Ill preface this by saying I am the worlds least handy person. In the past, assemble-at-home furniture has driven me into a panic. So for people like me, fear not this thing is actually pretty straightforward to assmemble. I wont say easy since it still took us about three hours, but the instructions were clearly laid out.
A few small tips that may make assembly easier:
1) When putting in the middle two vertical pieces (4 and 5), the size of the pre-drilled holes for the screws is different on the bottom (where you attach to the bottom horizontal support) and the top (where you attach to the top horizonal support)
2) When putting in the vertical pieces, REALLY tighten the screws
3) When attaching the doors, you insert the bottom hinge into the plastic hole (I think its piece N), and then slide the door in (its kind of worded that way but a little unclear).
All in all, were really happy with this piece. It looks great, has a ton of storage space, and is a good height for our 55 TV.
Happy shopping!
Exceptional value and as pictured - would re-purchase in a heartbeat. Already received two compliments from friends. It was perfect given our limited budget AND they shipped to Hawaii.
I read a lot of the reviews before buying so I was not expecting this to be a high quality product. The edges arrived chipped and part of the back has a small hole. However, for the price and for an apartment this is perfect. Be gentle when putting together and be patience and the end product is too shabby! This looks great in our living room!
Instruction were easy to follow and it can easily be done by one person. It took me about an hour to put it together, the hardest part was putting on the two cabinet doors. When I was done assembling the stand, I immediately noticed how sturdy it was.
My TV stand came out absolutely perfectly, the second time I got one. For the first one, it was delivered by UPS and the policy in my building was they have to drop at door, on the third floor. Well, if you get one of these you will realize that without an elevator thats just cruel and unusual for one person, its an awkward and heavy package (90lbs.). So, needless to say the first one was all cracked up when I opened it up, even after seeing the guy struggling and helping him get it up the last set of stairs. Returning was a PITA, since then I had to enlist a friend to help me get it to the nearest UPS.. But, I returned it with a pre-shipped replacement, specifically said it had to go to the front office, and when I picked it up from there it was totally unscathed. Assembly took a while, even with a decent tool set, but if you take your time the end result is absolutely worth it. Very nice looking and very sturdy! This piece really does have nice construction quality for a fiberboard piece. Also, if you are looking to put a center speaker on that shelf, the Klipsch R-34C fits PERFECTLY, like you will have to slowly ease it in like an iPhone box kind of fit, 26 exactly of width, and a 26 width speaker.
This is a great looking TV stand with a couple of issues to note. First of all, the good. Its very stylish and relatively sturdy (for particle board furniture). The assembly instructions are very well laid out and I like all parts and hardware were labeled (unlike that Swedish company!) Now for the not so good. THE DOOR HINGES! Im not sure why they cheaped out so much on the cabinet door hinges, but they are almost impossible to install correctly and VERY flimsy once you do get them adjusted. I spent almost an hour on installing the doors alone, they are very tricky to get the doors aligned. I eventually had to get larger screws because I had removed and replaced the hinge screws so many times, the holes got too big. Overall a 4 star product due to the door assembly issues.

Not too shabby for the price!
