I was a bit hesitant to purchase this entertainment center due to the complete lack of existing reviews, however I took the risk and was very pleasantly surprised! Don't worry about receiving a damaged unit, this thing was packaged like a tank. Just follow the directions carefully and set aside an hour or two and you will have a great looking and solid feeling tv stand. No broken / missing pieces and easy to follow directions made assembly a snap. Only complaint would be that the doors feel slightly flimsy when you pull them open from the magnetic closure. They are a bit thin and wobble a bit. But it's a minor complaint that doesn't bother too much. Overall it was exactly what I was looking for and well worth the money. Very satisfied with my purchase. I'll keep an eye out for this brand in the future.
I bought this around cyber Monday to go with the new 65” tv I ordered. It arrived early, which was nice. It took myself and a friend a couple relaxed hours putting it together. It fits nicely, is sturdy, and looks like something Jo Gaines would pick out (in my opinion, haha). I took away a star because the color is a darker gray than I was anticipating and the doors don’t quite fit evenly; they are a little crooked so the one on the right is a little snug closing and he one on the left just barely lines up the magnet to close. Otherwise I’m pretty pleased with it.
The stand itself is very pleasing to the eyes. I took care when installing it and even made sure to lift and not drag it into place once I was done setting it up. I went to move the unit once since installation a few months after purchase and it literally fell apart. The screws and bolts literally ripped through the particle board material at various places and even the glue underneath the top of the stand completely ripped off. The stand was completely unusable after that and I had to throw it away. I tried contacting the manufacturer and they said they could only replace “a part” and not the entire unit and to contact Amazon since it was fulfilled by them. I then contacted Amazon who said that they only cover for the first 30 days after delivery. Needless to say, it ended up being a complete waste of money and I only had it a few months. Never buying from this brand again.
Beautiful quality for the price! Sturdy and not too heavy. I'm writing this review because I know how much I depend on reviews to make an online purchase, especially furniture. Have been shopping around for a new tv stand for weeks and finally came across this one that caught my eye! It took about 4-5 hrs for my husband to build. We hit a slight hick up and missed a few steps in the instructions and ended up not having enough room for the right door to fit. Contacted seller because thought we needed a replacement door and they got back to me in a timely manner. Turns out the manufacturer said it wasn't assembled correctly, told us exactly what to do to fix the problem and problem was fixed. The wait was well worth it! Only small thing I dislike is the right door in now a little clumsy, not sure if it was because it was assembled incorrectly the first time, but not too bad just gotta be gentle, that's why I rated 4 stars. Over all love my new peace of furniture!
First of all, I see some reviews and really don't understand what it is people are expecting for cheap MDF furniture. There is a reason Rooms2Go isn't stocking this for $500.00... That being said. Its pretty straight forward for the most part. Glued wooden dowels and cam locks hold it together, and not well I would say. The cam locks just don't "lock" in all that well. Once its together fine but I feel like if you moved it around enough they'd work their way out.
I'd recommend putting the magnets on for the cabinets ahead of when the instructions tell you too as well. A.) Saves you the headache of weaseling a screwdriver in to do it, and B.) will help you avoid potentially assembling it wrong.
Its overall finish it nice. I think one of the doors is slightly off center on mine but, again, cheap. Furniture. For $164 its not a bad play I think. Have fun picking up all the cheap foam bits from the packaging as well. That was probably the most annoying aspect of it all.
This TV stand came with one of the boards broken. The company did send a replacement piece about 2 weeks later. The stand was great, until a few weeks later when it started to bow down in the middle. Nothing in the cabinets is heavy, and the subwoofer in the middle is not heavy. Really crappy stand.
Easy to put together (with two people). Sturdy. Perfect size for our 55” tv. (Storage containers on shelves in my pictures are a separate purchase.)
The only problem: the predrilled holes for attaching the door hinges are not quite positioned correctly. The right side door doesn’t close unless we lift up as we are closing it (see photo). The front doors feel a little less sturdy than the rest, because the interior panels of the doors are thinner than the rest of the piece of furniture, but still decent (compared to many items).
Otherwise, the design is well thought out. The back is even quality - not cardboard! It’s still thin board, but not cardboard. And it is three individual panels (vs one large piece tacked at the back), that are well fitted into grooves/slots, and they even have hardware that attaches behind them to ensure they remain snug and secure.
The packaging says it was designed for Better Homes and Gardens. My mother told me she saw the same exact one at Walmart for twice the price as on here!
The instructions either missed something, or it didn't allow for the use of the materials (bolts) sent. One shelf for damaged in assembly because of this- totally ripped it out and messed up the cheap particle board that it is made from! There was also a visible chip on the very front of the stand. Looks very good, true to color, although I'm not sure why they call it gray wash because there isn't much gray to it. This stand is made very very VERY cheap. It won't last any time. I contacted the company for a replacement for the chip as it tells the customer to do, but they told me I had to contact Amazon instead. Totally disappointed in the quality for such a price. If it were priced much lower then it would be a good value. Totally disappointed!
Looks great and as pictured, very happy with this unit.
This looks really good as I am picky with the furniture I buy. Very sturdy and great value as I saw this exact same tv stand at costco for $500.
It's like a grey wash on it love the handles and hardware too. Very happy with purchase
I bought the defect one because it was on sale. When I put it together (without any stress to my suprise) I was so happy that the product was perfect. No scratches, dents or broken parts!! 2 missing screws along with 2 magnants, I will survive though. So don't be scared to buy a used item from the Amazon app because chances are, it's 99.9% perfect!
The directions were easy to follow and all of the pieces fit together extremely easily without any issues. They did not really provide enough glue for the dowels, recommended to have some of your own. The unit feels sturdy and has a good weight to it. Looks great, none of my parts were damaged. Very happy with the purchase.
Edit: After moving apartments only twice, the top piece of wood has begun to warp significantly. Take care to support the middle when it's being carried after assembly or the unit will quickly degrade, my doors won't shut cleanly now.
Its nice, bit my goodness is it ever hard to assemble. You definitely need a drill for this one, so ensure you have one with you. If not for that, it's a pretty nice tv stand.
