Beautiful / sturdy / assembly instruction needs a little improvement
The TV stand was delivered late but it wasn't the sender's fault. FedEx was the issue. I took 1 star off not because of the shipping problem but because of the assembly instruction.
The TV stand is beautiful and very sturdy. It has no problem to take on TV up to 65. It took me about 2 hours to finish the assembly. All I needed was a phillip screw driver. The assembly instruction itself was pretty simple and easy to follow. I didn't get stuck at all but I got to redo couple steps because the instruction didn't tell very well the front versus back of the TV stand (or at least I couldn't figure out from looking at the instruction).
Most if not all the pieces are symmetrical but you got to pay attention to the edges of the pieces. The edges facing front will have smooth surface. The ones facing back will have rough surface. When I assembled the unit, I didn't pay attention for front versus back until to a certain steps when I looked at the work I realized I have mix-matched surfaces. Structure wise, there wasn't an issue but aesthetic wise it was a big problem. I got to rework twice. This could be prevented in the instruction by warning the users of the front vs. back orientation when they positioned the pieces which were all symmetrical.
