This was easy and straightforward to assemble. The instructions are clear and I found the steps to be very smartly organized. It took me about 30-40 min to assemble. The wood veneer is gorgeous and I love the design of this piece.
The box it came in was very well packaged to prevent the wood from being damaged during shipping. My box had been banged up by UPS but because the wood inside is protected by styrofoam and paper, none of the pieces were damaged.
Overall, the value for the cost is very good. My one complaint, which I really can't complain about at this price point, is that the walnut veneer is very very thin. If you dent or have a medium scratch in the veneer it has a good chance of going through the veneer and showing the much lighter color MDF material below it. But, if you want nice walnut veneer, you gotta pay 3-5X this price to get it. It fits well with our furniture setup.
It comes flat-pack and you need to assemble it yourself.
I found it was actually easier to mount the back panel on the wall and then assemble the rack in place. This saved me from trying to hold the bulky rack and drill lag screws at the same time.
The keys/locks are a bit 'crunchy', but they work and i dont access it often.
The cable inlets at the top/bottom are knock-outs. The metal tabs that hold them in are pretty sharp. I filed them down to avoid damaging my cables. It fits well with our furniture setup.
Easy to install, fits well on the rack, sturdy, works well.
The included "back shell" helps to relieve the tension of the cables. It fits well with our furniture setup. The quality really stands out.
