I ordered this as a lightning deal and I cant believe the bargain I got. The cabinet is sturdy and pretty. Id definitely recommend but Im not sure Id pay the full price for it. It was fairly easy to put together and even came with extra parts.
First off, lets be honest; this is flat pack furniture and you will have to put it together. We bought this so we could place our receiver and turn table into the unit, thus keeping the top spartan and clean. The box when it arrived was quite heavy. This is due to the particle board it is made of. Once I hauled it into my house, I set about putting it together, I Soon I realized this was better a project for two, and enlisted the help of my wife.
My wife is type A and I am, well I am not. Im the kind of guy who always has extra fasteners left over when the job is done. No really, I have an old glass jar of wayward fasteners that likely were intended to be in furniture Ive built over the years. Anyway after the better part of an hour we had this monstrosity assembled, and oh what a beauty. Shure it wasnt made of wood, not in the traditional sense, and some of the finishes were a bit, what shall I say, cheap but there it stood, white giant and ready for use.
I got down to rerouting my home theater with the hopes of putting the receiver inside the cabinet, indeed that is why I bought it. Alas, the shelf depth was about two inches short, so my Denon 7.1 receiver would intfact not go inside. Neither would my turntable. In fact this stand failed to do anything I bought it for, with the exception of holding my albums. I should clarify my record albums, not photo albums, which it would hold if I had any. Now before you go on about the antiquated record albums, one just cant get the warmth and life of older music from CDs or mp3s, something to do with the difficulty of encoding albums to digital, but I digress.
So for several years weve had this TV stand with its barn door styling, which is very trendy now, but I imagine will define the 20s much like octagonal side tables did the 1970s. Yikes. Our center shelf houses a blu/ray player and two storage boxes. As for the top, it is populated by the receiver, turn table and the HTPC laptop. In the end, this stand solved nothing. But it has a barn door look, if you are into that sort of thing.
The wood quality is good and the furniture is as described. The sliding doors work very well. my teenage son was able to put this together in about 90 minutes. The instructions are good but the pictures were a little difficult to follow. It was supposed to come with 30 dowels but only had 3 so spent 10 on a set and additional wood glue at Home Depot.
All the reviews are correct: the assembly is very time consuming! The instructions stink. I tried to find online advice, but I could find no video. There were two parts missing / the feet. I hope the manufacturer will mail them to me. Its attractive once assembled. Also, Im very surprised the pieces werent damaged because the box was all beat up when delivered. The manufacturer needs to package this product better and provide better assembly instructions.
I absolutely love this finalized. However, any assembly product from 9 times of our 10 does not go together easy. Instructions are not always easy to follow, parts may need trimmed, etc. just be weary, but it is beautiful in the end.
For fake wood this is great quality. Ive never owned a piece of furniture thats fake wood that was of such high quality. Very sturdy and easy to assemble
Absolutely love this cabinet, its fitted with a 75 in flat screen accommodates very well. Absolutely would buy again, fit every need and the finish look is aming. Highly recommend / took my time assembling just a few hours going slow but was so worth it
Loved the look it gave my living room! It was pretty heavy to get into the house, lol, but although the box was slightly beat up the product itself wasnt damaged! Pretty sturdy, instructions are fairly easy to follow.
great piece of furniture, looks much more expensive than it is. Just take your time and pay attention to instructions, pay attention to the next page after the one you just finished, the view may be reversed. Customer service is aming, we(my wife)lol accidentally broke 8 piece, they sent us a replacement at no charge! Who else would do that?
