I open the box and one of the long panel was cracked. It was on the inside so I decided to assemble anyway. It would have been a pain to ship back. First off the directions were not bad. If you decide to do this, it will take some time. The easiest way is to assemble, is to separate all items into like groups. It makes it easier to find items. Pay close attention to the orientation of the smaller wood pieces. I made that mistake and had to remove a section to correct. If you use a drill, make sure you set the chuck to minimum. All and all it’s not bad and looks great once on the wall. As for mounting on the wall, I found the wall studs and predrilled the holes. I did not use any of the included mounting hardware except the bracket. I used 3” deck screws I already had. I did install the LED lights however I also installed a Govee LED so I can control via voice control. The broken panel did not affect the assembly and I didn’t want to go through the trouble of repacking and ship back. I added a few additional pictures with the Govee LED light strip behind the TV and the bottom of the shelf. Hopefully this helps.
Looks great once installed.
