Not perfect, but surprisingly nice especially factoring in the price
The unit arrived in 9.8 out of 10 cosmetic condition. A center brace piece was not put in my box so I had to call their customer service. The customer service was extremely fast and easy to reach and promptly took care of sending the missing brace to me. The hardware was top notch and instructions were super easy to follow. Only a screwdriver and a hammer were required for assembly. Assembly took approximately 40 minutes. The only things that I consider to be wrong with this unit are fixable with a little bit more lumber, some glue, and some additional screws. What I think is wrong is that for my use, it needs additional strength added to the very top board where the TV will sit. The TV and stand that I am mounting on top of this console added together weigh 75 lbs. The top board, being made of 5/8 thick particle board and spanning 46 with one center brace under the middle will allow too much sag and warping down the road. So I will add solid wood ( not particle board ) braces where more strength is needed. I will have to paint the boards black to match as well.
Hopefully, I can update this posting in the future to add photos of my mods. That way if some others are interested they can see how to modify theirs for additional strength as well. I would have given the console unit 5 stars if they had the strength already built into it. But, since their low price, ease of assembly, and customer service are all top notch, they should receive 4.8 stars from me.
