I'm pretty impressed with the TV stand, it looks really nice when assembled, and was pretty straightforward to put together. I really like that they include a little wood glue with the components, as well as a small selection of spare pieces (screws, dowels, etc) in case any parts are missing or get lost. The instructions were very easy to follow, the pieces all labelled correctly and clearly, and the glass shelf was packed very well inside the box.
My only real complaint is that the veneer is extremely thin and susceptible to scratching. I bumped the inside with the glass shelf while putting it in and it left a gouge in the finish that's easy to see through. I get that it's veneered flat pack furniture, I don't think I'm setting my expectations too high, but it scratched REALLY easily. Just something to be aware of if you're the type to have a lot going on, pets clawing at the wood, kids being kids, or even just decorative items that don't have rubber/felt type feet might leave marks.
All in all very happy with the furniture and the ease-of-scratchiness isn't too much of a concern for my usage!
