Ive only owned this TV console for a week, so I cant comment on the longevity of it. I purchased this for a small room that I am converting into a game room/den for my daughter. My husband owns a lot of games as well, so he was happy to have a nice, neat place to organize them. We were able to fit 3 game systems and a DVD player on the shelves. The backing that slides is a nice touch. We also purchased a large storage ottoman that we retrofitted with bins to hold our frequently used games and all of our controllers. It took us around 2.5 hours to put together. It is heavy. My husband placed a small box under the doors as support while he was installing the hinges. That was much easier than trying to hold them up and steady - they are quite heavy.
My advice is to lay out all wood pieces, identify them using the diagram and then label each board with a sticky note. This saved a lot of time as none of the boards are labelled.
Everything was packed extremely well in very heavy duty cardboard boxes.
This matches our shades of gray and silver game room perfectly. Very pretty.
Very nice
