Nice looking media stand after proper assembly but with a few flaws. Assembly issues: Dowel holes too large-Loose fitting requires glue to correct for fit. Screw hole too small causing splitting in a few areas (Not visible once assembled) and a little extra work to get together. Top of unit has many flaws due to poor prep before paint. This is not the character of real wood but the lack of planing/sanding to a level finish. This is arguably the most visible piece and should have been a priority in the quality of the finished product. Not really noticeable from a distance in my room but still disappointing. Probably would get 5 stars if the top board was finished correctly. No shipping damage/Packaged well. Included spare hardware and good instructions.
I agree with all the positive reviews. This is a solid piece of furniture. You also have the option of NOT putting some of the drawers on. I did not put the smaller drawers on so I can display decorations. Very happy with this purchase!
The only difficulty assembling was when i was putting the backing on. Vey important to have all pieces laid out before securing. It is tight and fits like an OJ Simpson glove. It also lines up the half predrilled holes to the accompanying pieces with a half predrilled hole. I did need to use a drill on the backing to start the hole into the console as these were not predrilled. Other than that, the instructions and parts were easy to follow.
love the look of this tv stand and a good value for the price. Assembly was a little painful (my neighbor and I took over three hours to do the job), but once assembled it looked great !
The entertainment stand is just as described and very sturdy and attractive. Putting it together did take quite a bit of time and patience - just a lot of pieces.
The TV stand is well made and was as described. We like it very much and are very happy with it . The only negative was that the wooden dowels were either to small or the pre drilled holes for them were to big. The directions said you may need a rubber mallet to install the dowels but they were to loose and were needed to aline the parts before screwing them together. However that being the only problem I would recommend this stand to anyone. Definitely well worth it. We are thinking of ordering the matching coffee table. Thank you SMPLI HOME! .
Plan for several hrs of assembly. Aligning the doors are not easy and unlike my other furniture the doors on these don’t close flush leaving gaps. Lot of improvements can be made to simplify assembly & improve finish
