After the order was placed, the product arrived incredibly fast which was terrific since it was part of my son's college graduation present! It certainly met my son's expectations. It was easy to assemble; the finished product looks very nice matching his phonograph perfectly.

I received this item promply. I started to put it together, and had missing hardware, and defective parts.I phoned Crosley, and odered the parts that I needed, but they never came. I ordered them again, and they got here twelve days later.The poor workmanship, plus poor customer service from Crosley, from the time that I made my order, to the time it took to get enough, and good parts here, I finally got my item put together, and useable in about 40 days. I will never order another Crosley item.

There was a brochure of Crosley products which came with my paprika record player I purchased at Target. I really liked this stand and found it online. I ordered it and it arrived fast. It was easy to assemble and looks beautiful under my matching player. Love it!

Great hardware would have made this a great stand. The wood is great. The design is great. It's the perfect little stand to go with my Crosley nostalgic stereo. It was even easy to put together, at least, as far as the instructions went. The only problem is the poor quality hardware that comes with it. A couple of the cam locks were broken, the cams screws were cheaply made, and the knob for the door was missing. I chose a knob that I like better at a local retailer. Unfortunately, the cam locks are unique, so you can't run out to the local hardware store and get a couple quickly to finish the project. It would serve Crosley well to find another supplier for the hardware and get a higher quality that lives up to their product. The only other thing that I would change about the stand is to make it approximately 1/4"-1/2" taller, so that the top shelf has enough space to store 45rpm (single) records.

It's a nice stand and it's attractive. I like that it is made from real wood and not particle board. It's semi-sturdy but I wouldn't put anything other than the record player on it. The door doesn't shut very well as the magnet has no real strength. I think in the coming years the whole piece will loosen and it will eventually have to be trashed but for now it's a nice addition to our living room and is getting put to good use.

The shipping for this item from Amazon was very quick and arrived in good condition, no scuffs, no missing pieces, no damage. Assembly was relatively easy except for the attachment of the door and hinge to the rest of the unit. This was made easier by first driving the screws halfway into the pre-drilled holes on the door frame. Then after driving the first screw at the top through the hinge and into the now easier to find hole, I put a screw in the bottom of the door hinge to hold the entire door roughly in place so as to make each screw thereafter easier to properly drive.

Overall, this product arrived in good condition, was easy to assemble (2/5 in difficulty), and looks good with the matching Paprika record player. It holds a fair amount of LPs on the bottom shelf and CDs/cassettes on the top shelf. The magnetic door clasp does not work well, but the door does not have a tendency to open anyway, so really that's a non-issue.

I looked for a while for a good stand to match my record player and hold my records before I discovered Crosley made one to match my turntable. I'm glad I decided to wait for something "right" because this is it.

Extremely pleased with my purchase! I actually had to return it for the oak one, but only because I had ordered the wrong color. Easy to assemble, sturdy, and looks great! Efficient use of space.

Love the stand. Great purchase and easy to put together. Would recommend to everyone.

I saw mixed reviews here so hesitated to order it. But after looking at options, this seemed to be the best value for the price. It does the job well and holds quite a few LPs.

QUALITY: Just one minor scratch I touched up. The wood doesn't match the entertainment center because it is Paprika when I needed Mahogany (in which they don't make) but it's close enough in a room where almost everything is of different woods. The shelf and back are pressed wood but that's not a big deal for me. It's sturdy so no skipping when playing LPs.

ASSEMBLY: The instructions were not the best but it went together fairly easy. Be sure to take the time to read well and have the correct tools. The trickiest part was the door and inserting the tiny hinge screws. There's not a lot of call for the size screwdriver required.

I think the price of this is a bit high but, as I mentioned earlier, could not find anything better for less. I originally purchased a $49 version of the Crosley table from Target and took it back after assembling it. The extra $50 for this was worth it.

I recently purchased the Crosley stand and was excited about my purchase until I tried putting it together. It is extremely difficult and it comes in a million pieces. I called the help line so they can walk you through the assembly process. It was useless to me because you can only reach them during the week, up until a certain time.. I spent my time talking to a person on the job, while at work. It's pointless when you don't have the product in front of you. I think it should be indicated that there is a large amount of assembly required. For the price I paid, it should have come put together.

I still have it sitting in a box in my living room.
