The cabinet and wood finish looks nice, and as advertised the piece is made out of real wood. Once I had the thing built, I was pretty happy with it, but I found the building experience to be pretty disappointing.

The pieces showed up in a flat pack box Ikea style, but I have to say that the assembly didn't proceed as smoothly as what I'm used to. The construction is mostly wood pegs and wood screws, and the thing showed up short two pegs. I had the general impression as I unpacked the box that little care went into making sure everything needed was in there. The two sheets from the assembly instructions were on opposite ends of the box, which was a minor annoyance. Finally, one of the shelves showed up with the paneling lifted, necessitating quite a bit of glue to fix.

At the end of the day, I like the furniture.... but I was pretty irritated with it while I was putting it together.

Read my whole review before buying--buyer beware

I bought this, spent an hour assembling. Upon final glance, edges did not meet, corners did not touch, and I could see light beaming through the edges. So I started back at square one. I told myself hey--don't get worked up, you just didn't tighten this or that or didn't do something right.

Oh no--a bit later, assembled again, it was in fact, not a 'square' piece of furniture as in edges don't meet properly or align and I'm pissed.

I can't even begin to express how frustrating it is to spend almost two hours with the POS tv stand only for it to be such shoddy construction.

Then I told myself I'd never buy Winsome again. But wait--I had forgotten I bought a Winsome night stand, which when assembled cracked within a week. Also, lets not forget the bookcase I bought, also in the Espresso color, which doesn't match this 'Espresso' color at all.

I thought about disassembling it and shipping the crap back to Amazon, but that would be a ton of work, and then I'd likely get shipped back out another 'made in thailand' piece of crap.

I have to say, I'm not a frequent review writer, but how terrible this product is urged me to get online right away and let others know so they dont make the same mistake.

Winsome--your product downright sucks. I'm the average consumer and hey--guess what--I will NEVER buy anything from you again.

This is a decent looking stand for a low price. The quality isn't top grade by any means but, for $150 bucks it's not bad. If you are looking for a nice furniture piece, you'll have to pay the extra $$$.

The product actually built with SOLID wood which is something I am really appreciate (for the price I paid). However, the assembling will take some effort. I personally take myself as a pretty handy man and it still took me 3 times to get it done perfectly. 3 times means I found the mis-alignment and had to re-assemble 3 times. Fortunately, once you familiar with the assemble procedure, it took me only 15 minutes to take it apart and re-adjust and re-assemble. One big hint for those who prepare to assemble: be sure to insert those small wood joints (about 12-15 pieces)completely into the spaces. You may need a small hammer. And you can tell if the joint did go all the way by listening to the sound. Trust me, this will save you some time.

After all, this is a great product. I love it! It match perfect with my 37" Phillip LCD.

I selected two day shipping. Once the item actually shipped, it did arrive in 2 days. However, it took three days to ship from the time of order. The shippind delay put a kink in my week.
