I usually don't write reviews for things but I was compelled to write one for this just to warn people. So I was pretty excited to get this item for my new home but unfortunately during assembly, things just didn't fit together.

First of all, it's more of a lighter reddish brown than what is shown in the picture. Having dark brown hardwood floors, this makes it look pretty awkward. The installation part was also pretty painful. There were pre-drilled holes that weren't big enough for the cam screws it came with. I had to use a filer to sand down the holes to make things fit. I also had to use the provided wood glue for the dowels. It's not that big of a problem, but it was something that caught me off guard.

The most FRUSTRATING part was when it was time to slide the drawer into the unit...IT JUST DIDN'T FIT!! I followed the instructions and made sure the bearings were slid to the front before inserting and it just didn't fit. After about an hour I was finally able to force it in, but by then the sides of the drawer were heavily scraped up on the sides by the rails. The box it came with was already pretty banged up and I don't know how easy it is to break down the item to return it (wood glue in various parts). So I guess I'm stuck w/a $400+ item that looks funny in my living room. I truly regret getting this. =(

I have owned this tv stand for almost a year and i love it! I was looking for a stylish stand that wouldn't cost a small fortune and waited for this stand to be back in stock when I found it. It was very simple to put together and everything fit perfectly. Would buy it again.

I love this stand. I still have to assemble it, but can't wait to use this stand I've been dreaming about purchasing. The only problem so far was delivery, because they left it in my backyard for who knows how many hours, leaning against the side of my house where water tends to collect during those real big snow storms we had here in Michigan 2011. The box was heavy as can be due to the saturated cardboard, we had to drag it in because it was too heavy to lift. I was prepared to have to send it back thinking that it had to be ruined. But from what can see of what I had removed from the box so far, there was minor damage to one little inside piece of a wood panel; I hope there isn't more. With it's classic lines; I anticipate using this stand for a very long time.
