South Shore City Life 50" TV Stand in Black - 4270662

I wasn't expecting much for how much I paid for this piece. However, there are a few issues with the stand. First, the drawers use plastic guides. The drawers are hard to pull out an push in as they stick. This is more apparent on one side, even after switching the drawers, so it's a build issue. Second, the feet and drawer handles are made of really cheesy plastic. Third, the bottom of the drawers are very flimsy. As someone else mentioned, DVD cases do not fit in the drawers standing up. They do in mine, only due the fact that the bottom of the drawers flex. Also the area where you put your electronics are pretty large. This may be good for individuals with older electronics that are bulky. I have an Xbox360 and a new thinner 3D Blu-ray player, which leaves a huge void in those sections and looks odd. Overall, the design is not worthy of 5 stars and the build quality is low, which is something I expect from something made in China, not Canada. But for the price, you really can't expect much.

I love the stand but it should have came with glue for the two bars in the front to stay in place.

I am very please with our stand. I just wish the drawers were a bit sturdier. The bottoms are like heavy cardboard so you don't dare put much weight in them. Over all, for the money it is a great buy and is just what we needed for our 60" TV.

This TV Stand is heavy duty and attractive, yet simple. The drawers slide well and are large enough to accommodate extra cords and equipment. It is moderately complex to assemble due to the drawers.

This unit has nice lines, and is higher quality than the price indicates. However, the bottom drawers are too shallow to hold CD's or DVD's with the titles showing !! This is a major flaw, in my estimation.

My husband put this tv stand together in a couple of hours and it looks great. I have no complaints.

As other raters have mentioned, the worst thing about this purchase was the assembly, which wasn't that difficult, just time-consuming. It took my husband and me about two hours from start to finish. There were a few places where we discovered we assembled something incorrectly and had to go back and re-do, but it was always an easy fix. The finished product is sturdy and looks quite handsome in our niche.

Product Review

Use the stand to hold 50 inch tv, in slots xbox,ps3, wii, remote and controllers. Wish the drawers were deep enough to place dvds vertical not horizontal. Some parts of the stand were heavy to lift on my own so need a buddy to build. Awsome if there were shelves for options to have four or three compartments instead of just two. Other than that the tv stand overall is great. Fits perfectly in between windows and just right height to be below the rim of my windows.

Service Review

The delivery was prompt and arrived in a week in good condition.

Nicely designed unit. It's easy to put together, even for a girl. It fits in well with my decor. The unit was packaged carefully for travel [...] I received alot of compliments since buying it and highly recommend it.

Although I measured when ordering I was surprised to see how large this was once it was assembled. What an awesome piece of furniture for the money! It's quite sturdy and seems well made, certainly well enough for holding large flat screen TV's. My son actually uses it for a large flat screen computer monitor which he uses while sitting on the edge of his bed. The screen is at the perfect height for use with his Wacom Tablet, so his neck is happy. We also got the matching desk which butts up against the TV stand and makes an L-shaped work station for him. The desk is higher than the stand which is perfect for him. He stores his computer tower, etc...under the desk. The TV stand has some nice cubbyholes and drawers for his other electronic needs. It has been very useful. We have had it for over a month now. The only cons I can think of are the difficult assembly. It wasn't complicated just time consuming and heavy. It took 2 people. The other thing is the fact that the back is not finished. In our case the back is the first thing you see when you walk into the room. It would have been nice to have that be black to match. There are also holes in the back which are obviously necessary. I think I would have positioned them a little lower. That's about it for negatives. Overall I am very pleased to find something this big and sturdy, in the correct color and with matching furniture, for the price it was offered.
