This is a good looking unit, particularly for a reasonably priced DIY assembly. The assembly was amazingly easy with a unique clip system. The instructions said it was a 2 person job. I was able to assemble by myself, just took a little longer that the instructions indicated. The instructions were well written and clearly outlined the steps that were needed to put it together. I am not a fan of self assembly, but this system could make a convert out of me.
I assembled this beauty today (been sitting in the garage in a box since May) and found the Lightning Fast Assembly to be a little troublesome. I couldnt convince the parts to slide, so I went back to the garage, grabbed a can of WD40 and a rubber mallet. With some lubrication and some mild pounding, they cooperated.
That said, I like the assembly method overall. Much nicer than the usual cam-lock nonsense. I did not screw the middle shelves in, nor did I add the anti-toppling gear. There are no children in this house, and this is definitely a low-center-of-gravity unit anyways. I doubt I could even topple it. Tomorrow, the gear gets moved over to it finally. Very nice unit, seems to be solid wood (not sure what species - something native to Vietnam would be my guess).
The packaging was surprisingly solid (and too heavy for one person to handle well unless youre quite strong). I had to open the box downstairs and carry all the pieces up to the master bedroom for assembly as I did not have a helper around today. Tomorrow Ill clean up the mess of wrapping foam and styrofoam. Im too tired.
I hate MDF, especially since companies are now trying to dupe customers be referring to manufactured wood as simply wood. Let the buyer beware, as many companies have zero scruples about their advertising.
Im done with my rant. This stand is very well built, with none of that glued wood dust covered by a veneer. The only non-wood I found was the top. I dont know what to call that material, but it is sturdy, heavy, and hard, resistant to scratching or denting.
It looks great and we get many compliments on it.
It was assembled by a friend who is a carpenter. Assembly includes a step in which you attach 2 pieces via a locking mechanism. It was about impossible to do by hand, but he quickly got a rubber mallet and that got the job done quickly.
I really like this entertainment center. The electric fire looks as real as an electric fire can. It is sturdy. My daughter said it wasnt too difficult to put together although the instructions are incomplete.
This piece of furniture is gorgeous, sturdy, extremely functional (spacious cupboards, adjustable shelves, holes for cords in the back of the cubby section, easy to clean). The way that it is assembled is unlike anything I have ever seen, its a combination of locking pieces. SO EASY and, again, beautiful as well. One of the best home purchases I have ever made. I also purchased the side tables, which are also lovely and sturdy! Make sure you measure your space because they are also quite large.
Sturdy. Beautiful. Perfect for my beach cottage themed house. I’m In love. But the set up said 10 minutes to assemble. But I would say more like 30. But it was a easy assemble!! Absolutely perfect and will last!

Sturdy and attractive. Highly recommend.
