Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I will say up front, I was very nervous ordering this product; I usually like to buy furniture in person and if in the budget, buy solid wood (future heirlooms!). I spent a lot of time looking online and in brick & mortar stores for a stand that looked nice, was fairly inexpensive, and had storage. My research found that there are two types: The $100 metal stand, or the $500+ veneer stand with nothing in the middle. That is until we found this deal on Amazon.
As I said earlier, I was bit nervous, this unit was only available thru Amazon from this seller, it had no reviews, and it was over half the price of comparable styled models. Anyway, we decided it had everything we wanted and the price was great, so we took a chance. All I can say is wow, this unit is gorgeous!!! It is one of the best looking non-hardwood pieces of furniture I have ever seen. If the color fits our room, you cannot do better for the price!
As for ordering furniture online, my biggest fear is damage in shipping, this is another area where the manufacturer excelled in quality. The packaging was unbelievable, the main box had a 2nd lining of cardboard around the edges like a big bumper. The entire inside of the box was thick Styrofoam for cushion, and between each panel was a sheet of foam paper. When we opened it up, not one scratch or knick anywhere (18 separate pieces!).
Dislikes: Couple of little things. The sockets for the four doors are white, so the bottom ones you can see a little bit against the dark color. The middle shelves are fixed and is not tall enough for my stereo receiver. This would not be a problem except that there are no built in holes in the backboard for the side compartments where the received had to go. The last is that when assembling you have to set the doors in and the put the top on. The doors don't sit snug in their sockets, so as you are adjusting them top fitting, you tend to pinch your fingers to get them in.
Likes: This unit once built is very solid. We have a 46" LCD sitting on It and it does not wobble, wiggle, or give us any reason to think it is going to fall over or something crazy (and that is with 3 kids running around 24-7). The middle glass doors give it a very elegant feel, everyone that has seen it cannot believe the quality. The backer board is not paper like your find on most lower end dept store types, this thing has a wood panel that locks together in three pieces to give the extra rigidity (although without it, there was no wiggle, its solid!)
Overall, you will not be disappointed with is guy, well built, well shipped, and we love it.
