Putting the stand together was not difficult, but I would recommend that you get familiar with the plans and different parts before you begin. By the way, remotes work through the ribbed glass! I was in no hurry to complete the project, so I was in no hurry to get it done. To me, the glass doors were the hardest thing to deal with. Getting them to be even, straight and aligned with other parts took some effort and resulted in a little frustration, but I was able to get the doors satisfactorily lined up. My biggest concern is that the veneer is so paper thin, and was chipped or peeling slightly in a few places out of the box. Mind you, it wasn't a huge issue, but I am concerned that when dusting, the cloth will catch some of the rough edges and pull the veneer off. Hopefully, it won't happen though. Also, one of the fasteners first bent and then broke and they don't give you any extras. I'm quite sure Bush would have gladly replaced the part by mail. Fortunately, my old Bush television stand had similar fasteners, so I could use one from it since it was being replaced with the new stand. I really loved my old Bush stand, and hope the new one will last as well. 0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Good value and quality, but can be improved By Scott Hewitt Once assembled, this TV stand is attractive and sturdy. At $200 +/- it's also a good value. Much better quality than say a typical IKEA piece, but assembly is more difficult. Assembly should be done by two people. It can be done by one person (I did it), but next time I'll have someone help. The top is very heavy (which is good - it's solid), and you have to align holes in the top with wood dowels in cross braces that want to "spin" while you are aligning them. This leads to the next improvement - the wood dowels are not press fit, push in too far and easily fall out. The kit includes a bottle of glue, but glue (which is messy) would not be necessary if the parts were better-designed. The wood dowels should be press fit (tap with a hammer) and require no glue. Alignment of the doors to get them level with each other and to get uniform gaps around and between the doors is a bit of a trick. That step alone took me almost 15 minutes. There is a shelf behind each door. The shelf support pin holes were not present in one of the sides. They were there, but coverd with the vinyl. This is a quality-control issue. All that said, I would definitely buy another one. In fact, when I'm done with this review I will order one for my father-in-law who saw mine and liked it. He doesn't know it yet, but he's going to help me build the next one! See all 2 customer reviews...
