I love the fact the tv stand is mostly made up of real wood, so it's actually really sturdy! The instructions must have been pretty clear also since I didn't hear my husband complain about them. The only thing I didn't like was that the description on the item said this unit would fit up to a 60 inch TV. Well that's not entirely true. It might fit the base of the unit! I have a 49" and the base barely fits and the rest of the tv hangs over the tv stands which is NOT what I wanted!
