Glass Door Bookcase - Oak Review

Glass Door Bookcase - Oak
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Generally, the book case looks good. But, it took almost 6 hours to assemble. The drilled holes and door hardware on the lower right-hand side of the right door did not match up leaving the door a bit out of square. The right door magnetic stop, as a result, did not come into contact with the matching magnet. The magnetic stop had to be moved higher on the door so it would contact the magnet. Also, the screws for the left door magnet would not tighen down, as a result of which, the left door is not firmly attached. I will never buy an unassembled piece of furniture again!

Salamander Chameleon Geneva 221 Twin-Width A/V Cabinet (Medium Walnut) Review

Salamander Chameleon Geneva 221 Twin-Width A/V Cabinet (Medium Walnut)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The Salamander cabinet is an outstanding product. It is large enough to hold oversized components and the finish is beautiful. Solid as a rock. The ventilation panels are terrific, as well. The IFR repeater unit is necessary because of the solid doors, but be very careful with the wiring; dividing the ends to accommodate two components managed to remove the wire covering very easily.
My main concern was with the fit and difficulty of assembly. The screw for one of the legs was very difficult to set in place, and the back panels are very hard to insert. It required extra tools, and a large wrench to get the leverage necessary to turn the screw. Little details, perhaps, but an extra 30 minutes wrestling with three parts was a frustration. Thus, 4 out of 5. I don't look forward to having to remove the back panels for any wiring changes, which inevitably will happen.
Once assembled, though, the product is just what I was looking for. Well desgned for use and it looks great.

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.

Techcraft EOS6428 64-Inch Veneto Series Curved Front Hi-Boy Credenza Review

Techcraft EOS6428 64-Inch Veneto Series Curved Front Hi-Boy Credenza
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This was the first Tech Craft product that I purchased. It was easy to assemble and looks REALLY GOOD. The outside pieces that are seen such as the top and front are wood and are very attractive. The "guts" of the frame are made of MDF and are very solid.
Doors fit well and the hinges are nice, with a quiet close feature.
The shelves have two hole positions. I put my A/V receiver on the bottom shelf and there is only about an inch to spare above with the shelf on the top position. It would be nice to have more holes drilled for greater flexibility with shelf height. Many A/V receivers run hot and need proper ventilation.
Packaging was excellent. This was a major concern for shipping of very heavy items. One interior panel has a long scratch in it, but it wasn't something that could be seen when assembled.
They do an excellent job with construction. The holes are drilled VERY precisely which makes everything line up evenly and also makes it easier to get the screws in. I have assembled units from other manufacturers and don't recall any of them being as good as Tech Craft. The screws didn't strip either, which is common with other companies.
I would definitely recommend this product as well as other Tech Craft items. I have another credenza from them which we are also happy with.

Powell Medium Cherry and Black Corner TV Stand Review

Powell Medium Cherry and Black Corner TV Stand
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I do not typically post reviews, but realized during my researching of this product that no sites had any reviews on it. Here goes...hope this helps someone else.
Took a chance and purchased this unit to house a 42" plasma TV (60+ lbs) in my bedroom corner & did not want a stand w/ too much wood that would compete w/ my cherry-ish wood furniture, yet would still match close enough. I also needed something that was tall in height, as my bed is tall. After MUCH research, this was essentially the only stand that fit the height criteria & only had slight wood in front w/ the look of floating glass shelves.
The appearance is GREAT! Color matched very well to my furniture (fairly true color match to what you see online) and TV looks great in corner. Glass shelves also add a great look without being too modern.
The issue I have is quality. For something that costs in the $200+ range, I expect good quality.
1) I had to exchange my first shipment because the wood legs were a bit damaged in front. 2) I received my 2nd exchange shipment days later (Thx, Amazon!!) but even with this, the newer wood legs came just slightly damaged/not sanded on 2 corners. I decided to live w/ the slight damage as it's hidden enough and I REALLY wanted this stand to work for me. Also, the small middle shelf mirror had some lines etched into it that can't come out (was NOT dirt - definitely inside glass). Luckily, I still had the 1st package at home and swapped out the middle shelf mirror from that package and it was great. Had this not been the case, I think I would've given up on the entire system - though it truly looks great! Also, the unit is slightly rocky w/ my heavy TV on it, though it supposedly could withstand double that TV weight. I suspect that any stand would rock w/ a heavy TV but I won't be rocking it so should be stable & just fine!
Also, set up took about 1-1.5 hours. Not too bad at all, but just requires patience & inspecting each piece you get.
To sum it up...unit looks great and you might take a chance w/ what quality parts you get in your shipment, but it should all work out with some patience and Amazon's great policies!

Techcraft Veneto Series ABS32 TV Stand Review

Product is very sturdy, and holds up a 35" tv (oldschool not flat panel) no problem. Be very careful when putting on the back panel, and even though it clearly says make sure it's a 90 degree angle, you might want to double check before putting it on and only put in a few nails, as the doors may appear slightly off. Otherwise it's a surprisingly good sturdy buy, and one of the taller stands that we have in our house. I would probably buy another product from Techcraft based on my experience with this one.

Prepac Sonoma Corner TV Cabinet, Black Review

Average Reviews:

I looked at a bunch of TV stand before I found one I liked. This thing looks expensive, it has solid wood where it matters. There was like 2 edges that the laminate left a visible line, fixed that with a black sharpy, but is also hidden when the door is closed (you only see solid wood with the doors shut). At this price this is the best thing you can get. I took off a star because they left out the specialty screws for the door, a quick phone call got replacements shipped out via mail, 3 days.

This is an beautiful credenza. I have a Samsung 52 in LCD sitting proudly on it. Ample room for storage and A/V components. The only issue is that you've got to be careful during assembly because the wood finish easily scratches. Also the wood is not solid but engineered wood but that's what you get for the price.

Bush Furniture Sonoma TV Stand Review

Bush Furniture Sonoma TV Stand
Average Reviews:

I bought this for my wife to replace my ugly bachelor style MDF/cinder Block "entertainment" unit. I was very happy with the price, and more than impressed with the packaging to prevent damage during delivery. Be ready to have someone help you move it into your home as it is incredibly heavy for one person. I had to flip it end over end to walk it through my front door (this is not the recommended procedure in case you are wondering). If you have stairs, setup your chiropractor appointment first. From that point I opened the box and took out all 5 million parts. I opened the directions and got started. There is nothing complicated about assembly, but set aside an easy 3-5 hours to work on it. Having built many of these "type" of various units, I now prefer to take my time and double check everything before I get half way through a project and have to start over. I suggest the same. Almost every piece on this unit requires that you glue many wooden pegs for support. While I like this from a construction standpoint, I'd be lying if I said it did not take me a while to complete it.
Over all the stand is functional, the perfect size for my Sony 60" XBR TV. It holds my 4 main components and all different type of remotes function through the glass. The drawer is nice as it holds extra remotes so I know where to find them. I also like that the back is solid wood and not cheap cardboard....so there is a lot of support. The only "Con" is that the center speaker section in the center of the stand is not big enough to hold any real quality center speaker. Mine is currently on the floor in front of the TV stand as a result. At this time I'm not sure how we plan to remedy that. All in all I'm happy with the stand. If you have the time and you have the brawn, then I would more than recommend this stand for you.
12/4/2010 Update: It's been almost 3 years. The furniture has held up well in day to day living. We have an 18 month old now who likes to hit it a lot with toys. Over all it has stood up well to this punishment. Like most "fake wood" furniture, if you gouge it too deep then you will see a lighter color substrate under the darker covering. I usually just draw over it with a black felt tip marker and you never see it without CLOSE inspection. I now have Wii and a computer in it. They both breath in the box OK, but not great. The holes in the back help some. Not too hot to be worried though.

Techcraft Veneto Series SWP48 TV Stand Review

Techcraft Veneto Series SWP48 TV Stand
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Once I got it all assembled, I am pleased with the product.
It has clean lines, great wood grain and color. It really looks like furniture you would purchase from a furniture store. I've put 2 coats of Old English furniture polish on it already :) and I am very pleased.
I found the installation instructions a little "abstract" at first, but once I got out all the parts and matched them up with the pictures, the concept come together. I would recommend that you DO NOT use a power screwdriver tool, due to the screws are pretty soft and may cause stripping the screw heads--all are Philips screws.
I found no damages but that could be because I went to the Circuit City store and picked it up myself, rather than it being shipped via ground shipping to me. The outer cardboard box it comes in is not heavy enough for something that weights nearly 100 pounds. The box is too flimsy to take much rough handling. I can see if it has to endure much handling in shipping, the outer cardboard could weaken and become mashed.
It took me between 1 and 1.5 hrs to assemble, but I took a few breaks in between.
Based on the cost and it's style, appearance, and functionality; I would definitely recommend it to others and would consider purchasing similar pieces from Tech Craft.
