Once I got it all assembled, I am pleased with the product.

It has clean lines, great wood grain and color. It really looks like furniture you would purchase from a furniture store. I've put 2 coats of Old English furniture polish on it already :) and I am very pleased.

I found the installation instructions a little "abstract" at first, but once I got out all the parts and matched them up with the pictures, the concept come together. I would recommend that you DO NOT use a power screwdriver tool, due to the screws are pretty soft and may cause stripping the screw heads--all are Philips screws.

I found no damages but that could be because I went to the Circuit City store and picked it up myself, rather than it being shipped via ground shipping to me. The outer cardboard box it comes in is not heavy enough for something that weights nearly 100 pounds. The box is too flimsy to take much rough handling. I can see if it has to endure much handling in shipping, the outer cardboard could weaken and become mashed.

It took me between 1 and 1.5 hrs to assemble, but I took a few breaks in between.

Based on the cost and it's style, appearance, and functionality; I would definitely recommend it to others and would consider purchasing similar pieces from Tech Craft.

I decided to check this model out at my local Sears before purchasing online. Boy, am I glad I did.

First of all, every joint needs to be reinforced with wood glue (not included). Don't think you are simply going to put this together with the hardware that's included and it is going to stay that way. You need the wood glue to reinforce all of those joints.

As for the material, it is pretty solid composite pressboard with a VERY thin wood "veneer" on it. I nicked the "veneer" with my thumbnail easily. If you have kids or expect to set things on this without leaving a mark, you are out of your mind! The material itself seems very sturdy...this is no paper-thin pressboard and is a heavy unit, but it's appearance is not going to stand up to much. In addition, the doors use cheap hinges and do not fit squarely.

Also, this unit is very short. My wife said it looked too small even for our tiny living room.

There are some good things about this piece: The shelves are adjustable and can fit pretty much any component you have, it LOOKS great, and the material can physically (NOT cosmetically) probably stand up to a bit of use.

Think carefully before buying this. It may be great for your first apartment, but if you are looking for furniture that is going to last you for 5-10 years, this is certainly not what you want. It LOOKS great when it is freshly assembled, but that won't last long.

I'm very pleased with this product. Because of earlier comments, I was concerned about the shipping and assembly. But it came packed very well, with individual pieces separated as needed by styrofoam. As for assembly, all the parts were in bubble packs and easy to identify, and the instructions were clear. There is a lot to assemble, but it went together in a straightforward manner. All dimensions were very accurate.

I'm very satisfied with the product.
