I dont normally write reviews, but this one just had to be done. First, let me tell you that I too searched Target, IKEA, etc. for a piece like this and couldnt find anything... plus IKEA took a lot of their tv stands off the market for some reason. I purchased this piece from a site that has free shipping on ezbuyfurniture.com. The site looks sketchy, but it is 100% legit. The package (~68 lbs.) arrived in exactly 5 business days.
PROS:
I have a 46 Samsung LED tv and it looks great on this stand!
Inexpensive price, but furniture is surprisingly sturdy
Stand is relatively slim, but not too slim
top shelf meant for two side-by-side boxes (i.e. Blu-ray player on left, cable box on right) with large hole for cables.
someone on another site said this thing was very hard to put together, NOT TRUE! This piece was easy to put together, instructions were all pictures, wood labeled numerically, and hardware labeled alphabetically.
all you need is a screw driver and damp cloth to wipe away excess glue (glue comes with kit)
CONS/Things I was not expecting:
-bottom shelf definitely meant for DVDs, VHS, anything thats not meant to be plugged in... unless you want to make another hole.
-my cable box just barely fits w/ door closed. I have a DirectTV box, but a box like Comcast or Verizon might not fit
-handles on doors are plastic and NOT metal, but they still look good.
Great little piece!
