Love our TV stand
on April 15, 2018
Posted by: Frank
We got our TV Stand delivered today around noon started right away putting it together took my time after reading a lot of reviews and problems people had. I followed the instructions except I read a tip if installing the flip door to its shelf after building the draw. Glad I did i can see it would be difficult to do later on as in the instruction. Very happy with the product and only ran into one problem, I had 1 broken door hinge but was still able to use it until I get a replacement. the wood is very soft so take care when putting you tv and other components on it, I had no problems there with just was very careful.

Very Poor Quality Control
on October 2, 2021
Posted by: Damian
I read many positive reviews, but the product I received was nowhere near what some of the other reviewers wrote. This is by far one of the worse self assembly pieces I have ever purchased. When I opened the box, the face on the bottom section was not installed correctly, it was partially coming apart and nails were protruding. Fortunately I am handy with wood working so I clamped them back together with some wood glue, however I'll now need to touch up the finish from the sloppy nailing. Many parts of the finish are inconsistent and nicked or chipped. Both of these issues could not have happened in shipping. I can only attribute it to poor quality control which a third grader could have noticed. One of the side boards is slightly bowed so there is a small gap on the inside of one of the cabinets where the base and side of the cabinet connect. I am not sure what kind of wood this is, but it splits very easy. Three of the boards cracked as I was inserting the screws to assemble them (before I even tightened them up). Again, I did a little repair work to fix those. They couldn't even label all the parts correctly. The legs were mislabeled as doors and the main center section was labeled as "C" when it should have been "G". Two stars is being generous only because I can still use this in my basement rec room and I have other distressed farmhouse style furniture so this doesn't look obviously flawed. However, I would never buy this to be a showcase piece of furniture in my main living room. I am very disappointed in the quality of this purchase and there must be other much better products out there at this price point.

It’s just “Okay"
on May 3, 2021

Quality control on this was marginal at best. The bottom ledger board was split apart and nailed very sloppy. It could not have happened during shipping because everything looked to be packed that way in the box. I had to glue and clamp the pieces back together overnight. The finish is was also sloppy which required me to touch up a bunch of the seams. Assembly instructions are also poorly written. There are so many parts and pieces and you have to get the middle boards in exactly the correct direction - which is very hard to see in the instructions. Overall, I have purchased much better products at this price point.

Twin stands that both look great
on July 12, 2018
Posted by: John
The process and the unit were both very good - good company and they do have good support that you can reach without any delays. We purchased two of these units and both were in good condition when we got them. There was a minor, highly visible ding on the top front face of the unit, but we worked with the customer service team and worked out a solution that was acceptable to all of us. We like the two units very much - in the same room - either side of a floor to ceiling fireplace stone wall.

Many problems with drill holes and wood cracks
on November 10, 2023
Posted by: Oceangirl
from Florida
Gender:Female
Length of ownership:1 week
Many of the drill holes were not lined up well and needed to be repositioned slightly. A couple of pieces had cracks in the wood. Instructions were sometimes hard to follow and sequencing of construction could have been better. For example: hinges on fold down door should be done before the piece is assembled because they become less accessible after constructing and then you need a very short screwdriver or other tool adaptation. Bottom front strip was already attached but was missing a screw and one screw was stripped so it was hanging down. It will take about 6 hours to construct with 2 people if you are concerned about appearance of the piece.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Love It!!!
on July 31, 2018

The box containing the "Warm Shaker / Norfolk / Lexington 72" TV Media stand" arrived yesterday. I was on my own to put it together. I'm nearly 60 but I've put together scores of things in the past & I have a mechanical mind - so what the heck! The finished product is fabulous. It looks like a expensive piece of furniture. Solid wood, no particle board. The hardware was complete and even a zip lock bag called "extras"! The holes always lined up beautifully with the hardware & a number of the parts arrived partially assembled. (Yay!) The directions were clear, the parts worked well and the piece came together beautifully. The only comparable TV/ media stand that was similar in style cost more than twice - so assembling it to save serious $$ was well worth the effort.

72 Inch TV Wide Media Stand AXCRWSH72
on October 28, 2021
Posted by: S
Overall happy with the product. We did assembly ourselves and it was very time consuming. Several issues during assembly: (a) Manufacturer should provide a gauge or at least specify how much of the Cam Lock Pins (part 2) should be exposed after placing them in the designated holes. If the pins are inserted too far or not enough the Cam Locks will not engage and thus will not lock. (b) Very few of the pilot holes needed for assembly were more than a slight dimple. These pilot holes need to be deep enough to get the screws started in the correct position -- we had to use an awl to make them deep enough. (c) Additionally, the pilot holes on the bottom shelf that are needed to attach the dividers (CL, CR, DL, and DR) were on the side of the wood OPPOSITE that needed for one of the dividers. In this case we had to create all new pilot holes.

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.
