This stand arrives in a large, quite heavy box. I have the utmost respect for the petite young lady who delivered it. The instructions and assembly are fairly straightforward but odd cuts to the pieces make it very easy to assemble some pieces the wrong way. The way the pieces latch together also makes it difficult to pull them apart if they are assembled incorrectly. Arrow stickers or a little more directional guidance would be hugely helpful. Once assembled, the stand looks good and feels sturdy but the doors and drawer are misaligned in several spots. I’ve included photos showing this. The LED light strip illuminates the center portion and has adjustable lighting colors and patterns. It’s just a generic light strip, so other brands can be used if desired. That offers more choices in lighting styles and/or the ability to integrate the stand into an existing smart light system if a compatible strip is used.
Overall, the stand isn’t bad and looks nice. There are definitely some QC issues to be concerned about however. In addition to the crooked edges, some of the pieces also had brown stains. Thankfully, the stains weren’t permanent and cleaned easily with soap and water. Some of the edges were also chipped. Given the heavy weight during shipping, this doesn’t surprise me. Plus, the box had several holes and dents, so the chips may not have occurred at the factory. Still, no one wants chips in their furniture regardless of where it occurred.
