This striking audio/video furniture with dynamic S-shaped sides is crafted of real curved wood in a beautiful Vibrant Espresso finish. It can accommodate most flat-panel HDTVs up to 55" or 125 lbs., plus at least four audio/video components on the tinted tempered safety glass shelves. Accented by its elegant Black Chrome posts, this model features a CMS Cable Management System to hide and manage unsightly interconnect cables and power cords. The open architecture provides plenty of ventilation for convection cooling of components.

Solid Frame Construction

The Bell'O CW343 is designed to accommodate four audio video components in addition to your large HDTV. The top shelf will hold flat-panel HDTVs up to 55" and handle up to 125 lbs., so it will work with the most popular size models on the market today. The two lower fixed tempered glass component shelves can be used for your audio video components or even a center channel speaker if you are setting up a surround sound system in your home.

Bell'O's Cable Management System (CMS) Hides Unsightly Cables and Wires

CMS (Cable Management System) is a Bell'O-exclusive design element which hides unsightly wiring so your equipment is handsomely shown and enhances your home decor. Having a powerful home theater is great, but with it comes many cables and connections that can get in the way of the full home theater experience. Bell'O's CMS is a simple, easy-to-use method of organizing all those cables to ensure no unsightly wires take away from your home decor. Now you can have a home theater that's as beautiful as it is powerful.

The color and design remain consistent and you are not faced with obsolescence as you add components to your entertainment or home office location.

First time we bought a media unit online and we are very happy with our choice. The unit is exactly like the picture. It is very stylish (the curve of the woods and misty black glass) and my husband put it together by himself within an hour.

3.0 out of 5 stars Quite a bit of early troubles, but absolutely gorgeous once assembled, December 17, 2011

Placed an order for the stand through Amazon on November 25. Delivery was slated for December 2, and thus I had planned to be home that entire day so that I could receive the shipment. However, the package came a day early and I wasn't home to receive it. But rather than redelivering the package, the shipper (OnTrac) just left it at the front of my house, leaving it open for anyone to walk away with it. Of course, with the stand being such a heavy item (80 lbs. according to Amazon), I realize it'd be difficult for anyone to actually take it, but still...I don't like the idea of my packages lying outside on the curb all day like that.

After pushing and lugging the package up my stairs, it was time to take out all the parts and assemble the stand. Just one problem......no instructions were included inside! So I went to Bello's website to find the instructions. To do this: (1) go to their website and in the "Product Number Search" box, type the product number, in this case being "CW343." (2) Click on the item and click on the tab labeled "Product Related Documents." There, you should find a PDF with the assembly instructions.

So now that I had the instructions in hand, I was ready to get started. All the parts (or package of parts) that make up the stand have unique numbers that are supposed to correspond to the instructions. This would ordinarily be very, very helpful towards completing the assembly of the stand.

Unfortunately for me, the part numbers in my package did not match up with the instructions from Bello. So I went through all the parts and tried to match them up by the pictures in the instructions, and after doing that, I realized the problem. It turns out that in the package I had, Bello consolidated two packages of screws [Part #DSYF3 and DSYF4, being (2x) 28mm screws and (2x) 32mm screws, respectively] into a single package (Part #DSYF3) of 4x of one of the aforementioned screws. As a result, almost every single one of my product numbers was off by one number compared to the part numbers in the instructions (e.g., DSYF4 in my box of parts was labeled DSYF5 in the instructions, 5 was labeled 6, 6 labeled 7...and you get the idea). It's possible that I may have received an old package, as the instructions listed on Bello's website were dated November 30, 2011. Still, having such a discrepancy was highly inconvenient.

Once I realized the problem with the parts labeling, I had to adjust every product number in the steps listed in the instructions in order to have them correspond properly to my product numbers. In light of this discrepancy, I felt I had to be even more cautious with assembly. I think I ended up spending three hours over the course of two days assembling the stand, though I felt like it would have taken about an hour if the aforementioned issues were not present.

The actual assembly of the item was relatively straightforward, though I admittedly messed up an early step (twice). However, fixing that error didn't take too long. The glass panes are the heaviest items of the package by far. While it would be helpful to have another person help with assembly, particularly the placement of the glass panes, it really doesn't have to be a two-person job. I handled the assembly by myself without damaging any of the parts, and in the end, the stand came out just fine.

As a completed product, the stand looks absolutely beautiful, and after all the troubles I went through, it was definitely nice to see the completed stand in all its wondrous glory.

In all, I'd give the purchase a 3- or 3.5-star rating. The product itself has been fine, at least for the two weeks that I've had it thus far. At the end of the day, I think it's a lovely stand. Most, if not all, of the other reviews by other Amazon purchasers have been very positive. The knockdown in my overall rating comes from all the issues that I've mentioned above.

Hope this review gives you at least some insight into the possible pre-assembly issues you could face.

The product arrived with the box slightly damaged in shipping, but the contents were well packed with cardboard and styrofoam such that there was no damage to the furniture pieces. The instructions were easy to understand and assembly only took about 50 minutes. The furniture looks very nice and is of high quality construction (solid wood, metal and glass pieces). We are very pleased with the quality and the purchase.
