I was hesitant to buy this because of a few bad reviews but I am very glad I bought it anyways! It turned out to be a quality piece of furniture (heavy too). I think that anyone who complains of this not being sturdy had issues with putting it together because mine is rock solid. My husband and I lifted it by the two holes on the back and the lid and had zero sense that anything was coming loose.
Because it is so heavy, it was a little difficult to get in from the front porch by myself. It took me, a small and relatively handy gal, and hour and a half start to finish to assemble this. You don't need any power tools- just a Phillips screwdriver. Any other tools you need are included. The instructions were very clear and include both diagrams and written directions. I put the whole thing together by myself but there is one small part where it could be helpful to have an extra set of hands, but if you are able-bodied and careful, you can do it without help. The wood does feel like and look like solid wood, so if it is a veneered compressed board, it doesn't feel like it.
The right side of the cabinet does have addition storage for records if you choose to have both shelves close together at the top. There are two holes for cords on the back- one in the record player side and one on the other half. I have an Audio Technica record player and it fit with some wiggle room. If you have one of those suitcase players it probably wouldn't fit. I have around 50 records and have room for my collection to grow. I love that they will be able to be stored free from dust when the cabinet doors are closed.
If you are looking for a really nice cupboard for your record player, this is it. I can see myself having this cabinet for a very long time. It is just as nice as my buffet table that I bought from a furniture store. A+! It works great as a table piece in our home. Looks even better in person.
Well made, entire product made from plastic. The knockout holes are fairly thick and need some type of tooling to punch through and to deburr.
The door can be mounted to open either from the left or from the right. Just note that there are no shelves that are provided with this packaging and you'll have to get some other type of shelving available either from this company or use zip ties to attach it to the holes in the back of the casing.
Includes a cardboard shield to help with painting is very nice. Would buy again. It works great as a table piece in our home.
We bought 3 and put them together! We build the base incorrectly but it was on us! We still love it and highly recommend! Great material! It works great as a table piece in our home.
