Very happy with this piece of furniture. Extremely easy to put together and looks wonderful. Everything lines up perfectly, not door misalignment or anything. Highly recommended.
The shipping was cry fast owing to the DC it came from being less than four hours from my house. Once it was received it sat in my office for a while but I finally got this put together. A few things were upsetting. First, the pre/drilled holes were not fitted to the appropriate screws that were sent; many of them had to be carefully drilled out with hand tools just so the screws would fit without shattering the wood. Second, 1/2 of the dowels were split down the middle lengthwise, a few shattered when trying to glue them into place. The third and probably biggest drawback is the of the paint. It scuffs, scratches, flakes, scrapes, and cracks with the smallest amount of pressure. All Ive done to this thing so far is put a tablet power cable on it and it is already chipped at the edges of the top. Gently hand/screwing in the cam screws made the paint/ around the pre/drilled holes crack and flake off. If youre just going to repaint/ this thing in the near future it wont be a problem. The unit I bought was white, maybe the more natural es dont have this issue. Not really too happy but also not a return/able offense, especially given the overall size and weight of this thing (its quite hefty.)
I had an exceptional handy man who usually does commercial work assemble this. He replaced several of the hardware pieces with his own hardware. He took quite some type to assemble it. He said it is well made compared to most diy assembly furniture. He said it is not something that the average person should expect to put together easily. I am using it as a in my kitchen and it looks lovely. I did change the knobs to make it look more contemporary.
I never would have been able to put it together on my own. It has hundreds of pieces / I think they should let buyers know that. It would be helpful to include a link to the assembly instructions so that buyers know what to expect prior to making the purchase.
Great piece of furniture / especially for the price. I was a little concerned about everything being delivered intact after reading some other reviews, but everything was delivered on time and in good shape. It is delivered in huge box with a ton of pieces. Takes a few hours to assemble. Nothing too complicated or labor intensive. I changed the hardware, but other than that, we love it. Would definitely recommend.
3.5 hours install time while watching TV
Product looks great
Sturdy
Instructions were clear and easy to follow
As of now we would purchase this again.
Ordered the white console on Jan 2 2017 and received it on Jan 9 via UPS. The box looked to be in pretty rough shape with some gauges and other such marks. That does not surprise me since it is a heavy and big box. I was happy that when I opened it, the packing did its job and the item was not damaged. The instructions that were included with mine had 2 pieces marked that did not match the instructions, as well as it did not provide the instructions on inserting the glass on the doors. I was able to figure it out quite easily. I also later found out the manufacture website had PDF instructions and this lined up perfectly and included the missing steps. While watching TV, I spent about 3.5 hours total in assembling the item. Pieces went together as they should and the items seems to be of good quality.
I love this console / did take a few hours to assemble (many pieces and hardware), but easy to follow instructions and looks great! I have a 60 TV on it and it looks great/proportional.

Really easy to assemble and the color in the picture is pretty accurate with what we ended up getting.
Okay, but sad paint

Very Nice.
Not as hard to put together as some reviews claim. My wife put this together during one World Series game with NO problems. Very nice sturdy piece.
