It has tons of storage, looks nice and is fairly sturdy. The guys had a bit of difficulty putting it together and the magnets that hold the doors closed are extremely weak. Despite the minor problems I am happy with the product, particularly for the price.
Looks nice, works as expected.
A lot of the reviews comment on the assembly, so Ill focus on that as well.
I have a lot of experience assembling furniture. Did this by myself in a leisurely 3-1/2 hours while also doing the laundry. I messed up a couple of the door shelves, the unfinished edges were showing, so I had to break both down and reassemble them (said I had a lot of experience, didnt say I was any good at it). So the time included correcting my goof-up. Fortunately, the locking cams that hold the doors together are very forgiving. I just unscrewed the cams, flipped the shelves around and re-tightened the cams. All the parts fit together very well. Everything lined up nicely.
The cabinet and doors can be assembled in parallel, so if you have two people, that would cut down on the time considerably.
Theres nothing to hold the DVD cases onto the door shelves except friction, of which theres very little. So Im looking for some sort of high-friction liners that will keep the DVDs in place when the doors get opened too quickly.
When this finally arrived, I was a bit disappointed in the fact it had several minor blemishes that had to be repaired with the marker included for deluxing but fortunately all these spots were on the interio save one. In the product image above you cant see that both internal shelves have support dividers, which can be a problem for those using soundbars for audio, but thankfully the shape allows for narrow objects to be placed in front of it on that top interior shelf. Once assembled, and one person can do it, it looks fantastic. I do recommend having a rubber mallet on hand to help get some pieces into shape. It looks great, but as expected with black furniture, it is a dust magnet. Lastly, apparently this ships from Canada, and until two days before arriving I couldnt see an estimate for ship date. Still, its a great, solid media console that looks great in my living room.
Although this peice takes some time to put together, its not too complex to do. This peice has a TON of storage place for DVDs. Its exactly what we were looking for!
easy shipment didnt have any problems, it was very easy to set up but the instructions were a little bit difficult for me but if you follow the directions closely you will get it, my 52inch looks great on it lots of storage for me. i recommend this product to anyone who is looking for a modern style.
This stand shipped quickly and arrived in excellent condition. It took my husband and I about 1 1/2 hours to put together while watching tv. The only thing I really see wrong with it is theres only shelf room in the cabinet itself for 2 rows of dvds. I wish it was just a little taller so it could hold that 3rd shelf. Maybe 3 or 4 more inches would have done it. The way its set to be used is two shelves of cds and the bottom for dvds. Other than that, no problems! Its holds our 55in Vizio with no sagging. That 5th leg in the middle was a great idea by the makers. All of our media fits with room to spare. (We have a cable box, a surround sound system, a PS3, a PS2 and a Wii) Very much worth the money spent.
We odered this two days a go and to my surprise it came 4 days early. My wife and I built it in only an hour and a half. It looks great and has all the storage we need.We love it and is a great piece for what its worth.
This is a great looking piece of furniture and quite functional. It holds tons of DVDs and/or CDs. Be prepared for about 2 to 3 hours of assembly and an electric screwdriver is a big help, particularly if you have hex bits. It came together nicely though and was not difficult to assemble just time consuming due to so many parts. Its worth it though. Very clever design and I particularly like the back panels that slide open so that accessing wires etc. in the back of the a/v components is very simple and easy if any wiring changes need to be made or components added. Mine currently holds a surround sound system, satellite box, a/v receiver, Wii, 6-disk CD Changer, a Computer CPU and I put a 47 flat panel TV on top. This unit makes everything look sleek, clean and modern.

Almost Perfect

Starting to upgrade.

Form and function in perfect harmony.
