Its a good looking TV stand with a cool looking and functional electric fireplace, but it is riddled with quality control issues. It came out of the box with scratches all over. Some of them are deep scratches that are notable on the exterior. This is not shipping damage as it is came very well covered with styrofoam. This is damage that was done at the factory. Also during assembly, one of the pieces of the joints broke as you can see in the last picture. The material is fragile, it was not being aggressively handled. I had to use gorilla glue for wood to fix this. Thats another thing, they provide you with a laughably small amount of glue for the job. I was about 1/8th of the way done with the sections that needed glue before I ran out and I wasnt using obscene amounts of it, just enough to ensure a good seal. Get glue in advanced. Lastly, the vinyl finish gives off a black dye. My hands got fairly dark during assembly handling the pieces. I would suggest wiping it down thoroughly, which is something they should have done before making its way to me, but that again goes back to quality issues. Overall, its a visually appealing stand hampered by obvious oversights.
Attractive but with serious flaws
