Side by Side Comparison of: Sauder vs Altra Furniture

Great T.V stand! We originally purchased this T.V stand for our bedroom but decided we would rather put it in our living room because of how great it looks. Our first shipment came with a broken peice but customer service made it extremely easy on replacing then entire unit, they even scheduled a pick up time for UPS to come get the damaged item and they resent me another unit and I received it in two days. Super easy replacement. This unit has two drawers which come in handy! I have tons of DVD's and I'd much rather have them stored away in drawers (even though some are still on the shelves in the photos) the T.V stand is very sturdy as well! It is quite heavy to move and it's very easy to assemble. I will most likely be purchasing another stand identical for another room in my home!

It came with an instruction book that was very helpful and easy to understand. It said the limit was a 42inch tv but I put a 64inch on it and it did fine! Nice color and overall a good product!

this item is pretty amazing for the price. im a full time college student who also works full time. so I cant afford anything fancy. this tv stand looks great in my living room has space for my movies + any decorative things I want. reat purchase!

I really like this tv stand. It goes well with my home decor. The order arrived in a timely manner and was very easy to assemble. I had never put anything together before and I had no problem with the instructions. There are even videos to watch if you need them! Over all I'm please with my purchase!

There is a very good reason why this item is not expensive- You must do a lot of work to put it together! Takes about two hours to put together. I like these projects though. It is very solid when it's completed and a nice, quality piece of furnature.My advice: when you empty the box, lay out everything, get organized and familiar with all the pieces before putting anything togeter. Also, if you're like me and ignore the whole "hand tools only" warning and use a power tool, set it to one of the lowest settings, otherwise you will strip the wood ;)

I was really needing to update my furniture and decided to replace my outdated entertainment center with something with a more modern look. So of course I went to Amazon and found this little treasure. The price was right in my range and looked like what I was looking for. I Placed the order and actually got it two days earlier than I expected, which was pretty awesome. Took about 2 hours by myself to put it together. The instructions were very clear and everything was there. Not even a little finish nail for the backboard was missing. All in all I was pretty happy with this purchase and would definitely refer this to a friend or family member.

I was not expecting much for the price but actually this is a good value and nice TV stand. Box was very heavy and assembly is very easy except maybe the door hing installation which is a little tricky. It is particle board and uses those cam locks for main bracing which have been known to break after a while, but looks really good when installed. We used this in a bonus room for our kids and it provides nice places for game consoles, DVD players, & cable boxes without cluttering up the top around the TV. And for the price we don't worry if they happen to scratch it.The areas inside the doors are pretty small though but does give a place to hide things from sight. It is not very tall so make sure you measure and have a room which will not block the view. The legs and supports are metal and look nice.Overall we are very pleased.

Putting it together was a bit tricky, made easier and faster with a power drill. One must be careful in over torquing the pegs that drill into wax, they are designed to only screw down flush, and no further (although some tolerances allow for a bit of misjudgment)The space is more than enough to house multiple gaming systems from the Gamecube to the PS4, and all parts provided are necessary for the structural integrity of the stand.The color of the sonoma oak is also growing on me (chosen by my better half) and once assembled, everything seems very solid, and looks good.The doors on either side are also fairly adjustable so you can move them, angle them, and make them so that you can open them without them scraping, and make them fit to the look you want.The only downside is that some of the parts came with the finish damaged. This was not a major concern to me as those parts are hidden on the underside and will never be seen by anybody unless the stand is taken apart.All around a great product!

BUILD THE DOORS FIRST!!! MOST PAIN IN THE @55 THING TO PUT ON IF YOU DO THAT STEP LAST AND IT DOES HAVE THAT STEP LAST!!!Looks great in the living room. Is nice. I like it.

This review is for both the Altra Carson TV Stand for TVs up to 70" and the Audio Stand. I purchased one TV stand and two audio stands (both in black/cherry) and they look great as a set. The total set is about 98" wide so you will need a long empty wall if you intend to set up the full set. The items cannot be purchased as a set with the 70" TV stand size. I received the audio stands first so I assembled them prior to receiving the TV stand. It about two hours to put together the two stands. The most challenging part to assemble was the doors as you have to use a guess and check method to get the doors aligned correctly so they do not scratch against the top and bottom when they open and close. The top of the stand is about 55" tall, and you essentially get four shelves on each stand in addition to the storage behind the door. The instructions advise not to put anything on the top of the stand, but if you have something less than five pounds that is not breakable I think it would be safe. The storage area behind the door is very spacious, and I was able to fit about 55 blu-ray discs and almost 100 CDs (I put the CDs in the back and the blu-ray discs in front, so in the picture you can't actually see the CDs).The TV stand was more time consuming to put together than one audio stand which makes sense because it has many more parts. The box weighs about 98 pounds, so it is strongly recommended to have someone help you move the box especially if it is going to be between floors. When assembling the TV stand, you will need a good deal of floor space to lay all of the pieces and hardware. The directions were very straightforward, and as with the audio stands the door hinges were the most challenging. The instructions do not list a drill as a required tool, but I do not think I could have assembled the doors without one. Without a drill, you would probably need a second person to hold the door in place while screwing. The storage behind the doors on the TV stand do not have nearly as much room as the audio stand, and are more appropriate for remotes, controllers, and manuals than media. Each level of the TV stand has a wide opening for cords in the back, but no real cord management system. I used cable ties and mounts to better organize my cords. I have a 65" TV, and it is about 1.25" away from the edges on each side, so a 70" TV would definitely be the largest size one could have without having the TV extend beyond the edges of the stand.When put together, the TV stand and two audio stands look like one complete unit as the height of the TV stand is the same as the bottom level of the audio stand. The only change I would have liked is if the entire top of the TV stand was black like the 50" TV stand as the shelves of the audio stand are all black (on the 70" model the center section of the top is black but the sides are cherry). Otherwise this is an excellent looking and very sturdy unit.

such a great stand, easy to set up and it adds a great look to my living room!I was able to fit a LG 50 inch TV and had some room for my souvenirs, PS4 and video games!!

this stand is about 21" tall and about 46" long it looks very nice in my living room.it was really easy to assemble it, and it has a really great color..when it comes to align the doors or make them look straight is kind of tricky but just just have to use your screwdriver and tight it or loose it , whatever your need is, and make sure both doors are aligned the same way.if the doors are not aligned, when u close them it'll look like the doors are falling, so make sure you do it right and straight.

First thing I'd say when you order this be prepared for a LOT of work putting this together. In fact, get help if you can. I knew as soon as I got the box it was going to be a job as this comes in several pieces. The booklet is extremely helpful and easy to understand. If followed to the letter, you should not have issues provided there are no missing pieces or parts. Overall it took me around fours to put this together. However I was also hauling pieces and parts up to my apartment the whole time from downstairs while I had the contents spread out in another room. A lot of factors can greatly add to the time to put this together obviously.On the quality I'd say I'm pleased for $70. It's cheap wood but pretty stout/heavy enough for the purpose intended. Everything fit together perfect except for one shelf that was difficult to slide in that probably wasn't cut exact. It looks great and I really don't mind the tiny outlines around the finishing, but if you are funny about that kind of thing this is not for you. It had the exact dimensions I required and my 49" LG fits on it perfectly. The drawers are deep enough to hold a pretty good number of items.Lastly there were no missing pieces or parts, and no damage from shipping. I was one of the lucky ones I suppose. I'd also advise being very careful to double check your work as you go along. After a certain point during assembly, if you made a mistake earlier you didn't catch it will be too late to correct it, or be very hard to fix to say the least.

I need to invest in a ruler instead of looking at pics. Its much smaller than expected from picture. It was a little difficult to put together. Despite this its cute, Will be perfect for my grandchildren.

Put this in our living room with our new furniture after we bought a house. Cheap material but it seems pretty solid. The drawers were a pain to adjust and get just right, but now that they are in place it looks great. We get compliments on the living room. Same back panel all these sets come with and is quite cheap and flimsy. Also it took some time to put together and says not to use power tools (I used power tools [dremel cordless drill as to not be too powerful]). It also got little white balls of styrofoam all over. They use the super cheap styrofoam and it is a pain to clean up.

Great product for the price it's heavy sturdy the color of more of wood pattern of you want solid dark brown then is not for you average height took like 1 hour to build only reason gave it 4 stars was the bottom side border was chipped but you can't even tell so not making a big fuss but nice for price fast ship

Wish I could say excellent quality TV stand, but it is clear there are a few places where Sauder cut costs.But first, the pros of this TV stand:Nice quality wood for 80-90% of the stand.Almost everything is clearly labeled, which helps during installation.Made in the USA.Cons:Instructions could be clearer. Admittedly, I'm not the handiest person. I had to undo a few steps because I realized I was constructing the stand opposite of the instructions. That helped explain why things were not lining up properly.Extremely cheap drawer bottoms and backing for the stand. Something a little thicker for both would have been nice.Handles are not the best quality, but they do the trick.Center wooden divider not centered, causing one side to be loose and the other too tight. (this might be my fault, so I'm not taking it into consideration for review purposes but thought it might be good to mention as a possible warning).Assembling this took me probably 3 or 4 hours, but that is spanned over a few days with a 2 year old distracting me at times. It was much easier to assemble than an Ikea TV stand I helped put together years ago which required drilling screws into places with no holes. This was much, much simpler! As long as it lasts 2 or 3 years, which I imagine it will, I would buy it again.

Excellent dark cherry color that actually matched my living room furniture. Putting it together was a lengthy process for me and another adult as there are many parts, but the instruction booklet was well organized and well written. It is a bit small for my large TV but certainly strong enough for the TV and three other devices. One feature I don't care for is the closed back. Although it makes a nice finished look to the unit, it can be difficult to change out devices because you have to pull the old wires through the small ho!es in the back and push the new ones through as well. Overall it is worth the money and free shipping was welcome. Would have a appreciated wheels to move it more easily, it you can't have everything!

Great tv stand but the manufacturer must've missed something because when I tried putting the hinges on the doors, the holes I was supposed to screw into were only a mm deep so the screw won't screw in. You have to drill 12 holes for each door, 6 for each hinge. I used a 3/32 drill bit and it worked perfect. But my drill was a little too big to fit into the cubby hole so I had to drill at a slight angle first until the drill got in the cubby so I could drill straight in. Be careful you don't use the whole length of the bit and drill through the side of the stand. It would be easier to pre drill those 2 pieces before you construct the whole thing like I did unknowingly. You'll also need to drill the holes for the handles for the doors as well. Why the manufacturers didn't just make the holes deeper, I don't know. But if you just whip out the drill and take an extra 10 minutes, it'll be a nice looking stand in the end

Let me just start by saying that this is a fairly decent quality build of a tv stand. The concept of the shelfs n drawers are my favorite thing about it. The price simply cant be beat for what it offers. Seriously great. Mine came perfectly shipped, excellent condition aside from a small knick/tear on one of the pieces of wood but to me its a complete non issue. The only real issue i had with this is that i was expecting it to be a tad more wider, and the assembly was really long for someone doing it solo. I realize it suggest 2 people for assembly, but my fiance was working all day while i put this together. Everyone says it took them about 1 or 2 hours.. for me solo it was about 5 hours. But that also could be because i like to double check instructions over several times before making any mistakes. Other than that, i really recommend this if you need something cheap. Highly impressed that it wasnt as generic as i thought it might have been at the price. Just dont expect top of the line quality. Expect a bit better than walmart quality and you wont be disapointed

This product is basically good. Assembled, it seems very sturdy. It has convenient shelves for a soundbar or gaming consoles/cable boxes or other devices. The instructions consist only of pictures and diagrams though. There is no text which may be adverse to some but I found them relatively simple to understand. The major drawbacks are the cabinets to the left and right of the central shelves. Behind the doors is a shelf which can be positioned at three heights. However, the cabinet is not tall enough for the shelf to accommodate a full-size, upright DVD case at any of the three places it can be positioned. Some smaller cases fit upright, but a significant portion of my DVD's are laying horizontal. The shelves would be fine for CD's, but I, and I feel most people, do not have any need to store CD cases in a TV stand. You could simply take the shelves out but that still leaves a lot of negative space. Whichever way you choose, it's inefficient. That, however is my only major complaint. I do feel that I would prefer it to be taller, and making it taller would solve the cabinet problem, but that's more personal than a real mark against it. Overall, that is a good TV stand that I expect to hold up well.

First off, I absolutely love that it was easy to read directions unlike lots of other put it together pieces you can get elsewhere. Everything was clearly labeled and easy to deal with.That said it was great until I had to put the gates of hell (the front cabinets) together, Cerberus himself looked at me and sighed wistfully before laying down to his fate.If you get this, do yourself a favor and attach the doors before you do anything else because you'll save yourself tons of headache that way. Shelves could also be more sturdy but for what they will be used for, they will work.

Would have been 5 stars because it was easy to assemble all the way up until step 7 and 8. My mom and I used a DeWalt Drill to get the screws in. The instructions are easy to follow. When trying to attach the door hinges, we realized the pre-drill holes were not pre-drilled making it very difficult to put the doors on. If we didn't have an electric drill and extra drill bilts, the doors would have been left off. We used a 7/64 drill bit to make pre-hole drills and then it made it easier for the screws to go in. The pre-drill holes should have already been there; if we didn't have a drill it would be impossible by hand of without professional help.The product itself is very stable and well made! It looks nice, sleek, doesn't weigh a ton and solidly holds up my 48" TV. The spacing of the shelves are good too, I have an Xbox One and my cable box set up and it still has space. Overall a very good TV stand!

This was purchased via Amazon prime. Got it in a day. Took 1 1/2 hours to assemble. I wish i had someone to help out. It would have been a lot faster. Looked neat and is sturdy to hold my 47 LG TV and all my AV components. Tricky doors like previous reviews commented. Definitely not your 300+ $ TV stands. As you build it, you will notice its materials are worth what you paid for, particle board and some thin laminates. But a neat and clean look for a budget conscious customer like me. I must say the design was good and construction manual was great. 10 clear cut steps and you are done. You will need a Philips type screw driver. All other hardware is supplied. Can't beat 4$ Amazon prime overnight shipping. Faster and easier than picking up something from 30 mile away Ikea. :)

It was easy to put together but the bottom drawers will not fit. I warn you. You have to make a lot of adjustments to inner screws that hold the roller and bar. You have to have it where it perfectly lines up, and they actually fit on the rollers.I have it where the fit the rollers and I can open and close them. But there is a noticeable gap at the bottom of the drawers. It's uneasy on the eyes

It's a nice unit, just the right size for my living room and the color was good and consistent. It's lots of pieces/screws etc. to put together - be prepared to spend a couple of hours on it, and read instructions carefully I separated out all the parts, lined them up and separated the screws into groups to make it easier . It works with my 32" flat screen and I was able to get my cable box, Xbox and dvr in the 4 shelves with room for another gaming system or whatever. The drawers are a nice size and deep, good for videos, or gaming accessories. One thing I didn't really care for: The handles for the drawers are molded plastic which look cheap compared to the rest of the stand - I'm going to replace them when I can. And while the outer framing materials are pretty solid, I don't know how much wear and tear it will take because the drawers don't seem as sturdy as some of the other parts. But visually, and practically it does everything I need it to right now. It was a great buy for the price. I should add that stand came in very good packaging with no damage at all

The only reason I gave this 3 stars is because of the price. It's press board so you shouldn't expect much. Some of the pieces came chipped. The instruction for the drawer rails are not right. (You'll find this out after you try to put the drawers in.) The drawer pulls are a cheap plastic. I put on brass pulls, and it looks better. The instruction's try to be funny, and tell you not to use a drill (power trip), but you should have at least a power screwdriver, because there are a lot of wood screws.. The size is good, and it's sturdy once put together. There is plenty of space on the shelves, but the drawer fronts are much larger than the drawer itself, and are held together by a piece of plastic and two screws. I don't know how much use before the drawer fronts rips off.

I liked this stand when we first got but weve had it such a short time and the drawers have already been trying to off track and seeing that we barely ever open them, it shouldn't be a problem. The edges are not painted with the black stain so looks kind of unfinished. The edges have also already started to splinter and we have had it maybe 6months. I figured for the price it woyld at least look good for a year. I probably wouldn't recommend as its just not good material or lasting peice of furniture. I definitely wouldn't buy again knowing all these were a possibility.

First off, the amount of assembly required was pretty extensive, you literally build the piece from boards, with the screws and nails included. I built it perfectly in accordance with the instructions and have no issues except whenever you open a drawer (it happens to either), the drawer has to be placed back with care to make sure it isn't partially open. Bad design means that to fully close the drawer and not leave it stick out to one side you have put it back into place, it won't close fully by itself. The issue isn't the way it was put together or that I have either drawer in the wrong position its just shoddy workmanship from the factory, there were a few other issues with bad positioning of screw holes but the drawers are the only area where a lack of craftsmanship is plain. This isn't high quality but it looks nice enough and isn't super pricey so I'm not complaining too much.

There are two points of construction need remedying. The center divider is held to the top by a pair of pinch pins. Any lifting force on the top will pop those pins out, even when the unit is unloaded. That should make moving this thing an interesting event. The second is frightfully common on cheaper furniture: the cardboard backer is a structural piece, which allows the whole unit to flex when loaded, which may cause the drawers to scrape when opening/closing. A stiffer back, and more secure top, would make this a dynamite little piece of furniture. Of course, any Redneck Engineer™ could also fix these issues. ;)

The product itself pretty average... not bad considering the price. It took about 4 hours to build, the instructions are crap. You realize when you're almost done that you are building this thing UPSIDE DOWN. So make sure you put a towel or sheet under it before you start building or it will get all scratched up. The parts are delicate and flimsy, but again...for what you are paying you should expect it. Just be careful while assembling because it you lose or break a part, you are screwed. Overall I'm pretty satisfied with what I got for what I paid.My major problem was the delivery. It appeared that FED EX backed the truck up only halfway up my driveway and pushed the box out of the back of the truck. The box and some of the boards inside were damaged. To make matters worse, they left it out in the pouring rain when there was a covered car port only 20 feet away. I called Amazon and they made things right, which is what I always appreciate about Amazon Customer Service. FED EX gets an F- on this. How lazy can you be?

Let's begin with how it arrived... with a broken board. Not too bad I suppose - sometimes things happen along the way (although one set of screws was just thrown in there with no trace of the plastic holding them). Amazon customer service was great as always as they had a replacement on the way in no time. Unfortunately when the replacement arrived it was damaged as well and was worse off than the previous stand I had sent with multiple pieces broken. Luckily the J-piece from the second package was only slightly damaged and could be used in place of the broken piece from the first package. Glad I didn't take the original to be returned until after I received the replacement. Anyways... lets just say none of that matters and move on to the product.The particle board itself is nice but a handful of my pieces were already blemished/dented when they arrived. One of the pieces splintered slightly when I was screwing into it but its at least covered up. Due to the way its held together (I'm not sure what they're called, but you screw in a piece that essentially grabs onto the head of another piece to hold it tight) the boards are never flush. The doors themselves are fine but the hinges that you install aren't very high quality and do not support the full weight of the door (I haven't tried tightening the joints, maybe that will fix it) - anyways, the doors scrape against the bottom of the stand on both sides. You have to lift them up to shut them completely. There are also bad gaps between the horizontal pieces (you can even see something like it in the display picture on Amazon... so I guess they're not hiding it at least). They give you some paper "covers" to put over the holes in the furniture used for assembly but they're pretty much garbage. I would actually recommend filling those holes with something on top of the screws to fill the hole - then putting the paper covers on.Despite all of that, it does actually look quite nice when you're sitting on the couch staring at it. The color is great and goes well with the coffee table I purchased from the same company (same problems, but fewer of them). It sits very sturdily, there's no way its tipping over as long as the floor is level. It holds my 70" TV quite nicely. The shelves (speaking specifically about the ones inside the doors and in-between them) are adjustable at 3 levels or can be removed completely which comes in handy when you have a game system.All-in-all its not a bad item - its just not great. Do not buy this at full price, no way is it worth it (at least in the condition mine arrived in). I got it for over 50% off ($129) and that's all that is preventing me from returning it.

This item has a good look and is sturdy, just be prepared for parts abnormalities. There was no damage to the slat pieces, however two of the tubes that hold up the top shelf, the bolt was bent. I could screw one of them in, the other i put in as the middle support. The tv i bought has the stand legs on the end, so I think it will be fine. I should have taken a closer look at it before i owned it, it does actually have 2 different finishes. The horizontal pieces are a low gloss black and the vertical are a dark cherry color. i couldn't tell this in the picture, and it doesn't look terrible, would have just preferred all one color.

Cheap and it works, but it is not perfectthe stand is sturdy and looks nice, but the storage just isn't good. there's an adjustable shelf in both cabinets but the cabinet isn't big enough to allow for you to put even Blu-Ray disks on both shelves without turning them on their side one or the other shelves. The unit is not very deep, my TV's stand is pushed all the way as far back as I can go on the stand and my center channel speaker can barely still fit on the stand.I really enjoy it, and again the construction of it is quite stable, I just can't do better than 3 stars because of the storage issues.

Let me start off by saying I'm not giving this 3 stars because of the stand itself. It's awesome and exactly what I was expecting, apart from being a tad smaller than I was hoping but it's still really, really good. However, I'm giving 3 stars because whoever decided that not putting in holes to get the doors on IS A TERRIBLE HUMAN BEING. My hand is throbbing after spending an hour on the doors alone trying to get the screw holes in (I'm writing this directly after finishing the assembly. Actually, one door is still detached. I stopped to write this now because I'm so frustrated with it). Seriously, if you have a drill, use it to get the holes in where they need to be or do it before you end up putting all 3 shelves together in advance and don't waste your time like I had to. Trying to get these holes in when the stand is upright is difficult because you'll have to do it sideways.EDIT: Ok so after another hour I finally got the doors on. All my stuff fit on here way better than I was expecting and it just looks like such a high quality shelf for the price. Really great and I would recommend it. I'll still emphasize to have a drill available to use for the doors you will need one.

After assembling, the stand looks really nice and sturdy. Good quality for the price. The reasons why I give the product three stars:1. The exact measurement of the stand is 47.2 in./120.0 cm. X 20.5 in./52.0 cm. The description said that it can be used for TVs up to 50 in. My TV measures approximately 46 in. along the bottom. The tv just almost barely fits on the stand. Get the bigger size if your TV is 50 in. or bigger.2. When assembling the stand, the screw holes for the door weren't drilled through completely. My boyfriend had to use the screwdriver as a hammer while I held the screw. Wasn't fun. :(Overall assembling the stand was easy, aside from incomplete screw holes. Read very carefully if considering on ordering. Consider the stand of your TV. Our TV has legs on each end of the TV, whereas our old TV has a stand that sits in the middle. If you have a stand in the middle and it's 50+ in. you should be fine.

This product was very heavy but I was not happy with the particle board construction. I already assembled it and the packaging was damaged upon arrival.

Looks nowhere near as the picture plus the handles were made out of plastic which is not a big deal you can buy your own handles at reasonable prices. Sturdy, just upset that you can see the white outlines around all the edges.

One of the pieces was broken in half, it is one of the front pieces. But i still managed to build it and works, but doesnt look as neat as it would if it wasnt broken

The finish and the quality is not good. The stain was already missing (around the edges) when this came in and it looks bad and worn. The draws don't close flush / there is misalignment in the draws. The material is very poor...ikea quality is far more superior. Overall, I'm not satisfied with this product. You can get a much better quality product in any local furniture store for this price.

Product was extremely cheap looking. Mine actually showed up with broken pieces. Assembled easy enough, but didn't look nearly as nice as the picture. This type of packaging just wasn't meant to be shipped individually, it probably would have been ok if on a pallet with 25 others like it. Takes about an hour to assemble, then about 25 minutes to disassemble for the return. Now, playing tetris with it to fit back in the box for the return, that's easy another hour. Mine did go back, and to Amazon's credit, it was painless.

Pain - not happy with any of their products anymore. Bought three pieces as a temporary use for quest room. And just made so poorly and I've bought their products n the past. QUALITY Control is just not the same anymore. Waiting to hear back from the seller to see if they can partial refund.

Poor design. The bi-color aesthetic required an overly complex and weaker assembly. The side storage have no holes cut for power cords so they can't be used to charge controllers. The shelf sizing does not fit standard home theatre receivers, so the lower center shelf had be raised to fit it. This means there is no place for a center speaker... The depth of the shelf at the top is insufficient to allow even sim modern cable and sat units, so you can only fit one in the center and then no where to fit a gaming system or anything else. Seriously, I don't think the designer of this thing actually tried to use it or had any guidelines. That said, it does hold a TV on top of it so it gets 2 stars.

This is not worth the money, it is nothing but particle wood and some metal tubes. Very cheap and small I can't see why they are over charging $$for this table. Mine came with a damage legs ( the screws were stripped ) and after putting it together and you run into something like this is very upsetting, I did my best to fix the legs , But I don't recommend it, you are better of buying at a Walmart or Big Lots ( even Goodwill have better deals)

I REALLY LOVE THIS TV STAND THIS HAS 2 STARS BECAUSE THE 2 BOARDS ON THE INSIDE WAS TOO LONG IN THE BACK TO COMPLETE THE SET UP OF THIS STAND. I WILL POST PICTURES LATER. AFTER PUTTING THE ENTIRE BOTTOM TOGETHER WE REALIZED TI BACK PIECES WOULD NOT FIT. INSTEAD OF TAKING THE STAND APART AND GOING THROUGH THE RETURN PROCESS, I KEPT IT. I AM VERY OCD SO THIS REALLY BOTHERS ME. BUT IN ALL. I love how this stand looks(Front) once its all put together. The Bach looks horrible. And the stand is sturdy and a perfect fit for my TV. This Would have gotten 5 stars if those 2 pieces would have fit.

My gut told me not go get it? A 70" tv stand for that price? Well i got it, started putting it togeather and noticed i was missing screws and other pices, its frustrating to me that its missing pices. It looked really nice, but i am bumbed that i got a bad one. If you are going to buy make sure it Comes from amazon, cuse if you do need to return it they pay for return shipping or offered a replacement.

Product was as described and would have been ok, except the holes for attaching the doors were not drilled. I had to disassemble the work I had done and drill the holes myself. if the instructions were better the door hardware should be attached prior to completing the main unit. After drilling the holes I attached the hardware first avoiding having to work in a constricted way. I ruined the left door while I was drilling the holes that should have been done at the manufacturer. User error but very annoying.

Overall, the TV stand looks good from far. However,- When you come close you will realize that it is not sturdy, slightly wobbles if you apply pressure (so ensure only supported weight is applied)- Poor quality of wood (?? can't really call it wood - maybe some compressed sawdust or something??) (The espresso is just a sticker on top - just keeps peeling off if you aren't careful)- As it is a sticker - just keeps peeing off and off. I got a scratch after placing the tv on top of the stand (in just 2 days :(). Still not sure what caused the scratch.- People mention that they assembled it in 1/2 hour. Well for me it took around 3 hours. Getting the doors in is very tricky. If you don't put it straight it would rub against the surface and again the (espresso color) sticker peels. So be careful. Maybe the people who did it in 1/2 hour are pros who do it often.Overall, I would suggest go for it only if you are on a tight budget.Wish there was a spare sticker that I can buy to cover the scratches....is there??

Item looks good on the website and on the box.... but in person it looks NOTHING like the pictures. It looks cheap. The drawers do not operate as designed... scuffs easily...I had to use a furniture marker to color in the scuff marks/scrapes.I regret making the purchase. If it wasn't such a hassel to return it I would ASAP.

Not happy with this product at all. Bought it as a mother's day gift and it was horrible putting it together because the drawers don't fit properly and some of the holes don't match up. The way that the drawer faces attach to the drawer is quite possibly the worst idea I have ever seen. The hardware is too short to attach it and have the drawers be usable and the holes didn't even line up.

Paid a good penny for this TV stand and it looks very cheap. I am not pleased. The handles are plastic. The wood is cheap. Horrible purchase.

I can't post a review without giving this a star which is why it's gotten one from me. The box was ripped which was already a bad sign. I counted the pieces with what was in the manual and one of the pieces of would was missing (Q). Another piece was chipped on the corner. If it was a small chip I probably wouldn't have thought much of it but the wood was raised and I could've easily ripped it off with my nail. VERY POOR QUALITY. It didn't last more than an hour in my house. Immediately started processing a return.

Bad quality, parts didnt line up properly and has a weird "strip" on the top front that not only was wider but very loose because of the way it attaches.

Very cheaply made. Wasn't sturdy, moved it once and it fell apart... Don't waste your money pay more for better quality.

China junk. Parts arrived broken and no instruction manual was included. Halfway through assembly, I realized too much was broken to even assemble. Guess it is hit or miss, but I will never purchase from this manufacturer again

The parts is not of good quality. The console is not sturdy when using the clamps provided. I am going to call a wood crafter to build and bring some sturdy material to hold the console together. I am not happy with my purchase.

It is a nice stand. One star because the assembly instructions were not included. One leg had a crooked screw that went through the board and it was made wrong. The double door backing didn't align right at all. Out of my control so I just didn't use them. Very nice stand bit is go with another model that is user friendly.

If I could give this zero stars, I would. While trying to assemble the thing, the cam screws were practically breaking apart. And when I called the company about some replacement parts, I was told they were out of stock at the moment and it'd be a long while before they get new ones, so I opted to ask Amazon for a refund. The fact that they were out of certain parts makes me wonder if they were out because maybe this has happene a lot to other customers. I do not suggest anyone to buy this

Poorly designed. Please do not buy this if you have or plan to have kids, it's so wobbly. And the doors wouldn't even screw in. I'm returning it. A lot of people on the reviews even say that it's poorly designed but than you have the others that like it so that's why I bought it but if you don't mind how wobbly it is and having to reorder a new part, which you will, than I guess this is for you

Don't buy this product! The material it is made of is very cheap. I had two of these shipped to me and they were both damaged.
