My wife is happy and I’m tired.
By D. Edwards
I purchased this for my wife to replace my ugly bachelor style MDF/cinder Block “entertainment” unit. I was very happy with the price, and more than impressed with the packaging to prevent harm for the duration of delivery. Be ready to have somebody aid you move it into your home as it is fabulously heavy for one person. I had to flip it end over end to walk it through my front door (this is not the commended routine in case you are wondering). If you have stairs, set up your chiropractor appointment first. From that point I opened the box and took out all 5 million parts. I opened the directions and got started. There is not one thing elaborated when it comes to assembly, but set isolated an easy 3-5 hours to work on it. Having built a great deal of of these “type” of respective units, I now prefer to take my time and double check everything before I get half way through a project and have to begin over. I suggest the same. Almost each piece on this unit requires that you glue a lot of wooden pegs for support. While I like this from a construction standpoint, I’d be lying if I said it did not take me a while to finish it.

Very solid TV stand
By ajfjc
Yesterday and today (about 3 hours total, even with my 5 yr old “helping” me) I accumulated this TV stand, and I’m very happy with it overall. Delivery from Amazon was rapidly and without delay than promised, and there was no harm to the unit when it arrived.
Positives: 1. Very solid construction. This unit is very heavy in the box, but once it’s accumulated it is very sturdy. In addition to the four corner legs, there is a 5th leg in the center of the unit. As a former review states, the back is solid rather of cardboard. 2. Very nice design – looks like a good piece of furniture once assembled. 3. Quality product. Everything lined up utterly for the duration of assembly, and the two glass doors and top center drawer appear to be square to the eye and no “rubbing” of doors as they open and close. 4. The unit is packaged very well, minimizing the likelihood of harm in transit (and when you struggle to get it where you want it in your house).
Some drawbacks: 1. Although my Time Warner DVR Cable Box fits on one of the shelves behind the glass door just fine, my Onkyo receiver is a very tight fit. I had to remove the other glass door to get it into the cabinet, then reinstall the door. 2. The air circulation in the cabinets behind the glass doors is poor – it gets very warm in there with your AV elements running. Still, there is an opening around the glass doors that lets a good deal of cold air in as the hot air rises and escapes out of the top cable holes in the back of the stand. 3. Costs $60 more than what appears to be the identical TV stand in a light Cherry finish (Sonoma collection).
Note that the center shelves and drawer are not very wide, you won’t be putting any AV elements or speakers in that space – it’s for remotes, magazines, CDs, DVDs, etc.
Overall a very good TV stand. A nice value – better than the for less stands out there but not as pricey as a “real” piece of pricey furniture.
