This is a sturdy, decent looking, functional TV stand. Theres not a ton about it that leaps out. Id say the build quality of the parts is probably a little better than I expected for the price, but beyond that its a build/it/yourself TV stand. You put a TV on it, put components in the cubbies, and it works.
Assembly itself isnt terribly difficult, although Id suggest making it a two/man jobI put mine together myself, and there were a couple of spots that would have gone a lot faster and easier with a second set of hands to hold big pieces while I attached smaller ones. That said, I did eventually get it together myself. The instructions are serviceable, but the order of the steps means you spend the first half of things feeling like youre making little progress until it all comes together at the end.
I will note that the included screws strip very, very easilyto the point that Id usually end up partially stripping them while screwing them in as there seemed to be a pretty narrow window between force required to tighten and too much forceand I initially thought I was in trouble when a screw went in at a slight angle and immediately strippedbut they do include a spare parts bag with some spare screws, so it wasnt a real problem.
It holds my TV up fine; the cubbies are fairly large to the point that most home theater components should fit, and the cable openings in the back are large enough there shouldnt be issues routing any plugs around. The packaging job was good, with multiple pieces of wood or particle board included just for packaging, labeled as such, helping keep contents fairly stable during transit.
Overall, I consider this fairly good value for money and would likely give the brand a first look on my future furniture purchases since it really does feel pretty solid for the money.
Nothing remarkable, but a fairly solid TV stand.
