This solid cherry TV stand is both beautiful and sturdy. Constructed using traditional furniture joinery, including hand cut dovetailed stretchers, solid wood ship lapped backing, and a separate base that allows the various parts’ wood grain to expand and contract with seasonal humidity changes without cracking, this piece is built for longevity – as are all my pieces.
