When we originally received this, the package looked good. As we pulled the pieces out, we realized there was a lot of damage and it wasnt able to be assembled. We were able to get a replacement sent out and it came quickly and less damaged. I wouldnt say it was 100 not damaged, but it was limited to one small piece that was easy to put together with a bit of wood glue and some time to dry.
Assembly: The actual assembly was easy for me, given I have a good background as a mechanic. Reading instructions come easy to me. I did a little more than was needed, adding wood glue to the holes the dowels went in to make it stronger. It does come with everything that is needed. The instructions had a section that had white out on it, that was difficult to get at first, but quickly realized it wasnt needed. It took about a good 2 hours to put together, but that included the time it took to put wood glue on any everything.
The finished product: It looks wonderful. The top is large and sturdy enough to hold quite a bit. The doors are very effortless to move. It is an aming addition to our home.
Customer Service: Having some issues with damaged pieces, customer service went above and beyond to ensure we got the pieces corrected and could have a functional TV stand. My interactions with customer service have nothing to do with my review though and providing 4 stars. If it werent for the packaging, this would be a 5 star review, but they do need some work on ensuring the pieces dont get damaged during shipment. It is difficult since it does weigh 100 pounds, but I imagine a little bit more padding would help prevent damage.
This really is a gorgeous piece to add to any home and even someone with minimal assembly experience will be able to put it together effortlessly. We are able to hold books, pictures, pottery, and various other trinkets with ease. looks nice
Great for the price
