I never take the time to write reviews, but I am so happy with this piece I just thought I should. I bought this to use as a TV stand for our 54"plasma tv, and it looks awesome. The piece took about a week to arrive in 3 boxes, packed very well. The boxes were a little tattered looking, but everything inside was fine. I (female) assembled this almost all by myself, except for when I had to turn it upright and move it into position-very heavy. I have assembled furniture before and the directions were good, but as other reviews said, it takes a long time to assemble. They gave extra hardware, except did not give me quite enough cams, but I did without two in the middle sections of one drawer, and I think it will be okay. I had to drill a hole in the back in order to get TV/component wires through, but I expected to do this since it is really a sideboard. This piece is real wood, beautiful dark brown finish and I love the modern look. What I got for the money is fantastic and the piece does look just as it is pictured. I priced lots of other pieces similar in size and design and this was cheaper and better looking than any other I found! It is my favorite piece of furniture in my house!! I would highly recommend this.
