Im no novice when it comes to building kits, so this shouldve been an easy job It look me 6/7 HOURS to get it all done due to various manufacturing problems with this product. Also, youre probably gonna need your drill a lot for this one.
1.) Center divider piece had pre/drilled holes where the cam lock dowels are supposed to be inserted. problem is the holes did not get drilled far enough to reach where the cam locks! I had to figure out what drill bit to use and drill out the holes through myself! See accompanied photos for the lack of holes.
2.) The other side pieces thankfully had holes for the cam dowels to go through except they are off/centered so much that the cam locks cannot turn and lock onto the dowels. ONCE AGAIN, I had to take out the drill and slightly shave down the pre/drilled hole so the dowels could be centered ever so slightly until the cam locks could successfully engage the dowels. (See photos.)
3.) More misaligned pre/drilled holes. I had to slightly shave down another pre/drilled hole so the hilo screw could actually reach the barrel nut.
4.) The instructions didnt say what size drill bit to use for the stud screws.
5.) When mounting the console onto the wall cleat, make sure where the stud screws are placed. I was sure I had the screws that went into the studs in a good place that wouldnt interfere with where the L brackets would slide into, but didnt anticipate the inner L bracket getting blocked by one of the stud screws. I had to take one of the top stud screws out just so I could mount the console (see last photo). I really dont like the idea of one side being supported by only one screw. Hoping the other 2 studs will have to do. Perhaps consider making the heads of the stud screws flat so that it could be flush and wont interfere with the L bracket sliding over it.
6.) ALSO MORE DRILLING, I had to drill my own holes into the wall cleat just so itd all match up to the studs in the wall. I really wish the instructions had this sort of information if drilling your own holes here was safe or recommended or not.
For 180, I expected this to be at least decently made without the customer having to make any modifications just to get it built as per included instructions. I really liked the look and style of this piece, but just the whole process of one manufacturing nuisance after the next soured my experience. Future buyers beware.
Receive this product (which is a pretty penny) and put the pieces together. Then noticed on the large piece on top of the entertainment center, there is a very noticeable crack going down the width of the larger piece.
Pretty upset that we took that time to assemble, then noticed this large crack. Then noticed pieces came broken. Not trying to go about disassembling the product and returning.
