Made of presswood except for the top. A portion of it snapped off when I held on to it to stand up. Nice looking console but just not made as well as I had hoped.
This product looks really nice, no dents or scratches when it came. It did take my husband and I about 2/ 3 hours to do it together because nothing comes assembled in the box. Overall, very happy and looks great in our living room.
Product arrived with three parts damaged, however, it was an easy process to report the damage and receive a replacement from the company once pieces were identified. I received the replacement parts in less than a week. The console took about 2.5 hours to put together. It is sturdy and looks beautiful in our living room. Im very happy with this purchase!
Beautiful piece of furniture. Two things that were disappointing: 1. There was a huge noticeable scratch on the glass of the left door. 2. There are 2 large holes on each side of the backing. Most other furniture Ive bought, gives the option of popping out the holes. I didnt purchase for media, Im using it as a in my dining room.
It was packaged excellently.
this was a little intimidating to assemble, but the instructions were easy and it came together so beautifully. it looks like a much more expensive piece of furniture and i have gotten many compliments on it. The entire thing is larger than i expected, which is a good thing / it is very sturdy and heavy / looks like something that was delivered from a furniture store. took less than 45 minutes to assemble and i love it!!
First, it is my opinion (and I believe to be true) that across the board, furniture quality isnt what it used to be. That doesnt mean you cant find quality furniture, made with fine materials by skilled craftsman//you certainly can. But generally speaking the quality of furniture you might see in your parents or grandparents house is more difficult to come by these days. And thats especially true of a 200/ish piece of furniture like this /TV stand.
It is, however, machined well in my opinion. I know a few of the reviews mentioned parts not fitting together quite right. I didnt experience that. Things fit precisely the way as described, with very minute alignment issues on only a couple of the dozens of pieces. All in all Im very happy with the final product. The packaging was adequate, I saw no damage on any parts, the instructions were clear 99 of the time, and the final assemblage looks and feels as advertised.
Other reviews were quoting anywhere from 2.5 to 3.5 hours of assembly time. I ed right at 2.5 hours, which I spent entirely on assembly with the exception of one bathroom break. Im a fairly organized person, so I laid out all of the hardware packages alphabetically to make things more efficient as I worked through the instructions.
Here are some of the reasons I wouldnt give this piece of furniture five stars. First, the quality (or lack thereof) of some of the hardware parts//especially the cam locks. Turn the screwdriver too hard trying to snug them up and the cam lock actually breaks! Second, most of the cam bolts dont indicate how deep you should be screwing them into the wood. I found myself having to back out quite a few of the cam bolts a turn or two just so the cam locks would grab them. This generally isnt a big hassle, except many of the dowels already have glue on them which means as soon as you take a piece apart to adjust a cam bolt, you inevitably get glue all over the place. The hinges were the other pieces of hardware which seem really poorly made. Im sure its just cost/cutting measures, but although they do the job and seem like theyll hold just fine, they just feel like lightweight pieces of junk when you pick them up. I guess its nice that the manufacturer gave you some little stickers to put over and camouflage the cam locks when youre fully assembled, but it would have been nicer if they provided enough of the little stickers!
Other lessons learned: 1) Careful leaving the little tubes of wood glue on the floor during assembly. Since youre moving all around to get to different parts of this piece, you may step on them (like I did) and make quite a mess. 2) If youre even a bit experienced with a cordless drill, dont hesitate to use it (even though the instructions advise against it) for screwing on the three cardboard back panels which in total have about 25 screws. I also used it to screw in the hinges. 3) Dont over/tighten anything. In fact, Id leave things a little more loose than what youd normally be accustomed to doing when assembling furniture. 4) They dont provide felt pads for the wooden legs. And although the leg bottom surfaces didnt feel too rough, if youre worried about scratching your floor when moving this piece around, Id recommend buying some and sticking them on the legs. Its a fairly heavy piece of furniture.
I could probably say more, but I think that suffices. You get what you pay for, folks. I think this is a fair price for what ends up being a pretty nice piece of entry/level furniture. Just dont expect a high quality heirloom worthy of passing down through the generations.
I would give it a 5/star, however, there was a chip in the front piece of the furniture (see photo) and there werent enough white circular stickers to cover the hardware screws on the inside. Otherwise, I LOVE it! Its a solid piece of furniture, and it is so sleek and stylish. I am glad I ordered it!
I love the look of this TV stand, but had some headaches putting it together. Two pieces arrived damaged so I emailed the manufacturer and they shipped two replacements. Both replacements arrived worse than the original. While waiting for the replacement parts, we continued to assemble the TV stand and noticed two brackets were bend wrong which made the doors not sit right. With the constant readjustment of the door, the door got scratched up. The manufacturer replaced the door, the hinges, and resent the original damaged pieces. Everything arrived perfectly. We now know that we need to be careful with bumping into the unit so we dont scrape up the paint. The manufacturer was very helpful and friendly. In the end, the unit is beautiful and structurally sturdy.
Love this!! We bought it for our frontroom. It looks just like the picture and is perfect. Love it. Havent had any issues with anything yet and its been up for a few months. We have the doors bungy corded shut w/ a hair tie because you cant put baby locks on it, but it works.

Pretty but wouldnt buy again

Looks great, is sturdy, plan for about 3 hours assembly

4 Large media cable holes in the back.

beautiful!! like very expensive furniture!

Perfect.
Heavy, but sturdy and easy to put together. Exactly what I needed.
