Craftsmanship you can see is the whole point of the Parota TV stand. International Furniture Direct builds it from solid wood, with parota - a species native to Mexico and South America - across the top and mango wood on the fronts and sides. A clear lacquer coat lets the natural grain shine through, while butterfly joinery, mortise and tenon construction, and steel brackets promise long-lasting service. Middle doors glide on metal ball bearings and slide aside to reveal shelf storage, and drilled holes in back keep your cables organized. Handsome, hand-crafted, and built for the long haul.
