I spent a lot of time shopping and didnt want to spend over 1,000 for a stand, which seems to be the going rate for a solid wood piece. (which are really only partially solid wood.)
I cautiously ordered this piece. Delivery was quick. Box showed some mishandling, but interior components were fine.
Assembly instructions were clear enough and I only needed help lifting it during the latter stages of assembly.
FYI, there are two supporting legs in the center that arent shown. They are placed half-way back and are not visible when looking at the piece.
Depth was a surprising problem for me. I have a new receiver that is 15 deep, but I didnt account for the additional space for the AV cables. So, I cut out a portion of the back panel to accommodate them and problem solved. This also provides additional ventilation and makes connections very easy, so I am happy with this solution. Cut out isnt visible either.
I had to place the receiver on the left side and cable box and bluray on right side in order for remote sensors to work through the glass. All work fine.
Be aware, the paint chips very easily, but can be touched up without any problems.
Overall, Im very happy with this stand. It looks great and was a great price!"..." Read more
