Whether catching the evening news before getting ready to hit the hay or cheering on your favorite team during the big game, your entertainment area plays an important role in your abode. Showcasing clean lines and an understated construction, this TV stand is the perfect pick for any mid-century-inspired space or contemporary setting. It’s crafted from manufactured wood awash in a solid finish, and features three drawers and a large open shelf for keeping movies, media players, a cable box, and more!
Well...it started out as a disaster when after unpacking all the parts from two substantial boxes there was no hardware to put the “Bryant” (not Zac) Media Stand together. So I had to wait “a week and half” (?) while they came in. (US Postal Service Priority Mail would have only taken 3 days!) Then, it went together fairly easily after making one minor hardware part correction (which was easy to figure from the detailed picture of it) in the instructions.
After it was all together, there were the following defects: a chip in the top left back corner (#1) and a chip in the middle shelf, left front corner (#2), which were covered over with Bic “Wite-Out” correction fluid (for paper) from a CVS Pharmacy because of its matte finish and no matte fingernail polish was available because the beauty salon stores were closed during our COVID-19 situation. (Can’t imagine how one would correct them if it was the wood finish?)
Next, the two outer drawers were misaligned (i.e., the outer corners were tipped upwards [#3 & 4]), which after considerable experimentation finally resulted in simply undoing the 3 large screws with the provided Allen wrench, that held the vertical inner support piece (#5), that held the outer drawer guides and lowering them 1/4”, and then reattaching the supports. (It would have been nice if the Chinese manufacturer recommended doing that in their instructions to save someone time...if it was an issue.)
When its done, the TV/media stand looks nice, the polyester paint finish is beautiful, durable and easy to maintain. Since it is only 18 1/2” high, the top of the TV screen is below one’s eye level when sitting in a chair, which is VERY good for maintaining eye lubrication and comfort and preventing “dry-eye” from looking straight ahead or above at such screens (i.e., my 32” TV doubles as my computer monitor).
Would suggest that Wayfair use the correct name of the product, that appears on their invoice and reference documentation, as well as the packaging.
