I recently had my TV sitting on the floor as my prior TV stand was too small. I found this TV Stand because it was affordable, matched my current furniture, and had free shipping.Shipping was nice, it was very well packaged, and I usually get stuff beat up and broken because it has to come all the way up to Alaska but this arrived intact, only issue was one corner was the slightest bit depressed but it didn't bother me, and even when I look hard it's hard to notice.The color is perfect, a dark espresso, almost black in dim light - richly colored and very nice. The knobs are a matte silver and go nicely with the espresso color.Putting it together was easy, I have but together many pieces of furniture and this one fell towards the easy medium side. One thing to note: to keep the screws from showing they included espresso colored wood plugs which is great, but be sure to have a rubber mallet to knock them into place because the stand will not look quite right without this tool. The things that have to line up just right (i.e. the magnets for the opening door) are already put together. I had no problems with anything else lining up.My TV is large and very heavy and this TV stand supports 200 pounds with no problems noted.The reason I am not giving it 5 stars is because when I put my TV on it, it got a little scratched and the espresso color rubbed off and showed the white wood under it. I fixed this with black shoe polish and its fine now, but I wish the espresso layer of color was a bit harder to have come off.Over all I am very happy with this purchase, given the chance I would have made the same choice.
