My wife and I were looking to replace the antique steamer trunk that was holding our television. We searched through many t.v. stands on and landed on this stand because of the positive reviews and great price point. We received the stand and assembled it in about two and one half hours. The instructions were clear and easy to follow. The box even contained extra parts in case anything was left out at the factory, nothing was left out! The assembly went smoothly with the recommended two people handling the assembly. The stand came with glue, but we opted to use some Tite/bond wood blue that we had on hand.
Just a couple of quick assembly notes: Make sure to install the magnetic door catches before installing the top of the unit. It will make it so much easier. Make sure to attach the hinges to the doors first, before attaching them to the cabinet. As you attach the hinges to the cabinet keep a close watch on the door spacing. There are some pre/drilled holes for the hinges, but you will want to make sure that the door spacing is even on all four sides of each door for easy opening and closing. It may necessitate installing the hinges screws slightly out of the pre/drilled pilot holes.
We are very pleased with the end result. The stand is very sturdy. There is plenty of shelving available in the stand. The cut/outs on the back of the unit are large making it very easy to run cabling through them. We recommend this stand very highly. Our current television is only 43 but we are sure that this stand will accommodate a 65 television very easily, both the size and the weight.
Nice, Sturdy T.V. Stand
