Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Purpose I bought this TV stand for a 42" TV in my child's video game room. The TV is light and only a couple of components need to be inside the stand. The XBOX ONE sits nicely in the large area just under the top. Putting it here will give it plenty of air circulation. It is exactly what I needed and more than I expected. Packaging The product came in one box. The same box as you would get at the store I'm assuming. Everything was well packaged with styrofoam, corner braces, and protective plastic. Nothing was damaged. Setup If you've ever put together furniture from directions before, you will have no problems putting this together. The instructions state that 2 people should assemble the unit, but I had no problems putting this together myself (although you may need more than one person to carry the unassembled package to your assembly area. If you follow the instructions and keep it on it's side as you build, you will be fine. The instructions stated that it would take 30 minutes to assemble, but it took me 1.5 hours. This may be because I checked all the contents before putting it together, went through the instructions first without assembling, removed the stickers as I went, and always double checked everything. Everything had an identification sticker on it (A, B, C, etc), not necessary and a pain to remove from 6 of the same braces, etc., but some may find it helpful. Most cheaper self-assemble furniture have a cardboard backing that you hammer in, this one contains a piece of wood (1/8 inch) that makes it a little nicer and more sturdy. A little hint, when assembling the hinges, screw the hinges to the cabinet (loosely) and then to the door. Then tighten everything up and adjust. Made it easier for me at least, you might know a better way. Pros: Easy assembly, solid construction, nice packaging, price Cons: Only provides stickers to cover up cam holes. Hinges were a little tricky.
