Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

We're getting a new TV (55" Plasma) and needed a new (errr, actual) component-hiding tv stand. I searched website after website and was having extreme difficulty in finding one that met all my requirements and for a fair price. I was at RacksAndStands(dotcom) and found one in their "Sale" section under the brand "dCor". Came to Amazon and couldn't find it by name. Checked actual item number (E-0062-BF) and low and behold here it is! They offered it for 199 + free shipping but it would take a few extra days so I ordered it via Amazon for same price with free 2-day Prime shipping. It arrived in a Sonax box so I'm assuming Sonax is the actual brand, perhaps dCor is a sister company. Sonax did an outstanding job packaging this stand, everything was tight, secure and protected. I open the box today to put her together and - what's this? Metal hardware?! Nice! I took my time putting it together and this thing is attractive and functional. Very solid especially considering the particle boards. The smoked glass goes well with the black "grain" and it helps hide unused components. Predrilled holes were right on the mark. Extremely easy putting this together. We've got the cable box, audio receiver, xbox 360 and playstation 3 in there leaving two more nooks for the peripherals for the two systems. Outstanding item. Knowing ahead of time this was particle board I rate this a five out of five. The only thing I'd improve on is using actual wood. If the need arises in the future I can just purchase wood and build a similar/matching one using the same hardware and glass doors. Considering similar functioning tv stands are closer to the $500+ price range I really did get a lot for the price. If you want a solid bench to hide multiple components that won't break the bank and still looks attractive, this is one worth your consideration. *EDIT 7/5/12* ~Photos added showing measurements and backing cutouts, as requested. ~I'd like to add to my review is that the three shelves are not affixed: they can slide forward or all the way back which I found useful for my deep receiver and incoming cables. ~Remotes and controllers for Xbox 360, PS3, and Time Warner digital cable box work perfectly through the tinted glass doors.
