LOVE THIS SO MUCH. assembly was confusing at first. there were a few pieces I didnt end up using because I couldnt find where they went but it worked just fine without. They were just for stabilizing the back boards. I thought the legs would be flimsy but they are very heavy duty metal. great storage and customizable shelves are great. We had a 55 inch tv on it and it left enlugh room for decor on the sides but we upgraded to a 65 inch and it still has room and doesnt look too big or overcrowded. Def one of my fav items from .
It was one of the easiest TV stands I put together. The door hing was the hardest. I suggest while it's apart to screw in the nails them take them back out. Once you get to it you won't be so hard to screw in.
I had read some of the negative reviews which mentioned receiving damaged pieces and was a little nervous that I might have a similar experience. As insurance, I used my phone to record the entire unpacking process to document any damage and show how everything was packed in case I needed to repack it for return. I needn't have worried. Everything in the box was in perfect condition.
I had the package delivered into my garage and unpacked it there. As I unpacked it, I carried each piece from the garage to my bedroom where it was to be assembled. All were unblemished. I compared the parts present against the list in the instruction booklet and all pieces were present and accounted for. Just in case, the manufacturer includes a package of extra fasteners, etc. in case any were missing or defective. I didn't have to open that package as I had everything I needed.
All in all the instructions were clear and pretty straightforward. The only time I had trouble orienting a part was the magnetic door stops — one of the first parts attached. Common sense told me I should mount them with the bare magnet pointing outward but, to me, the drawing in the instructions appeared to show it pointing inward. I decided to follow what I thought the directions were telling me to do — that was a mistake. When I mounted the doors (one of the last steps) it became clear the bare magnet needed to face outward, toward the door. It was pretty simple to switch its orientation.
Almost everything is fastened together with Phillips-head screws of various sizes. I had some difficulty finding screwdrivers to fit — all except the very smallest Craftsman-type screwdriver I had was too large. I used a Phillips-head screwdriver from a set of precision (miniature) screwdrivers I use when working on my computer. I had to be very careful — I didn't strip any heads but I came close a couple of times. Particle board can be surprisingly hard to screw into. I had to be careful with the smaller screws to make sure they went in straight. They sometimes wanted to tip to one side or another.
The holes for the shelf supports for the glass shelf were rather tight. I could put one in with my bare hands but the other three required some gentle tapping with a hammer. Not a big deal but I dread to think about removing them if I want the glass shelf at a different height.
Full disclosure… I'm 74 years old and arthritic and don't have the stamina I once had. Working alone it took me a span of 2 days to complete the assembly of the cabinet. When my body told me we were done for the day I listened to it! Someone younger or with an assistant could do it much quicker — probably within a 2-3 hour period. If you read the directions carefully and take your time, you should be able to successfully assemble this cabinet.
The results are worth it. It looks like a much more expensive piece of furniture than it is. It's sturdy and attractive and I expect to get years of service from it. It blends well with the Danish Modern bedroom furniture I've had for years.
I am passionate about design, quality, ease of assembly and size.
I have a 65 inch television and I wanted to find a TV Stand that was a good size for the size of my TV because most of what I found was too small, this product exceeded all my expectations!
I just got my first apartment this week and have spent the past couple days building furniture. Bed frame, dresser, nightstands, you name it. This was up and away the most difficult. The pictures in the instructions weren't the clearest (or the instructions themselves), and there was some trial and error involved, mainly when installing the doors. The hardware kit had a MILLION different things in it, so much so that if you can assemble this, you can put it on your resume when you apply to build NASA's spaceships.
The material also scratches easily. We (yeah, this required help to assemble, unlike everything else) managed to put a gash on the top wood piece during assembly, despite our best efforts to be gentle. Granted, this is particle board, but for the price I guess I expected more durability. I lucked out though as the leg on my TV goes right over it! If you aren't so lucky and happen to scrape yours, the material is dark enough that you could probably just trace the scrape with a black or brown marker and no one would notice.
That aside, after assembly this thing is pretty solid and looks great. Despite the complex assembly and easily scratchable wood, I'd still recommend this. Just take your time, be diligent and gentle during assembly.
Love love love love love just buy it! Had my eye on this for over a year! They sell it everywhere but had the best price! Great purchase and came early!

Fits my 75inch perfectly.
Sturdy, fairly easy to assemble with 2 people. Great color and style. Holds up my 7inch pretty good.
Easy assembly

Good design and easy to assemble
Good product for price
So far I'm delighted

Love it - worth the assembly pain
It was definitely a couple of hours for my husband to put it together, but I love the look!
Pretty but uneven
The prices were in even and the door didnt fit right because of it
