I removed all the hardware and put the screws up for safe keeping. I sanded down all the pieces. I wasn't going for a perfect finish, because I do like an aged look. I then did a darker spray primer and sanded all the pieces again. Primed. Sanded. Wiped. Then onto a spray of satin black. Sanded. Wiped. Painted. Okay, you get the point. After it was all done being painted, I sanded down the edges a bit to expose a touch of wood. I said I like he aged look, didn't I? After that, I added two coats of sealer to finish it off. I had painted the shelves I had cut along with the desk. This was added into the space where the chair goes to hold our stereo components. And that was it! Fits perfectly, in the finish we love for a LOT less than new! Here is the after.

What a great idea! I love how you used the space underneath where the chair would normally go to house your electronics.
WOW!! That tv stand looks amazing, you have a very good eye.

Great idea! And it turned out FABULOUS! : )
I have to admit...when I saw the original piece, I could not envision it as a t.v. stand. This looks awesome! Great job!
that looks awesome! i love the idea of turning a desk into a tv stand- very creative!
Gorgeous!
This looks GREAT. I never would have thought to do that. Great use of space with adding the shelf in the empty space.
That is such a great idea and it turned out SO good. I love when TV stands aren't ugly since they usually are!! If you are interested, I would love you to post this on my Favorite Things Friday party!

What a great idea! I love that you just filled in the middle and the paint looks great!
This is amazing! I went to a yard sale this weekend and bought an old desk and told my brother I was going to put shelves in the middle and make a TV stand! WOW! I thought my idea was original??? I guess great minds think alike! Great work! Now I know that my vision was on point!!
Your t.v. stand turned out fabulous! And how perfect that everything fit! Thanks for sharing at our Anything Related party!

I see those all the time in thrift stores and never did I think to turn one into a TV table. Brilliant!
Impressive! Love how you turned a regular piece of furniture into something brand new.
