The Tech Craft BAY4828B - 48" Wide A/V Entertainment Center (black) was a perfect choice to support a black 42" LCD TV in the corner of our 24' x 16' family room. Its rich appearance and quality of construction make it a good deal for the price. Also, it's a rarity to have the option of both open and closed shelves in a TV stand. We keep a cable TV DVR and a DVD player on the convenient open shelf and Wii accessories and DVDs on the two shelves protected by the glass doors. (Our Wii sits hidden behind the TV on one side of the stand, which makes it convenient to charge and grab the controllers.)

Note that this stand affords a somewhat higher position than most for your TV, which is especially great for the Wii (It may also be advantageous for folks with toddlers and dogs, in lessening their access to the TV screen.). Its solid stance and ample depth reassures that flatscreen TVs will rest stably.

Assembly was straightforward for one person with a few simple tools. Some of the pieces are heavy, which is a testament to its quality. There was one minor flaw -- a top rear corner was bent slightly upward. Overall, we cannot be happier with our purchase.

I was very concerned about ordering furniture online (particularly one with glass). But this piece looked like it was exactly what I wanted... perfect size, height, and with glass cabinet doors.

The first package came damaged... but that was totally the fault of my UPS driver. (When I went out there to help him unload the package, I saw that another box had fallen on top of it and created a big gash in the carton which damaged almost every individual piece inside the box.) I called Amazon and they immediately had UPS come and pick up the package at their expense, and also immediately scheduled delivery of a new one. AMAZON ROCKS! When the UPS driver came to pick up the damaged one, I asked him politely to do whatever he could to make sure the same thing didn't happen to the replacement one that should be arriving in a few days.

Second time was a charm... absolutely no damage. I'm so glad that I gave it a second shot. It looks great, and it feels really solid. It took a little over 2 hours to put together, mostly due to the number of bolts and pins used to hold it all together (plus, the doors were a little bit of a pain to get on). But after it was all built, I was pleased that the doors closed tightly and were properly aligned. Also note that there were NO misaligned holes or anything like that, a manufacturing defect that seemed to have been an issue with a similar Techcraft product in the past.

I couldn't be happier with this entertainment center, especially for the price. I uploaded the dimension specs sheet to the "customer images" area for this product, and I'll be uploading photos of the assembled product shortly as well.

Based on other reviews here, I ordered this item fully expecting it to arrive damaged. I was not disappointed. The box UPS delivered looked like it was dragged behind the truck on a rainy day. Only one part was actually damaged, but it was a front corner of the top shelf and very obvious. So I went to Techcraft's web site and put in a request for a new top. Six days later the replacement part arrived, free of charge and in perfect condition - and delivered by FedEx instead of UPS.

Assembly was easy compared to other knocked-down furniture I've had in the past. The only sort of tricky part was aligning the doors, but a little patience and following the directions resulted in perfectly aligned and perfectly closing doors. I assembled it without a helper, there was no need for an extra set of hands. One nice thing was all the parts are held together with hidden screws, not those cam-lock things that tend to break.

The black finish is decent quality, and all the parts except the back are some kind of hardwood. The back panel is particle board but it's nicely finished and thick. Overall the quaility is better than I expected and it doesn't look like build-it-yourself furniture, in fact it looks better than most units that cost 2 or 3 times as much. It's also very sturdy.
