there were some times when he wasn't too happy about the product. But he figured it out, and it looks beautiful.

Assembled in about 2 hours. Finished product looks nice. The drawer glides smoothly. The doors open and close smoothly and the hinges they provide will surely be strong enough to prevent future sagging. Had extra hardware. (which is way better than not getting enough) It would be nice if they provided more glue for the wooden pins.( We had to use our own glue when we ran out, but we had some so didn't need to run out to the store in the middle of the installation to get some.)
So far, it seems to be better quality than most 'furniture in a box'.
Satisfied with the finished product.

1. The console arrived one day sooner than the estimated arrival date. That impressed me. The UPS driver even set the box inside for me. I appreciated his thoughtfulness.
2. The packing box appeared battered from shipping. I feared the console itself may have sustained damage. After opening the box, I realized that the console had been well packed. Full length sheets of Styrofoam protected the upper and lower console pieces. Smaller pieces were also protected with Styrofoam. Scrap wood protected both ends of the box. The sides of the box were protected with heavy-weight cardboard. I was impressed with the packaging. The console arrived undamaged.
3. The console was easy to assemble. Each piece carried a sticker / label corresponding with directions. It took me several hours to assemble, not from difficulty, but because I was tired and didn't want to make foolish errors. I kept going back to the instructions to assure myself that I was correctly assembling it.
4. I like the style. It looks like the picture on the website. The color is good, in the range I wanted. The finish on the top is different, shiny in some spots and dull in others. It could be better. But for the money, I can live with it. Once the TV is placed on top, it won't be that noticeable. Overall I'm quite satisfied.
5. Humorous Note: I first opened an end of the box. The piece I saw was a grayish color and I wanted a brown-tone. All I could think was, "Crap, either I ordered the wrong color or they shipped the wrong item. This thing is too heavy and cumbersome to return." Then I turned the piece over and saw the sticker stating, "ONLY FOR PACKAGING". Relief washed over me and I had a good laugh.
