 Good Overall Piece of Furniture Feb 19, 2009
By J. O'Donnell
"J. M. O."
My husband and I put this thing together in a day and it took us a little while to get everything together but it was well worth it. If you put it together CORRECTLY (eyes 1 star reviewer) this is a nice, solid entertainment center that will last you a long time. So far it's got our 42" TV in there and it fits fine with room to spare. We're getting a 46" for it today and I have no doubts it will fit just fine. I think it holds up to 50" TVs but you'd have to check. Hope this helps!

 Lovely piece! Feb 02, 2010
By David Addante
"TV Guru"
Upon arrival, I was eager to put this piece together! The instructions were pretty easy to follow; it is just a matter of staying organized. Some of the pieces were not labeled, but it was easy to identify them after looking at the pictures in the diagrams. By myself, it took about 8 hours to put together, but was well worth it! The piece looks amazing with my 50" TV! It is quite heavy and sturdy and takes two people to move. The drawers and doors look very nice and nothing is out of line. I was impressed with the glass shelves on the side and the hardware it came with. What a fair price for this piece! This item is cheaper WITH shipping than what other stores are charging for just the unit! SO happy I got this from Amazon! It was just what I needed for a perfect entertainment center!
Suggestions: The hidden cams often stripped when I tried to turn them the full 210 degrees, but having a wide screwdriver would prevent that easily.
The instructions do not say how far to drill the screws into the pre-drilled holes; I made the mistake of drilling them in all the way and was unable to put the screw covers on.
When assembling the cardboard backing, only tack the nails in halfway first so you can make adjustments-- trying to remove them while they are hammered all the way in will only tear the backing. Then once everything is in place, hammer them in all the way.
Only two perforated holes are available in the center of the backing for any audio/video device. I had to cut my own holes behind the other shelves for my other devices. If you do this, make sure to have a sharp serrated tool to or drill bit to cut a smooth round hole. I used the pop-out to trace the right size.

 Piece of junk Feb 12, 2009
By Faith - Minneapolis
I bought this cabinet a few days ago, and it is the worst piece of furniture I ever bought. It's look very nice, but the biggest problem is its sturdiness. I've been assembled many pieces before this, but I could not believe how badly made this piece is.
The hidden cams and cam dowels are the most important factor here because they hold and secure all the pieces together, but they don't in this case. The cam dowel base is made with plastic threat cover over hollow metal. You insert it in the pre-drilled hole on one piece of wood and attach it to the hidden cam that you inserted on the pre-drilled hole of another piece. The instruction says to tighten the cam 210 degree to ensure that the cam locks in with the cam dowel firmly, but what the use if the cam dowel can come right off the pre-drilled hole.
The cabinet is wobbling and hard to move without the fear that it would fall apart once it is assembled, and it DID. I wish they made the cam dowels with solid metal threat at the base, so you can screw them in the pre-drilled hole tightly, and once they've been attached to the hidden cams, they would lock in securely like other well made furniture I've assembled.
