This was a new edition to my family room. I loved the look and the color of the door that accents colors in the large area rug.
The good: assembly was fairly straight forward, though some steps felt awkward when putting it together alone. The quality of the materials is good, really nice finish on the stand. There was a small nick on the blue door at the top but it doesn’t really show when the door is closed. There’s a bag of “extra” parts which is always helpful and in this case came in handy (see “the bad”). The size is perfect for my family room and the 43″ wide tv – the tv is about 1/4″ wider than the stand on either side. No biggie.
The bad: instructions are a bit lacking in detail but if you’ve ever put together furniture like this before it’s pretty intuitive. The labeling of the wood pieces was not great. The instructions call out part numbers (1, 2, 3, etc.) but on my stand only a few of the unfinished edges were marked. I needed to match the part with the diagrams which showed the proper hole locations. Again, not horrible but annoying. The stand comes with “minifix hardware” this is apparently designed to lock the top, sides, and shelf in place by utilizing a small screw and cam-like system. The problem (as I found in my assembly) is the the “screw” doesn’t really fit tightly into the holes so there’s no real grip. The top, sides, and shelf all utilize wooden dowels as well, but they could be a bit longer and a better, harder wood. I broke two just trying to adjust the height (which is why I was glad there was a bag of extra parts). This “flaw” arose the next day when I moved the stand to the location and the top came right off! The only place it was connected was at the back where the cabinet backing was nailed into the top edge. Not a disaster but more annoying. The issue was “fixed” by removing the top (carefully removing the small nails from the backing first) and applying professional wood glue to the side panel edges – the unfinished wood – around the dowels and the minifix hardware.
All in all, I’m happy with the stand. I’m not going to be moving it around the house and it easily holds the tv. The legs are sturdy which, I think, is pretty important. Now that the glue has set, the top is firmly in place. I’d recommend adding the glue during the initial assembly to avoid any potential problem. I recommend the stand with those caveats. Good luck.

Love it!!!
Amazon Customer –
First, I was sent the wrong colors that I ordered, I originally ordered the walnut-colored one, but received a white with walnut door tv stand. I did not mind though because I wanted the white stand and it was sold out originally on amazon. Secondly, the pieces were damaged, not horribly, but the corners were dinged and banged up enough that if you look at it up close you will definitely notice. Third this was incredibly annoying to put together. The pieces in my set were not labeled and most of the holes for the wooden dowels were not large enough for them to fit into, and I had to drill them out to be larger. This made building this stand incredibly frustrating. However, the end result is acceptable and as long as you don’t look too closely at the dinged corners, it’s an inexpensive piece of furniture with a good midcentury modern look to it.

Great product for the price. I was looking for something small to put in my office / lounge and I was pleasantly surprised to find such a modern unique piece at an such an affordable price. The finish is a smooth shiny gloss that makes it look sleek and more expensive than it is. The “3D” is actually 2D made to look 3D but you can’t tell unless you inspect it up close, it’s a pretty cool illusion. The mid century legs matched perfectly with my mid century couch. Beautiful to look at. It is pictured here with a 32” TV on top. It is compressed wood – so be aware if you don’t think that will fit your needs then it may not be the product for you (but it’s perfect for me).

Exactly what I needed. I was in search of something small, little funky, with decent storage and sturdy for my son’s room. Found it!
For the price, this is fantastic. It is retro piece and rather well made. It is made of particle board or compressed wood (wee disappointed) but hopefully it will last him a long time.
The finish is delicate so be very gentle in your assembly or you will cause damage. It scratches and scuffs with very little efforts. I removed some paint from the leg accidently with just my fingernail.
The assembly is fairly simple. Put it together by myself in about 30 minutes. The instructions are easy to follow and are all pictures with no written steps.
It says to use a screw driver for the assembly but if you have a power drill then I suggest that instead because some of the screws can take a bit of muscle.
Also, I do not recommend whacking pieces directly with the hammer. Put the hammer head in a tennis ball or lay a sandal down.
