I looked around to find something that would match my TV cabinet, and this was the closest I could find that was not absurdly expensive. It also got good reviews as well.Instructions: Like most manually assembled products, they are graphically based. They don't mention important factors. I will explain this shortly.Color: It is not as black as the picture looks. It is a very dark brown. Close enough for me, but if you are looking for a 100% match, you're going to have to go to a brick and mortar company.Assembly: I put together a TV stand/cabinet before assembling this. The stand took me 6-7 hours to do alone. One piece I put in backwards, and didn't realize it until it was too late. A lot of the assembly for the stand used dowels which needed to be glued. Once I realized that I put a piece in backwards, they almost certainly would have been stuck. So I really couldn't do much about it. On top of that, the glass door needed a drilled hole to fit. Thankfully, I was able to drill one myself, and aligned it enough to where it worked.Anyhow, assembling this did require 4 dowels. However, they did not need to be glued(at least no glue came with the product and was not mentioned in the instructions). This took me a little bit over an hour to put together. It would have been shorter, but I put the base shelf backwards, and didn't realize this until I was trying to put on the top. Fortunately, because no glue was used for the 4 dowels, disassembling it took only a few minutes to reverse it. The only part that was a pain, was the last step(putting on the top). Even after realizing my mistake, It took 5-10 minutes or so getting the back to setting into the ridge. Besides those two setbacks, it was simple. I have a lot of information books on it, and it still is very sturdy.It is well worth the price, and assembling yourself.
