This unit came with a few scrathches on the top that are pretty noticeable but theres no way Im going to try and rebox this. The unit went together well and all the hardware was included, you will need a phillips head screwdriver of your own to assemble. Other than the blemishes the unit is fairly attractive and quite sturdy.
I was happy that the package arrived a week ahead of schedule. The table was well packed no damage to the box. I hope the delivery man had help as it was very heavy! We are very satisfied with the table, not cheap manufactured wood that crumbles. The corner stand added an extra 6 inches to our floor space. Assembly took about 2 hours, but we had a 5 year old assistant! Instructions were easy to follow.
I read a lot of the reviews before buying this TV stand and was a little concerned about the packaging, however that was not necessary. It came in perfect condition; only a small scuff on the cardboard box but not a scratch on the pieces of the stand. It took a while to put it together, but being a puzzle person I enjoyed it. I loved seeing this beautiful piece of furniture come together. It is worth every penny plus. I love the beveled glass in the doors. It is sturdy and will last a life time. I am very happy I made this purchase.
I had been searching for weeks for the perfect corner TV stand...one that was within my price range but didnt look cheap. I finally saw this unit and liked the looks of it online. I saw many others that I liked that were either too expensive, not big enough or too big. I finally decided on this model and within 24 hours it was sitting on my front porch (I didnt pay for overnight...just went with the standard 3-5 business days shipping). Anyway, put it together in about an hour and I have to say that I like it soooo much more than I thought. This unit was easy to put together and it looks like I paid more than $150 for it.
I dont normally write reviews, but this one just had to be done. First, let me tell you that I too searched Target, IKEA, etc. for a piece like this and couldnt find anything... plus IKEA took a lot of their tv stands off the market for some reason. I purchased this piece from a site that has free shipping on ezbuyfurniture.com. The site looks sketchy, but it is 100% legit. The package (~68 lbs.) arrived in exactly 5 business days.
PROS:
I have a 46 Samsung LED tv and it looks great on this stand!
Inexpensive price, but furniture is surprisingly sturdy
Stand is relatively slim, but not too slim
top shelf meant for two side-by-side boxes (i.e. Blu-ray player on left, cable box on right) with large hole for cables.
someone on another site said this thing was very hard to put together, NOT TRUE! This piece was easy to put together, instructions were all pictures, wood labeled numerically, and hardware labeled alphabetically.
all you need is a screw driver and damp cloth to wipe away excess glue (glue comes with kit)
CONS/Things I was not expecting:
-bottom shelf definitely meant for DVDs, VHS, anything thats not meant to be plugged in... unless you want to make another hole.
-my cable box just barely fits w/ door closed. I have a DirectTV box, but a box like Comcast or Verizon might not fit
-handles on doors are plastic and NOT metal, but they still look good.
Another reviewer recommended checking dimensions of components to make sure they would fit. I thought that was good advice, so I did. My DVR is 14 inches deep and the description lists the depth dimension as 16 inches. Based on that, I ordered the cabinet.
Turns out that 16 inch depth is the outside top surface of the cabinet, but the shelf the component sits on is only 12 inches. My DVR would not fit, so I cut a hole in the rear panel. Not really a big deal if you have the saw to make the cut.
Other than that, this is a good cabinet. Not real wood, but I expected that. It is easy to assemble, and unlike some other cabinets reviewed here on , the directions are excellent.
It was missing one small part, so I called the company for a replacement. Surprise!! I didnt get put into voice mail jail, the person I spoke with was helpful, and the part arrived in a few days.
The only reason I didnt give it five stars were the misleading dimensions, and there wasnt enough glue included. No problem for me as I already had some wood glue, but if you buy this cabinet, I suggest you purchase some cheap Elmers Wood Glue before starting.
Unlike a lot of put it together yourself furniture, the materials in here are heavy and pretty darned solid! Im happy with what I received, it did take some time to put it together but it wasnt difficult at all. I wish it was a little deeper than it is, I had to leave the doors off so that my combination VCR/DVD/Blueray player would fit on the shelf (it hangs over just a bit and the doors wouldnt close) but thats my fault for not checking the depth of the shelves. Holds my 42 plasma TV just fine though, very happy with it.
Solid TV console upon completion which took about 2 hours to assemble. We have a 40 TV and it fit perfectly. The console is not very wide, but that was an added bonus to our petite living room. Also, the bottom shelf is split in the middle, and the top shelf is all one piece. Some people complained about the depth of the shelves, but our equipment fit fine. Just call to get exact dimensions from them prior to purchase if you are concerned (which is what we did).
The cabinet was packaged extremely well. Directions were very easily read. I was able to put the cabinet together with ease and by myself. Total time was about 90 minutes. Now the major issue and my only issue is the depth of the cabinet and the accessibility for the cords in the back. Make sure that you measure your components. If it were 4 inches wider it would be perfect. Having to drill an extra hole was not a big deal at all. Very sturdy. Very Clean Look.... Worth the money.
