I am a 54-year-old woman who was pretty intimidated by the reviews regarding assembly. I have put together plenty of IKEA items without much difficulty. This item came packed well with Styrofoam. None of my pieces had chips or dings. I liked the instructions because I prefer images over text. All pieces lined up perfectly to the pre-drilled holes. I mean perfect. The one thing I did do was put the side panel inserts into position prior to putting the very front piece on. It worked out great doing that, that way I didn’t have to struggle to slide those panels into place later. It probably took me an hour to assemble, maybe a bit more because I am slow and meticulous. I really wanted to give this piece a try because they don’t make many small size corner TV stands. This was really the only one I could find in a smaller dimension. It is absolutely perfect for the space I need. Give it a try!

It Looks really nice and is made of great quality pieces. The size is smaller than I thought. It barley fits our 7.2 receiver but it's big enough to hide the wires from the receiver.

For the price, it's good. Lightweight and not too difficult to put together. Color is ok but is a thin surface layer so scratching could be an issue if you have pets or children. I highly suggest using an electric screwdriver but be sure not to tighten too much as the material will split easy. There were a couple of dings from shipping but wasn't visible after completing. The lip on the under portion of the top piece had a small crack as well but isn't visible and isn't a piece that receives weight pressure so I decided to keep as is. For the price point it's comparable in quality to other pieces. I find people sometimes have expectations that exceed what can logically be expected from furniture in this range. Overall I'm happy with the purchase.

I don't have any major complaints about this TV stand. A corner TV stand like this works great for my living room because it's a small space.I put it together by myself in about 40 minutes. I'd give it a medium level difficulty for assembly. I felt like the instructions were pretty clear but they were all pictures so if it's easier for you to have written instructions as well then it might be harder. The pieces do not all fit together perfectly (or if they do, it's nearly impossible to get them that way, especially putting it together by yourself). With that being said, though, unless you were to get down on the floor and really look closely you can't tell.I put a 32 inch TV on top. Definitely couldn't fit anything bigger but I feel like a 32 inch is the perfect size.This TV stand is not perfect, but for the low price I think it's a pretty good deal and I'm satisfied overall.

OMGoodness! Ok - how bad can it be, I asked myself. Well, I found out. It looks innocent enough - flatish box arrived. I took it out, laid out screws, pieces, etc. One of the sides of this triangle has a circular cutout - or is supposed to. YOU have to punch it out. Without being a black belt in a martial art - good luck with that. I finally managed to punch it out, but it took a towel wrapped around my hand to protect my knuckles and some real force. Ok, got through THAT. Now, unless you are an octopus or squid - the rest is a bit precarious. The holes don't line up - not even close. Out came the drill. Had to put the holes in the right place - and two of the pieces have angles that require the screw to be inserted at an angle. Again -good luck with that. The side pieces that are supposed to slide into place do not slide. They came warped. That was fun - said no one ever. Took 20 minutes to "slide" these things into their slots. It's also not as tall as I expected. My fault - I didn't measure it - but for a corner unit for a TV, it isn't nearly tall enough unless you are in a beanbag on the floor. I will keep it - as I can use it in another room later - but I highly caution you in purchasing this unit. I'm going to be on a solid regiment of ibuprofen for a week to manage the back pain caused by contorting myself while putting this thing together. Took almost an hour and a half! Should've been about a 15 minute job! I assembled an entire china cabinet in less time with 4 times as many pieces!!!!Read more

A bit pricey for what it is. On par with some of the more cheaply made stuff you can find at Wal-Mart. Assembly was fairly easy, but took some bending of the side pieces to get them slotted. As with all furniture requiring assembly, a driver set to a low torque setting is advisable. Using a hand screw driver will take you a while. DO use a #1 Phillips bit as the screw heads are small. A #2 (standard) Phillips will put you at risk of stripping screws. Looks decent when assembled, but if I had it to do over again, I probably wouldn't.

if you enjoy headaches, frustration, and violent urge to smash things then I cannot recommend this piece enough. my friend and I each have plenty of experience with "some assembly required" and this was like the PhD level of challenging. the directions are only pictures with no explanations and we spent at least 20 minutes just trying to understand what they wanted us to do. it was like putting together a giant lego castle with no clear idea which pieces are the top or the bottom. the side pieces, made of cardboard, were too bowed and warped to fit into the slots they were supposed to and we finally gave up on those because trying to get them to fit in was pushing the rest of the parts out of whack. the front drawer is warped at both top corners. after 45 minutes I was begging my friend to please let me just throw it out, but after that much time investment he was determined to finish. so after an hour and a quarter we and an "assembled" piece of "furniture" with no sides and a warped front. so ugly that it went in the guest bedroom where I don't have to look at or be reminded of how frustrating it was to put together. seriously, if you hate your life and want to have a miserable day, then order this honking pile of garbage right away!
