This stand is really a great value. In looks and quality, I find it superior to stands from brick-and-mortar stores that are three times the price. The hidden speaker section in the middle is a great feature, and it even fits my very large Polk Audio CS1 center speaker. I have a 42" plasma, which looks really good with this stand. Even though the stand can fit 60" TVs easily, its width doesn't overwhelm the TV at all. Also, the three compartments provide ample room for all my stuff. I fit a large receiver, DVR, center speaker, Xbox 360, PS3, and a Wii in there with plenty of room to spare. Assembly was easy enough. Took an hour or two, but was straightforward and simple. I did have one minor complaint. The center speaker panel has some extra "bezel" around the inside of the door to frame the speaker cloth. Since it's about an inch and a half thick all the way around, it reduces the open space for sound to get through. It's totally removable, though, so I plan on taking it out and putting in my own speaker cloth to eliminate the space loss from the bezel frame. Overall, a great TV stand though. Smartly designed and well built.

I spent quite a bit of time searching for the right piece of furniture for our living room and kept coming back to this item. I knew I wanted long, low and doors to keep our cats out of the equipment as features of whatever we purchased. This met all the requirements at a reasonable price. We really like the Madrid from Salamander Designs but 1200-1500$ for a pretty TV shelf was out of our price range. For unboxing/assembly photos look at [...] We were missing two washers and screws for attaching the back of the unit but that's an easy fix.

Pros: Straightforward assembly. Generally quality construction of the parts, specifically the table top. Very attractive look. Good pricing through Amazon. Cons: Some fit and finish irregularities, specifically with the doors. Not deep enough for most modern receivers, so the rear panel needs to be modified or excluded. Overall a very nice piece for the price (at Amazon, anyway). Look is very solid and high end, with a nice faux finish on the very substantial table top. The construction is well illustrated, and can be completed in under an hour. The doors fit irregularly, even with repeated adjustments, making a perfect finish impossible. The piece is shallow for an entertainment center, so I was forced to modify the rear panel to account for the depth of the receiver and its cabling.

This credenza is very sturdy. I have a 50" plasma TV on it and there is no doubt that it is going nowhere. I can easily sit on the unit and it doesn't budge. The piece looks nice also. Even though it is made of MDF with a veneer, it looks almost like it is made of real wood. It was easy to assemble and the instructions were clear. I could see how one of the other reviewers who is elderly would have a hard time with the top. I am an average sized man and I had no trouble moving it around and getting it squared up on the pegs, but it is bulky and probably weighs a good 60 pounds. The extra wide cable holes in the back are nice for getting everything connected. My blu-ray home theater receiver barely fit in the compartment. If you have stereo equipment you should definitely measure it to be sure that it fits before you order. You can get the drawings and instructions for the unit from the manufacturer's website to get the exact dimensions. The only reason that I didn't give 5 stars is because the packaging that it arrived in was totally shredded. It had a bunch of large gashes and crushed corners. It arrived while I was at work, and I thought that I'd have to send it back for sure. Fortunately, they package it pretty well with heavy cardboard and Styrofoam and the furniture itself wasn't damaged. It just looked like it had been handled pretty poorly along the way.

This is a solid entertainment stand. Great quality, looks fantastic (rich walnut appearance), and was easy to put together. Box it comes in is crazy heavy so make sure you get help moving it. All in all the stand exceeded my expectations.
