Nice quality piece of furniture. Very little assembly required (just screwed on the little legs). Well crated and packaged. Excellent cable management design. The width of the cabinet looks good with my 55 inch TV.

DEFI Savoie 37-Inch TV Console Review

I saw this TV console on another online site for a much higher price so naturally I was excited when I saw it on Amazon for $100. less. I am so glad I thought to check on Amazon before placing my order elsewhere. I really wanted a console style but had some difficulty finding what I wanted in a 37" size. It goes to show me always check on Amazon. It looks even nicer in person than the picture which I thought was rather nice. It has a loop in the back to keep all your cords together instead of having them look like pasta all over the place. I love the look of the legs which are oil rubbed bronze and the Expresso finish of the shelves. It went together very nicely even though I have Carpal Tunnel in both hands. Another successful purchase from Amazon as always.

Bell'O SP-211 Speaker Stands with Cherry Finish Wood Inlay Review

Bell'O SP-211 Speaker Stands with Cherry Finish Wood Inlay
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The base is 8"X8" in diameter. The top is 5"X5" in diameter and made from the same steel as the base. The thickness of the steel that they are constructed from is very thin. The center post, which isn't a post at all, but a thin strip of stamped steel with an angel bracket welded at the bottom and the top of the stand for stability, is very flexible. If it weren't for the angel brackets they would bend in half. The stands are very unstable on carpet and were designed for small cube shaped speakers at best. Speakers with any height or weight to them will cause the center to flex forward and back and topple over. A very poor design for the money. Not worth $20 let alone the $70 that I paid

SEI Narita Walnut Corner Media Stand with Windowpane-Style Doors Review

SEI Narita Walnut Corner Media Stand with Windowpane-Style Doors
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This cabinet is much better than I expected. The wood finish is very nice, inside and out. The inside surprised me. It isn't finished like the outside, but it still appears/looks like wood. Unlike other assemble yourself furniture I have had in the past, This went together very easily. Rather than trying to thread screws into particle board, anchors had threaded sockets in each hole. Even the back panels are solid and look and feel like wood, not cardboard.
A few key points that I couldn't seem to find answers to before ordering mine.
There is glass in the doors behind the wood grids. I wasn't sure when I ordered mine.
The product description says it is for televisions up to 42". I think they say this because the cabinet itself is exactly 42" wide. However, a 42" TV is not 42" wide because the screen size is measured diagonally. I have a 46" TV and it is actually just under 43" wide. When you assemble the cabinet, there is actually a sticker on the back that says the cabinet is for up to 40" plasma televisions not to exceed 175 lbs. When trying to determine if this is a good size cabinet for your TV, I would go by the width and the weight. My 46" television is much less than 175 lbs, and it matches the width of the cabinet (exactly 42") almost perfectly. Even a larger TV, as long as it is within the weight restrictions, would probably be okay if you don't mind the TV being a little wider than the cabinet. Even with it tucked in the corner, you have a lot more than the 42" width of the cabinet to accommodate your TV.
It also has plenty of room inside. I was a little concerned before ordering mine that the fact it was a corner cabinet would prevent it from being deep enough on the sides for some of my components, but that is not the case at all. Even my largest components fit easily on each side.
My one complaint is the doors. The hinges were already attached to the cabinet and to the doors. You just slip them together. The left door on mine is just a little bit high and the right door is just a little bit low. There isn't any obvious way to adjust them aside from removing the hinges and repositioning them, which I am somewhat hesitant to do. It would have been nice if the hinges were slotted where the screws attach so you could have loosened them just a little bit, adjusted the hinge, and re-tightened them.

Tucked neatly into any corner, this beautiful media stand adeptly collects and contains electronic clutter, leaving living spaces enjoyable, relaxing, and perpetually tidy. The unit's warm walnut finish features an authentically distressed top that provides a fitting display for flat-screen televisions up to 42 inches, while its post-style legs and well-tailored lines lend it a sense of sturdy splendor. Equipped with contemporary gridded windowpanes, the unit's double doors open to reveal two adjustable shelves with considerable space for DVD players, gaming systems, stereo equipment, CDs, and other electronic devices. Even more, a convenient cutout in its back paneling allows for easy management of electrical cords. Deeply recessed side panels and pewter hardware complete the handsome corner media stand, which requires some assembly and measures 19-3/4 by 42 by 24 inches.

Bell'O PVS-4214HG Flat Panel Audio Video System in High Gloss Black Review

Bell'O PVS-4214HG Flat Panel Audio Video System in High Gloss Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Unfortunately the item was sent by Amazon thru UPS which brought it to me smashed to bits inside of an open and damaged box. 85 pounds of shattered glass. I called Amazon right away and the service rep apologized profusely and immediately ordered a replacement promising the problem would not happen again. The next business day the replacement arrived, this time in an intact box but inside the stand was again in thousands of glass shards. Amazon processed a refund to my account within 6 hours.
However, it was left to us to dispose of the broken box (huge) and the glass 85 pounds x 2 now. Once the box is opened it is impossible to seal back up so the glass must be shoveled out and put into other boxes and resealed for the trash people. A terrible dangerous and backbreaking job.
I don't know how the Bello company can pack this item so poorly. It consists of 3 large panels of what they call "safety glass" but which shatters into thousands of tiny shards, with a smaller very heavy metal panel leaning up against the panels. Any shifting of the 85 pound box (2'x 5'x 10" approx) and the metal panel will bump up against the glass panels and will crack and shatter them. The box must be handled by 2 people carrying it flat side up as stated on the top of the box. Have you ever seen UPS carry items that way? If you want this item, it would be best to get white glove delivery which was not offered with this purchase.

Walker Edison Wood Media Storage and TV Console, Traditional Brown Review

Walker Edison Wood Media Storage and TV Console, Traditional Brown
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a nice TV stand for the cost, especially since I found it for less at a different website, but not by much.
Regarding construction, it seems quite sturdy, made from thick particle board and covered with a rich brown laminate on all visible surfaces. I was impressed that the back panels, which are often that thin cardboard that you nail to the back, are actually very rigid and are encased in slits in the surrounding wood pieces. The only part that seems a bit flimsy is the kickboard around the bottom, but there are also thick "legs" underneath for extra support, and the weight of the unit and contents should keep the kickboard from coming out of place. I recommend using glue along with the pegs used to assemble that part. The only parts that did not line up quite right during assembly were one of the glass doors that hangs about 1/8 inch lower than the other doors and one of the magnetic doorstops that is only halfway overlapping the corresponding part on the door. Everything else was drilled pretty much exactly right, and those are pretty minor things anyway.
As for function, our first criterion was that it had to hold our 47-inch plasma TV, which it does very well. Second, we wanted to store our DVD collection in it, and it just fits, but of course that would depend on how much media you have. The description says it holds 150 DVDs, which is probably about accurate, but we have seasons of TV shows with multiple discs per box, so I can't say for sure how many single DVDs it holds. The center compartment holds a PS3, Wii, Wii Fit Balance Board, and all the controllers and remotes easily. There are only two shelves, but they are wide enough to hold things side-by-side and one is adjustable so you can probably fit a lot of stuff in various configurations to fit your needs. The remotes do work through the glass, too.
So overall, this seems like a nice piece of furniture that should last a while without too much abuse. I recommend it!

Crosley Furniture Cambridge 48" TV Stand in Vintage Mahogany Finish Review

Crosley Furniture Cambridge 48 TV Stand in Vintage Mahogany Finish
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This TV stand is very nice. It arrived in just a matter of a few days after placing the order. It was packaged very well and was in perfect condition. It is also very heavy and having to bring it in off my porch was a chore, and I'm sure the neighbors had a laugh or two watching, but I managed. I put this stand together myself, so it is not difficult. I haven't put together too many things and I didn't think about the doors having to be put on in a certain way. The one door is on the wrong side and I am having someone come over to help me try to get it off tomorrow. The directions didn't say anything about making sure you had the door on the right side. But that was due to my inexperience with assembling furniture. I was very pleased with the stand once it was together. I love the rich color and it is very sturdy. It looks very nice in my livingroom and I would certainly buy more furniture from Crosley.

Z-Line Blackhawk Wall Furniture System with Integrated Mount Review

Z-Line Blackhawk Wall Furniture System with Integrated Mount
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
It's cost more than a regular wall mount plus components shelves but it's well worth it. Only ONE stud is needed and very sturdy. With help of a friend, the 40" Samsung LED is now hung beatifully in the bedroom with no cluttering wires/cables.
One thing to keep in mind, it mainly designed to hang LCD TVs, not LED. So if you want to hang your LED TV like what I did, you have to go to a local home improvement store and find two metal bars with holes and mount them on the TV first because the distance between the top and the bottom screws are longer than the wall mount.

OmniMount TRIAP Adjustable 3 Shelf Wall System w/ Cable Management Review

OmniMount TRIAP Adjustable 3 Shelf Wall System w/ Cable Management
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I was initially excited about this product. It seemed to be the best 3 shelf wall mount system; it's not. Though I've not found an alternative yet, I'm looking. The reason behind my disappointment is that the shelves are unrealistically shallow. One needs to consider that the depth of each shelf is shortened when one considered the cables that have to come out of the back of the receiver. For example, an HDMI cable is a high end thick cableand it needs about 1.5" of rear room to be plugged in and bent down or toward it's souce. If you use good speaker cables like Monster, the same holds true, so one looses shelf depth because the distance that the cables use coming out of the back of a receiver wasn't properly accounted for. Perhaps for a home theater in a box it would work fine, but for anyone who has a regular receiver, forget it! Even my DVD player barely fit on it! With home theaters evolving quickly, the consumer needs a true multi shelf wall mount system that accomodates a regular receiver, DVD player & cable/SAT box, as well as a center channel shelf. Well, that and a couple of bucks will get you on the New York subway...

Sonoma Collection Black Finish Tall Corner TV Stand Review

Sonoma Collection Black Finish Tall Corner TV Stand
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I just finished assembling this stand all by myself (I'm a 60-year old woman who is definitely NOT a handyman). The finished product is beautiful and well worth the price. It's going in my bedroom so I can more easily see the TV over my feet when I'm in bed. Most other TV stands are too short for the bedroom. The assembly was a bit challenging since the pieces are somewhat heavy and awkward to handle, but it took less than 2 hours from start to finish. I have to admit that I did make one mistake, and switched the side pieces so the shelf holes are on the outside instead of the inside, but at that point it was nearly complete and I wasn't going to take it apart. I can put tall stuff inside! I do wish that the manufacturers of furniture that has to be assembled would take more care in writing the instructions. Instructions here are a bit confusing.

Peerless PLT-BLK Table Top Stand for 32-50" Displays (PLP-UNL universal adapter plate required) Review

Peerless PLT-BLK Table Top Stand for 32-50 Displays (PLP-UNL universal adapter plate required)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this Peerless plasma stand for my new Panasonic 42" Plasma. The description didn't explain that the stand requires an "adapter plate" for most plasma TVs. I spent a morning getting all of the wiring setup, cleared the spot for the TV and assembled the stand. Only then did I learn that I would need a special Peerless adapter plate. Buying this adapter plate will cost another $80, including shipping.
The bottom line is that I wouldn't have bought this stand if I knew an additional plate was required to attach the TV.

Bought this 4 months ago, and it was a great purchase. Overall, it took a long time to put together, but it wasn't difficult, just time consuming. Took between 1-2 hours all together to get it ready to use. However, it is super sturdy, and my 42" tv looks awesome on it! Very solid construction, and a beautiful dark brown color with some cherry highlights in it. Also have the coffee table and the bookcase.

Bell'O PR-11 Contemporary Espresso Finish Wood Audio/Video Cabinet Review

Bell'O PR-11 Contemporary Espresso Finish Wood Audio/Video Cabinet
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This unit appealed to me for several reasons:
-Enclosed cabinet to minimize dust from settling onto components.
-Large smoked glass doors to view and remote control components.
-Ventilated shelving.
-Slotted shelves and easily removable back panels to facilitate maintenance, cable management and component access.
-Finish, while not an exact match, mostly blends in with existing furniture.
The unit is heavy and seems solidly constructed. While it's not constructed with true solid woods (it has "wood solids" and veneers), I am more than satisfied with the construction quality and finish and the price seems appropriate. I actually ordered the PR-12 model the first time, which I had to return immediately due to the damage it incurred from shipping with FedEx, which despite the hassle, I guess was a good thing, because I decided the PR-11 was a better match anyway. The PR-11 was delivered with the "white glove" service professionally, quickly, and without damage from CEVA. This unit comes in a large box with lots of styrofoam and super-hard cardboard pieces to protect the edges. There were a few very minor spots where some stain was missing and no stain pen was included as reviewers have mentioned for other Bell'o products, so I emailed them requesting one so I can touch it up and make it perfect. But as I said, they are very minor and not in very noticeable spots -- the unit arrived in great shape. You will most likely have to spend some time adjusting the glass doors to align them better than they come out of the box, and as much as I enjoy tinkering with things, I would have preferred these were aligned properly at the factory.
Overall, for a "Made in China" product, this is a great TV cabinet that does not appear or feel cheap in any way and has met all my expectations.
***Update***
My shipment DID come with a touch-up pen. As we were preparing to throw out the shipping box, we found the pen in a small red plastic bag. We also discovered a couple more of the round feet that were loose within all the packing materials, so inspect everything thoroughly before concluding something's missing and tossing out the packaging.
***Update #2***
If you intend to place your center channel speaker in the center shelf behind the built-in speaker screen, you should remove the speaker's own grille if possible, otherwise that center channel audio is making its way through two sets of screens: it's own + the cabinet's. I compared how my center channel speaker sounded with the cabinet's center door open and closed, and with it closed, it definitely sounded different, with a *slight* muffling of the audio clarity when the door is closed. I removed the grille from my Polk Audio center channel speaker and am very satisfied with the overall sound clarity.
