3.0 out of 5 stars
Superior looks, inferior durability., December 18, 2009
This review is from: Bell'O WAVS-327 Espresso Finish Audio Video Cabinet (Electronics)
The Good: When properly put together, it'd be difficult to tell by sight that it isn't a $2000 piece of handcrafted cabinetry. It looks simply fantastic, and the tabletop has a nice solid feel to it unlike the PCB of the remainder of the construction. Granted it's really nice particle board, but it's still veneered PCB.
The Bad: The storage compartment shelves are glass, which seems an odd choice considering the center shelving is wood. I would have preferred something more solid in there, especially once my toddler finds out that the doors open.
The Ugly: The veneer is very delicate. My left door came horribly scratched and peeled due to rough handling (either in transit or in the warehouse) and the foot of one entire rear corner had come off entirely. In the three days I've owned it, my son has put some deep gashes in the side with a foam&plastic toy car. Make sure you keep some wood glue and a brown marker handy (the marker they supplied me with was bone dry and wouldn't color in the white scratches).
