A very well designed and surprisingly upscale looking cabinet. Forget any negative reviews you mightve read. If youve done any assemble it yourself furniture before , you will breeze through this, its just not that hard. The instructions dont have a lot of words, they mostly rely on illustrations, just pay attention to the part numbers and orientation of the panels as they are going together and you wont have any issues. At one point there are some wooden dowels that guide some of the panels together, there is some provided glue, but its pretty poor, if you have some quality wood glue, I would recommend it. The packing is extraordinarily good! The box is heavy duty, the entire perimeter of the box has wood reinforcements to protect the cabinet. It also has thick styrofoam panels for cushioning inside. My cabinet arrived in perfect condition. The legs are another high point, no flimsy legs here, they are steel, welded to steel mounting plates, they also put a couple of legs in the center of the cabinet for support. Some of the long low cabinets have been known to sag in the middle , over time. Dont just take my word for it, look at the photos I took, for reference that is a 55 TV sitting on it. One more little detail, its obviously particle board with a veneer, the veneer looks great by the way, but as is typical the edges have veneer strips glued on, and a couple of the corners had sharp edges that were easy to catch on. Simply take a file or sandpaper, a nail file, whatever and round that edge off and it wont be an issue. Its a very nice looking cabinet, highly recommended.
Great looking cabinet that is value priced
