I very much like this stand. The only issue I had was during assembly. The instructions referred panels as A B or C like many of these types of furniture do. Except NONE of the panels had stickers or labels or any other identifying marker on them. Took me longer to put it together because of this. Had to disassemble here and there until I figured it out.
I really liked it.. very easy to assemle took 40 minutes for two of us.. colour looks great..its says 72 inch tv stand but i think good enough for even 80 inch ..
Only problem was the big piece which is the top shelf left side of the both two corner was damaged .. i posted the picture
This is a relatively simple media stand...bought it really for 2 reasons. I needed a place to put my center channel and wanted it aligned with my bookshelf L R speakers for the best 3.1 sound. Putting the center channel speaker on top of the media console wasnt an option as I really didnt want to wall mount my tv and route cables behind the wall. My existing console stand didnt give me a place to put my center channel and drilling holes into the wall (which I had just patched up and painted) didnt sound like fun to me. Nor did I want to shell out $$$ for a decent soundbar (again, my audio setup via my Pioneer VSX-90 is better than most soundbars -- Im sure that there will be someone who will comment that a certain soundbar is amazing and while it may be the case, those always seem to cost premium buku bucks!). Replacing my existing console stand was the more economical choice. The other thing that I appreciate with this console stand is width. My space is a 74 cutout in the wall and the width of this thing is great since it looks like its practically custom as my previous stand left about 4.5 on either side which looked weird and wasnt wide enough to accommodate anything else (unless I wanted to slide the unit over to one side to create space but I didnt want an asymmetrical look either).
All in all, its a good stand. It is simple; what you see is what you get (WYSIWYG). There arent any doors (better heat dissipation for electronics) or storage compartments. No LED lighting in any of the shelves. The shelves are adjustable with plastic pegs. This is (as almost all self-assemble furniture is nowadays) particle board with laminate that is prone to scrapes/scratches/dings. It is not as durable as hardwood but thats also why you pay these low prices.
Assembly wasnt too bad (I put it together on my own) but there were areas that werent very clear in the instructions (surprise, surprise) that I had to undo and redo because the pieces wouldnt go together otherwise. So be sure to really review/scrutinize the indescript drawings as best as you can but be prepared to pull apart and undo some of those camlocks and redo work to get everything to fit correctly.
If anything, I wish this thing came with a couple more shelves (+ pegs) since my Xbox 360 and PS3 (yes, older gen consoles -- get off my back since I work and dont play much anymore unless you want to buy me a PS5 Xbox Series X) both have wasted space above them...although this would mean that youd also have to tap out your own holes to make this work since the last bottom peg holes arent low enough.
My fave/dream media/console stand would be the BDI Corridor Entertainment Stand...gorgeous but Im not paying that kind of $$$$$$ either!
So for what it is and what it offers, this is a solid unit. There are similar ones that are shorter in width (different or sold under different manufacturer/brand names) but same layout but in different laminate looks.
Directions are horrible as usual like most products out there. place all parts out first before assembling. the photo did not include measurements for the compartments on the side. most electronics like receivers and turntables are 18 wide. I wanted to modify the sides but they are only 163/4 wide. It would have been great if it was offered in white acrylic, and had an option for both side doors to eliminate the bottom shelf to store a turntable. maybe options for tinted glass doors in the center. great base to have options. The overall product is very good. Im a builder by trade.

Poorly aligned, durable, and reliable
I had my boyfriend drill in the correct spots for the holes. He said they werent aligned. But its fine nonetheless.
Great But Measure for what you use it for
Directions are horrible as usual like most products out there. place all parts out first before assembling. the photo did not include measurements for the compartments on the side. most electronics like receivers and turntables are 18 wide.

Great TV stand
It is very sturdy and easy to assemble. It was missing 2 pieces but got it resolved quickly. It looks very nice once it was set up.
still going strong 6 years later
I bought this January 30th 2014. It is now February 1st 2020.
