I was looking for a display that would show off all my limited edition consoles and controllers and this was exactly what I needed. I originally intended on buying a led bar and glueing it but I thought this would be a better fit. It does exactly what I wanted better than I expected.
Installation was just me, so if you are by yourself it is possible, but expect it to be a full morning/afternoon/evening working on it. Id recommend going extremely slow, its the type of installation where once you screw, or glue something incorrectly there isnt any going back. The pieces look similar so spread everything out and triple check each step. It wasnt hard at all, but I dont want to imagine the pain of how you fix an error, because the screw heads were usually incapable of unscrewing once you got it down.
I am using this more as a display case, but for those using it as a TV stand with electronics plugged in under, it seemed like that would be tough based on installation. The only opening to pass wires through are at the top, on the back of the stand. You probably could make it work on the glass top shelf, but on the bottom it seems tough. Its too sharp of an angle to have cords plugged in and not damage them. If you are purchasing to have everything plugged in, just be sure it will work for you.
Interesting side note: the glass is optional in the way you prefer which I hoped it would be and I love. I dont have glass in the front of mine, but it does come with it all the glass pieces to use however you please. You can do the sides with front glass, one side, or none. Same for the middle glass shelves, those are optional.
Perfect display case for a collector
