We love it! It was easy to assemble and looks/feels fantastic!
I remember how excited we were to order this and then, when waiting for it to come, I read through countless reviews about the particle board or stability/bowing issues.
No, this is perfect. It came from the delivery truck with a couple of punctures in the box and I saw wooden boards right there where things were punctured and thought, crap! Thats our boards for the item! No, they actually package this with thick heavy foam and then thin veneer type boards to further protect it shipping. Instructions were awesome and very straightforward, there were even wood grain little stickers to place over every screw hole area that people might see so things look seamless. This is absolutely gorgeous and I would recommend it to anyone.
We did not have bowing issues and have a 65 on top of it. Now, if we were going to move it to another place we will certainly give it the white glove treatment, take everything off beforehand, be careful, but there is nothing about the construction of this that makes us feel it is the fault of the manufacturing or build. I suspect that some people might have either put it together wrong and then had to rewind and take out pieces and screw or wrench things in again in a similar spot to have those sorts of problems. It is beautiful and has added to our quality of enjoyment in our living room, and so am a paranoid person when it comes to these things, so I recommend taking the leap!
It is a great piece and worth the price.
