Some screws were all but impossible to get into place. Directions were somewhat clear, but there were some pages that required a bit of logic to understand. I would absolutely no build another one of these... though it does looks fairly nice once assembled.
Long story short it came with 2 missing legs for the middle of the console, one of the area to screw the legs in was missing the metal inserts for the screws, AND there was a random metal piece screwed into a spot where it should not be so I had to bash it out with a screwdriver and hammer ( damaging the console in the process ). If everything came in the bag and everything was where it needed to be I would rate it at least a 4...
Its a beautiful table. We loved it but we did think it was a bit taller.. it had plenty of storage space. Easily scratches tho... we are very careful our kids dont bang on it..
Overall a beautiful TV stand for the price! I love the design, the packaging was great and the instructions were easy to follow.
The Cons:
- The instructions ask you to install the back panels with the cable slots facing upwards (pic 1). I didnt think anything of it and completed the build. It wasnt until I sat back in my couch that I realized how silly it was. If kept as is, all cables from my devices would be ran through the top. After 30 minutes, I took off the top, flipped the panels, and put the top back on. Save yourself the headache and flip these right away. That way, all cables are hidden.
- One of the bolts for the legs was missing the threads. Not a deal breaker and its still sturdy. However, it was a defect.
- Like other reviewers, the doors were a pain in the butt to install level. It took multiple times loosening, readjusting, etc to get them level.
Overall, Id still recommend this table to anyone! Great price, easy to put together, and a joy to look at. Just dont forget to flip the back panels!
Pretty happy with this for the price. Looks good, sturdy, directions were a bit challenging but my brother is good at assembling stuff and figured it out for me.
edit: we have now owned this for a year and it has held up well. That being said, we are pretty calm people and never really bump into it and rarely open the doors.
Original review:
This TV stand works for us. Here is some vital info that I look for when I comb through reviews:
- We have a 70 TV and the TV sits on the stand with a few inches to spare on the side (as shown in my pic). The large TV definitely makes the stand look smaller, which is understandable. I think it would look better if the stand was just a bit higher.
- assembly wasnt difficult, but it was kind of time consuming. I think it took my hubby a little over 3 hours. It would be really tricky to put this together on your own, especially when it comes to putting the doors on, as I has to hold the door just right while he screwed everything in together. I could see this being extremely frustrating to put together if you dont have an extra set of hands to help with these small things.
- ours came intact with no broken edges or sides. It was basically perfect except for a tiny scratch that is only noticeable if its pointed out.
- we kept the back off the stand where the door that is closest to our outlet and internet modem goes. It was super easy to conceal everything behind the door and have all of that space to easily slide things behind the unit.
- this thing is HEAVY when shipped! I had to wait until my hubby got home from work to move it in the house and it wasnt light with both of us carrying it in!
Overall, I like this. It looks good in our living room and looks more high quality than it is. The wood is definitely not as thick/high quality as it looks, so Im interested to see how it will hold up in our house with two kids running around. We have only owned it a month and so far, so good!
I saw some varying reviews for this item, but it was exactly what I was looking for, so I decided to purchase it. And man am I glad I did! I love this entertainment center so much, it's easily my favorite piece in our living room now.
Pros:
- Looks beautiful, fantastic mid-century modern look
- Cabinets are very sturdy and lock into place
- Excellent storage capacity and center shelves for your chosen decor
- Built-in grommet for top center shelf
Cons:
- Assembly was, for us, a 2-person job
- May need a quick wipe-down. Ours was relatively clean, but the glass shelf was dusty — easy clean!
- Grommet is high up so cords may be visible running up into it
- Only 1 grommet hole
