Ive been looking for 6 months for a stand for an older 32 flat panel tv. This seemed the right choice, though it didnt occur to me at first to look at shoe cabinets. But this one is perfect as it is 13 deep to fit into my smaller guest room. The shelves of the cabinet hold an amplified antenna and smaller Blu/ray player. The distance between the shelves can store Blu/ray discs upright. The old tv concerned me in that it is 35 pounds. So far the cabinet appears to be stable enough to handle the weight adequately. The cabinet comes with two anti/tip restraint kits, which I will install if that proves to be a problem. Keep in mind the cabinet will arrive in two boxes, which may not both arrive the same day.
Assembling the unit was pretty straight forward with printed wordless diagrams. Some things didnt make sense to me, but I vowed to understand each step before screwing anything together. The small black door stops needed the holes drilled to a slightly larger size to be pounded gently with a hammer into the underside of the top. One end of the door stop is rounded for no apparent reason, they work fine when installed either way around. When installing the side walls to the base, if the holes are way too big for the long wood screws, turn the side walls end for end. All the finished edges should be face up. The plastic feet really needed small pilot holes, so I drilled them in the underside of the base, being careful not to drill too deep. When installing the back board, I wished that I had edged it with black or dark brown marker, because the light brown of the board will otherwise be visible from the sides and top. Touching that up afterward was fussy work. I did remember to drill 1/1/2 holes in the back board where I needed cords and wires to to exit for player, antenna, and power strip. I decided when I had the doors on, I was too tired to patiently adjust the door hinges to fit just right. Even starting fresh the next morning, it was no easy task. But I got through it, and its a really sharp looking cabinet. I like that the doors are designed with 3/4 air gaps between all the slats, I would assume to air out potentially stinky shoes.that also helps to keep the minimal electronics I put inside cooler. All in all, I would buy another product from this manufacturer. Its on par with Ikea.
This works for uses other than a shoe cabinet.
