YEAH, NO, IM AFRAID I CANT POSSIBLY JOIN THE OTHERS IN GIVING THIS UNIT 4.5 STARS. SORRY!
The price is quite reasonable and the instructions and materials are all first-rate, but its important to understand that virtually the entire unit is constructed of ultra soft press-board. Only the legs are made of real hardwood, and when you start loading the top of this unit up with 70 LCD flat screen TVs like our Samsung, youre going to experiment some sag on the very top shelf. The lower shelves are no problem, because those components (e.g., DVD player, PlayStation/X-Box, stereo receiver, modem, router, etc.), are all rather lightweight. NOT a 70 TV. And as far as assembly goes, instructions were thorough and clear, but unless youre a magician and have somewhere else important to go, I would plan on 6-8 hours minimum.
