This thing is heavy and it arrived in five days with free shipping. Couple dings, but nothing inside damaged. First of all, do not lose anything! There are no extra screws, dowels, or anything else. If you lose one, you're out of luck so keep track of everything. Assembling this thing is no easy task. I'm not sure what other people are talking about, but I did it completely by myself. It took me around three hours and the next day my hands and wrists were sore from all the screws that had to be driven into the very hefty particle board. This piece uses the typical camlock system that's common with assembled furniture, and A LOT of screws. I really wish I had an electric screwdriver for this project.
Now that it's put together, I'm pretty impressed. It displays as a far nicer piece of furniture than the price suggests. One thing that should be mentioned is that this TV stand is brown wood with a black stain. It's not painted black. So in bright sunlight, it can look a little red/brown as the wood shows through a little. The piece feels solidly constructed and stable, but the support on the bottom that is supposed to hold up the middle of the stand snapped off as soon as it was moved. It's far too flimsy for such an important component. I fear that in a year or so it will start to sag in the middle, but I didn't feel like taking everything out of it to turn it upside down and fix it just to load everything in again.
The thing comes with tons of shelves and you can adjust them however you want inside the compartments. The perfect mix of open/closed spaces ensures that your heat-sensitive components can breathe and the more durable ones can be hidden. It's also probably the tallest 60" TV stand and it gets the panel at the perfect height for viewing from a couch. Cable holes in the back of every compartment makes running wiring easy. Fit and finish, seams, etc are all exacting. I have a 65" TV and it perfectly fits to the edge of the stand. TVs smaller will have space on each side.
Happy with my purchase of this stand right now as I fight the urge to tear everything apart again to try and fix the flimsy center support. When you install it make sure you do it as well as possible.

This is a quality piece of furniture, but I do think it is quite expensive for what you get. Also, my package was missing screws. Overall, I am satisfied. The television stand is beautiful and the installation was very simple.
