First I must admit, this was a gift and I didn't have the pleasure of building it myself. Those tasked with this said it 'wasn't bad' and took a couple of hours and a six pack of beer. There were no problems with hardware, pre drilled holes, etc... When I visited the person who built this I was happily amazed at the look and the feel and the overall quality. It looks like a piece of 'real' furniture and not a particle board fake piece of junk. It has a veneer that looks great and feels like an expensive piece of furniture. I cannot comment on the long term durability of the materials but can guess that if you don't move it much or move it correctly (NOT DRAGGING) it.. it should last you for years. As with all RTA furniture you must be careful during moves or rearranging since this can and will weaken it at connection points. If you don't want to worry about that you'll have to lay down hundreds more for something similar. Overall, a good product, good price and nice addition to your home.

We ordered this as a replacement for an open glass-shelf TV stand as a way to get cords managed and hidden from little fingers (and not to have sharp glass shelves either.) We also needed a stand that would accommodate a DVD player with a large footprint and it fits just perfectly into the open shelf (it is about 18" square); our cable box and a center speaker fit into the other shelf. Our TV is 42" and there is room enough on either side for side speakers and the wii is tucked behind one. We have put a lot of the speaker wires and other cables/wires into the drawers (which we are planning on putting child locks on) and it is so nice to have them tucked away! Overall I am quite pleased with it. I think it looks better in person than in the picture. A review on another website mentioned it not being sturdy and the reviewer had reinforced it with wood glue; we did not find that we needed to do this. It is plenty sturdy for us and the directions for assembly were easy to follow. We were also happy with the price, as it seems silly to spend a lot of money on technology housing when the technology changes so often (e.g. giant TV armoires of the 90s.) Is it the most solid, high quality stand you could buy? No. But, if you need a TV stand that is deep enough for an older (5 years old haha!) flat screen TV with a trapezoidal footprint and/or to house larger accessories and hide wires AND looks nice at a good price, this is your stand.
