Crosley Furniture Alexandria 60" TV Stand in Classic Cherry Finish Review

Crosley Furniture Alexandria 60 TV Stand in Classic Cherry Finish

(More customer reviews)
This is a good piece of furniture for something better than pressboard but not quite "real" furniture. It appears to be primarily composed of some kind of wood which was surprisingly sturdy feeling and fairly attactive. I bought it for three primary features (1) a more traditional "wood" look (not metal/glass), (b) a space to place a center channel speaker and (c) doors that conceal stereo equipment (and video game consoles, games, CDs, videos, breakfast cereals, orangutans, etc...) Unfortunately my center channel speaker would not fit in the middle space above the doors (so I stuck it on top of the adjustable shelf in the middle of the cabinet such that the middle doors must be open when listening to it). That space is 31 1/2 inches long, 6 inches high and 16 inches deep. Please note that the 16 inch depth also was a problem for my receiver such that I had to cut out a hole in the back panel to be able to close the doors. The weight of the TV does appear to be depressing the middle of the top such that the right and left doors are sticking. The worst part of this cabinet is the spring-loaded PLASTIC pieces that hold the doors in. I expect these to fail (as one has already) and will likely be replaced with small hinges. All parts were included and it was well packed. Please note it is quite heavy.

This cabinet is very well built. Beware, if you don't have mechanical skills, "some assembly required" means that you will have to get someone to help you assemble this unit. The instructions are clear and they give you extra hardware.

Milen Handy Caddy - Black Review

Milen Handy Caddy - Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I ordered this, thinking that if it didn't work with my heavy Kitchenaid stand mixer, I could use it for my coffee pot. I can't believe it !!!! It solved my problem with the Kitchenaid stand mixer. They are very heavy and a real pain to move in and out from the wall and the Handy Caddy did the trick. I am ordering a second one for my coffee maker. I saw a lot of solutions for the Kitchenaid stand mixer on line which were very very expensive. I am going to go back to the KitchenAid site and let them know that this thing works. Thank you Handy Caddy. A great product. You won't be sorry. Very very sturdy for the money and such a simple concept.

I am very thrilled with this cabinet, the picture is an exact duplicate this cabinet. I placed my 42" flat screen TV on it, fits perfectly. The packing of this product was excellent and there was no damage. It matches my other furniture to a 'T', I couldn't have made a better choice ... Karin

Salamander Synergy 237 A/V Cabinet w/ Three Doors (Black/Black) Review

Salamander Synergy 237 A/V Cabinet w/ Three Doors (Black/Black)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have to come some where in between the good and bad reviews here. This is definitely not "cheap ikea wood" but it's also not quite the overall quality I expected for well over a thousand dollars. The front doors are real, solid, well crafted wood, the top and bottom (which are identical pieces of wood) are very dense, very strong composite wood with a really nice finish. Most of the hardware is good, heavy duty stuff (for instance the door hinges), but not everything. The end panels are something much cheaper and thinner, possibly a wood/polymer composition... just not what I expected for the price. It rattles when you tap on it. Also the bolts DEFINITELY show on top. I read a review that said this before I bought, but I didn't realize we were basically talking about two stacked pennies on top in 8 places. The bolts are smooth and tapered, but still...you see them even from across the room. Not a huge deal, just not what I expected for well over a grand.
I'm very happy with the way my components are stored and how well they breathe. The adjustable shelves give you the ability to give your receiver all the room in the world. I even put my center channel in there and the sound is not effected whatsoever. IR remotes work perfectly with the doors closed. I have a very minimal number of wires coming out the back; just the wires to my TV, speakers, sub, and power cord to surge protector. This unit does NOT have a real "cord management system" as I believe the description hints at. What it does have is plenty of room to tuck away wires that you bundle and strong black plastic removable backing to cover it all up.
Overall, I would say this is a high quality unit with a brilliantly simple, well thought out design...just not QUITE worth the price tag. If I had to guess, I'd say they put a lot of money into R&D and not quite as much into the final product. If the price was down around $950 I would have given it 5 stars.

Prepac Quad CD, Video, DVD Wall Storage Units - MA-1520 Review

Prepac Quad CD, Video, DVD Wall Storage Units - MA-1520
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
First of all, this is your typical fiberboard product with a flimsy cardboard backing. That said, I am very happy with this purchase. The visible areas of the tower are finished nicely and do not look cheap. I have over 600 movies and they fit just fine with a little room to spare for odd shaped media. The directions are okay but could use some more detail. Assembly took about two hours but I was going slow and took a couple beer breaks. The worst part of this assembly was trying to attach the backing without punching a nail through the finish...I failed. They supply a cover-up marker for damage to the finish so the end result looked pretty good in spite of my wayward hammer. I just needed a place to store my dvd`s. This tower fits great in my basement since it only sticks out about nine inches from the wall.

Coaster Sofa Tea Side Table with Modern Simple Pewter and Glass Top Review

I never write reviews, but I do not want any buyer to go through the same situation as I. I purchased this table, recieved it 31/2 weeks later only to find complete dissapointment! It requires an extremely easy assembly yet when I went to assemple the welding broke off when I was just putting the screw in! Then, the other four legs did not have the holes drilled properly to even assemble the table! Lastly, as if that is not bad enough the "metal legs" were not steel or anything close...its a gray/silver wrapping that is all bubbly!!!!! Unbelievable...now I have to wait another 3-4 weeks to make another attempt at recieving decent quality legs just so I can try and hide the table somewhere!!!!! DO NOT PURCHASE!!!!!
