Most of the assembly is fine, but the door hinges were annoying and time-consuming. The manual says you dont need a drill, but the holes for the hinges arent fully pre-drilled, so if you dont own a drill you basically need to force the screws into creating holes with your screwdriver. It is as frustrating and time-consuming as it sounds. The product as a whole is perfectly fine though, I just dont know why they couldnt make the hinges simpler
Was originally sent the wrong tv stand but I didnt realize it until I was 75% done with putting it together so Im knocking off one star for that. When the correct tv stand arrived I was super excited! Was very easy to put together just like the other one. Love the color and finish. Lots of storage!!
Packed very smartly, arrived with no damage at all. Assembly is tedious, and you MUST look at direction photos closely, perhaps with a magnifying glass, to supplement the words and not make mistakes, but bottom line is that the directions are accurate. Im pretty handy and did it alone in 2-3 hours. Final look is better than I expected, respectable fit and finish, not cheapo-looking. Sturdy enough as media console, but I would not load up with heavy weight.
The 70 console came undamaged, with all parts including extra parts in a separate package. Good job on parts identified by letters. Instructions were clear.
It looks nice with our TV and sound bar.
Beautiful. Easy to assemble and well worth the price. We assembled it in an hour. Package came destroyed but the product was well packed and therefore no piece was damaged. We love it. We ordered the 70inch stand for our 55 inch tv. We are so glad we made this purchase for our first home.
Black Friday. Brand new 85 Samsung QLED. Now where to put it?
Typically I dont wall-mount TVs. I guess after years of living in apartments I prefer not to drill into walls. Ive always used stands. So I planned to do the same this time. The tricky part was to find a stand big enough to accommodate a TV this size (and weight). This was the biggest stand I could find (its listed as supporting 80 TVs, 200+lbs) and I liked the simple yet elegant aesthetic with the nice wood grain.
Assembly of furniture like this (TV stands, computer desks etc) is always tedious. Lots of pieces, plenty of screwing and Allen key twisting required. This was one of the easier units Ive assembled. I did it mostly by myself; my wife tried to help with some steps but ended up getting in the way more than anything. It took about 2 hours total, including a couple of unrelated interruptions. Theres one step where you need some strength to really push in 8 screws while twisting. That was the hardest part. Everything else was pretty simple. There are lots of parts, but they come individually bagged and labeled with letters which makes it very easy to find the piece you need for each step. The manual was pretty easy to follow. If youve put together several pieces of similar furniture, and have strong hands and arms/shoulders (arms/shoulders for pushing down hard while screwing) you should be able to get it done in about 90 mins if fully focused or about an hour if you have an assistant.
As mentioned previously, I purchased this unit in part because it was the biggest one I could find and can accommodate 200+ lbs. Theres a caveat here. My new TVs built-in stand is one single piece that goes under the TV in the center. Since I planned on standing my TV directly on top of the stand instead of mounting it to the wall, guess what my issue was. All the weight of the TV lands in a small area right in the middle of the wooden TV stand. 100+ lbs of TV resting on the middle of a long wooden plankit sagged down a bit in the middle. There is no support down the center of the stand, so it will sag if you place a very heavy object in the middle. Now it wasnt THAT bad, maybe I couldve left it like that, but I didnt like the idea of my $3K brand new TV sagging down the middle of the stand. So I took it off the stand, and hired local TV mounting pros the next day. Great decision. They did a great job, and the TV and stand look great - no more sagging.
The back of the stand also has nicely placed holes for cables towards the top instead of in the middle like other stands. This makes them pretty much invisible unless you sit down right in front of it. The cabinets are pretty roomy, as is the glass shelf middle compartment. For now I dont have the need for any other media equipment so its pretty empty. Maybe a PS5 will look nice in there
The unit is sturdy. It has 6 feet, including 2 in the middle for plenty of support. I layed across the top of the stand once I finished assembling it (I weigh 220lbs) and it felt solid.
So I highly recommend this unit - just make sure if you plan on standing your TV on top of it instead of wall mounting, ensure that the TVs stand splits the weight of the TV to each side instead of one stand in the middle to avoid the sagging issue.
5 stars.

Very sturdy unit
Assembly was accomplished with minor adjustments.
Product is good, but some of the assembly is needlessly difficult

Recommended!
It took me about two hours to assemble. This is a great product totally recommended.
TV stand.
I like it it looks very pretty. It looks exactly the way it did on the picture online.
Parts labeled clearly
The 70 console came undamaged, with all parts including extra parts in a separate package. Good job on parts identified by letters. Instructions were clear. It looks nice with our TV and sound bar.
Money well spent
