There is a big difference between TV stands and TV furniture, this is the latter.

Be advised this unit is BIG and HEAVY, even with the hidden wheels its tough to move fully loaded on carpet (as expected). Ventilation is good, not great, gear still gets hot. IR not affected by the glass.

All my gear fits inside with room to spare, Xbox 360, PS3, AVR (had amp and pre-pro in before, Wii, center channel, network hub and NAS, could easily fit a cable box + something else inside. Good wire management.

Doors will need adjustment upon arrival as noted in the manual, not difficult at all.

Fingerprint magnet! Gloss white probably not so much.

I'll assume this is just MDF with really nice glass and finish, which is too bad (unless it holds up) given the pricetag...but it was the only one that I liked the look of. I'm certain you could find something cheaper but equally nice.

The cabinet itself arrived with a broken hinge,however after contacting BDI directly they did send me a replacement.Its to be noted that this was done only after contacting them a second time asking "wheres that hinge you were sending me ".The cabinet itself is nice and is of good quality ,despite being made in china.As for the price,I would say its deffinately over priced.This being its biggest downfall.even a thousand dollars for this unit would be pushing it and I say this based on what else Ive seen around since my purchase at other furniture galleries. I purchased this unit sight unseen via internet and used its price as an indicator of what my expectations should be. I hope you find this review helpfull.
