Got this idea from an influencer and I'm so excited about it. I was looking for the perfect tv console that had height to it but didn't want to spend a ton of money. This was so easy to put together and the instructions were actually written playfully which made it that much better. They also have isolated how-to videos on their website which was helpful to make sure I was doing the door hinges correctly. All and all amazing pieces, and would recommend it 40x over! The comfort level exceeded expectations.
Was able to get this one sale for $280, feels like a really good value. Was looking for something to store my vinyl records while partially hiding them from view, and this fit the bill.
The material is definitely better than the cheap particleboard or painted MDF typically in <$200 knockdown furniture. The material is denser than particleboard with decent looking grain on it, I don't think (?) it's MDF either as the screws dug in pretty snugly. It's a little on the soft side, so be careful not to drop or abuse it, and use a soft mallet if you need to tap it during assembly. The back shear panel looks to be a thin piece of plywood rather than cardboard - they did have major bows to them, but once screwed in it's not so bad.
The only tricky part of assembly was when attaching the top panel, the dowels wouldn't align easily, so had to loosen some of the cam fittings on the side panels to allow enough slop to get things to fit. Tightened things back up and all was good. The doors had enough adjustment to allow for decent alignment and smooth operation.
The doors come with the window panels captured (I think they are a plexi and not glass), so no screwing them in which tends to look cheap and come loose over time.
Worst part was the adhesive stickers for marking each part and their assembly orientation. The residue is pretty tenacious so I had to wet and scrub to get most of it off, thankfully the discoloration it leaves is in places you won't see very often. One part came slightly damaged, but was easy to repair and of little consequence. A nice plus was that it includes a lot of extra assembly hardware.
I used wood glue on the dowels, even though the instructions don't suggest it, so hopefully it holds up well in the long run. Very happy with my purchase so far... The comfort level exceeded expectations.
