This makes the fifth or so MDF (i.e., fake wood) piece of furniture Ive had to build since moving into a new place, and it is also the best, so far. The instructions were relatively clear (do pay attention to the orientation of each piece). All of the screws and dowels fit nicely into the pieces. Once complete, everything lined up very nicely with no visible gaps. I did not get the impression it was going to collapse soon. Also, the textured veneer is an improvement over the typical paper/thin wrap you find on lower/end stuff. Overall, I am quite pleased, and will look to this brand if I am need of additional MDF furniture.
After much contemplation for a TV stand/entertainment console, I opted for this item.
Instructions were clear, packaging was great (they put in scrap wood around edges for safety), and ready to assemble. They even threw in a bag labeled spare parts. Which I appreciated. We all know some furniture comes with spare parts, but theyre included in a bag and not labeled so were left wondering why we have an extra screw.
Pay close attention to the illustrations and the hole alignments. I almost got fooled on piece 5 until I noticed the big holes on one side.
I purchased the matching coffee table. Coffee table took maybe 20 minutes to assemble. This piece took about 45 minutes.
They also threw in a tube of glue for the dowels. The tube wasnt enough, but I had some handy in the garage and its the gesture of them providing it that counts.
My entertainment center arrived with a scratched board. I contacted and I was asked whether I wanted a simple return or to replace the one board through the manufacturer. It was easier to just replace the board so connected me to the manufacturer. They were very friendly and sent me an all new entertainment center so now I have two lol. 5 stars for quality customer service.
Late review: Bought this TV stand approx 10months ago. Works well then, works well now!
/ Delivery: Arrived on time. Delivered to my door (2nd floor in apt complex without elevator) so thank you for s great delivery service.
/ Assembly: Lots of pieces but nothing was missing everything was clearly labeled. Instructions included basic schematics of assembly but it could have been clearer. Some steps needed careful examination of pieces and its directionality. Some pieces were definitely heavy and bulky so beware! I would not recc assembling it on your own. Took about 2/2.5hrs for 2 of us to assemble it!
/ Materials/Quality: Materials are not the most high/end but still very sturdy, not at all wobbly. I chose to write this review 10months in so that I can have a better assessment of its sturdiness. Been holding my 55 TV without any issues. No scratches from my pets or robot vacuum. The electric fireplace working fine then, working fine now.
/ Electric fireplace: One of the main reasons why I bought this TV stand. Easy aspect of the assembly process. Just plug in and turn on. The design of the flames are a bit artificial looking but I do appreciate that the flames can be on display without the heat. The heating function is on or off, no adjustments on level of heat. The warmth does not radiate far. It is really hot when standing directly in front but I dont feel it much when Im sitting on the couch a couple of feet away. As previous reviews have mentioned, a remote control, or adjustments on level of heat, or changes in flame display would have been nice but to me, they are not necessary.
Overall, sturdy TV stand with pretty functional electric fireplace feature for a reasonable price. I would purchase this item again.
Hope this review helps.
I really like this entertainment center it is sturdy and heavy in the right way. It took my husband and I about 45 minutes to an hour to put it together. It was not difficult the instructions are extremely easy to follow. I would definitely suggest this product to my Friends and family.
If you are looking for something that is solid wood and will be a piece of furniture that you can hand down for generations, this is not the piece for you. But if you were looking for something that will probably work for 10 to 12 years depending on how often you move, this is the piece for you. It is very fashionable in the color options and the style. But nothing beats a solid wood craftsman build entertainment center.
I am using this as a tertiary stand for a game TV I have in the rec/gaming room. I have a 65 TV on it and it fits no problem. Deep enough to accommodate wide TV feet with space to spare. It does not sit very tall, less than 2 feet, but it works for my purposes. Its is sturdy and was easy to put together. Also came with backup hardware just in case.

Its a good product
Its really sturdy nice, was broken on a panel but luckily wasnt one that supports a lot.
