My TV stand came out absolutely perfectly, the second time I got one. For the first one, it was delivered by UPS and the policy in my building was they have to drop at door, on the third floor. Well, if you get one of these you will realize that without an elevator that's just cruel and unusual for one person, its an awkward and heavy package (~90lbs.). So, needless to say the first one was all cracked up when I opened it up, even after seeing the guy struggling and helping him get it up the last set of stairs. Returning was a PITA, since then I had to enlist a friend to help me get it to the nearest UPS.. But, I returned it with a pre-shipped replacement, specifically said it had to go to the front office, and when I picked it up from there it was totally unscathed. Assembly took a while, even with a decent tool set, but if you take your time the end result is absolutely worth it. Very nice looking and very sturdy! This piece really does have nice construction quality for a fiberboard piece. Also, if you are looking to put a center speaker on that shelf, the Klipsch R-34C fits PERFECTLY, like you will have to slowly ease it in like an iPhone box kind of fit, 26 exactly of width, and a 26 width speaker.
Excellent Product, When it Gets to You Unscathed
