Mopio Brooklyn Mid-Century Modern 57" TV Stand for TVs up to 59”, Waveform Panel, Sturdy Legs (Oak)

This is the first piece of expensive furniture besides my couch that I have ever owned. It was 100% worth the price. The quality is excellent and the color and style is beautiful! This took me about 6 hours to build, but that's because I was building it by myself while caring for my baby simultaneously. I'd imagine it would take half that time if not less if 2 people were building it! The cabinet doors were a little hard to understand adjustment wise at first so just make sure to read the instructions thoroughly when you get to that part!

Well, I had no idea what I was getting into with this stand. I think this brand (Mopio) is trying to rival IKEA—the product comes completely unassembled, and there is a whole lot of assembly involved. The instruction manual was very confusing at times for me—so many details in each picture! I started out with my husband helping to build it, but he lost patience with the manual and said it was on me or he would go crazy. So I decided to check out the website and they have a demo video of one being built. Thank goodness! I followed that, but I will say it was still quite challenging & time consuming. I persevered, though, and after about 5 hours, I finally had a tv stand! It does look nice. The color is a deep brown and the design is really cute. I just have to recover from the building process before I can fully appreciate it. If you buy this, definitely check out the website (mopio.com) and use the video as a guide. I think it's much more helpful than the manual. Also, an electric screwdriver would be a lifesaver—I, unfortunately, don't have one. Though the end result is a nice enough tv stand, the time and effort building it made it something I wouldn't recommend to others unless you just love assembling furniture.
