It's nice as long as you look at the finish from a distance, so yeah, that's not a problem since it is across the room under the TV. Good value overall.Our kid moved out into an apartment for college. We were looking for something that looked nice but didn't break the bank. For the price, it's perfect. For 19 year old's, it's perfect. It's not very sturdy but it does the job. Putting it together wasn't too difficult.This looks nice, is easy to assembe and works well.Was easy enough to assemble. My girlfriend put it together while I worked on something else. It didn’t take her long and we love how it came out.Looks great and wasn't too bad to put together. Sturdy material, seems like it will last a while.Good value for priceVery good visual instructions. Easy to follow. Took me about 2 1/2 hours but I was deliberate and took my time. One person can do this (and I'm old).I generally shy away from products made in China but based on mostly positive reviews I took a chance and ordered and assembled this media console. My midnight black, 58 inch console shipped to me in a few days and was well packaged in a strong, heavy duty, well padded box. Following the supplied installation instructions manual, I assembled the product with no issues and all pieces were well engineered and nicely fit together. Even though it is constructed of a high grade MDF pressed wood, after assembly it seems very sturdy, looks nice and will accommodate my media components.
