Draper SOLID HARDWOOD 54 Inch Wide Mid Century Modern TV Media Stand in Teak Brown For TVs up to 60 Inches, For the Living Room and Entertainment Center

I went with this entertainment bench because the color and leg style was close to the wooden legs on my leather family room furniture. I had also purchased a different furniture piece from Simpli Home a couple of months ago and had been happy that the piece was all wood construction and was a decent quality piece. This entertainment bench arrived ahead of schedule. I ordered it on a Sunday and was given a delivery date that was ten days away only to be surprised when the package was out for delivery five days ahead of schedule. The product comes well packaged and everything arrived in tact with no damage outside of a small ding on the surface of the unit's top, but I suspect that wasn't from shipping based on how it looks.The media bench was pretty easy to assemble. Everything you'll need to assemble it is included except for a Phillips head screwdriver. From unboxing to fully assembled it took about an hour to have it assembled. There was only one screw that didn't tighten well, but all the rest came together nicely. It's a softer wood, so make sure you don't over tighten. I suspect that that the one screw that isn't nice and tight might have been turned a bit too much causing it to be a bit loose.The unit has adjustable shelves in the center as well as inside each of the cabinets. The center portion of the cabinet has two pre cut holes for cords. The unit sits high off the floor so you'll want to make sure you have your cords tied up neatly so it doesn't look sloppy.My only criticisms of the piece are there are a few areas where the wood is a bit rough, but they aren't in noticeable areas. There are also a few areas where the finish looks like it was applied a little too thinly (mostly on corners or edges).I like that this piece was a lot easier to assemble than the Ikea media center's we have had in the past. The unit can store a good amount of stuff in the cabinets. I also like that this isn't super short like another media center we had gotten for our family room that ended up getting placed in the basement playroom because it was too short for my liking.Overall, it's a nice piece of all wood furniture. For a piece of furniture that you assemble yourself it's nice quality. I feel like it's better quality than the all wood Ikea media centers we have had in the past. I think it is worth the price I paid for it ($340) and I'm happy with how it looks in my family room.

The media could not be loaded.  I have been looking for a mid century, modern turntable stand, and this look like a perfect way to do it. I ordered it thinking I might have to spray paint it white and change the legs. However, when I received it, it seemed perfect for what I needed. As I assembled it, I realized I did not need to put the back on it. So I left it off, and then I only installed one of the sliding doors. They easily snap in and out so I may remove both for that open look.PRO’sScrews together, true and tight.The back panel, is thin, but it’s not flimsy.The back panel is not structurally needed for stability of the unit, so you can leave it off to get that “open look“ which looks betterThe color that is shown in the Amazon picture is quite true to what I received, it’s a honey, mahogany like color with a very tight appealing grain. Not at all like oak which is good in my opinionCON’s NONEI was able to turn this into a very nice turntable stand, without having to spend a lot of money, and it doesn’t look like all the other options available. I’m so happy with his purchase. It looks great in my new home vinyl lounge.

So we were unlucky at first attempt as the box arrived in a timely manner with no noticeable marks on it whatsoever. When we began to unpack it, we found that one of the main pieces (top or bottom) was missing a corner. It looked like it had been whacked with a sledge hammer, yet the box was unscathed. We painstakingly repackaged the piece and reported to Amazon. Two things of note here. Amazon was super easy to return the unit and get another one; and, take careful notes on how it is packaged in the event you get a damaged one and have to put it back in the box. This was not easy. Once we got the replacement 3 days later (amazing Amazon) we again proceeded (much more carefully) to remove it from the box noting each piece of styrofoam and where it went. Unit number two was undamaged. Now, I am a handy guy, maybe even more so than that. It took me a good 2 hours to assemble. It should not have, but I used a screwdriver and not a screw gun initially. There are several 10s of little screws need screwing into the wood, which is solid hardwood (not laminated MDF), which when using a screwdriver takes the patience of Job. When I got to the end and was trying to screw the magnetic door catches to the doors, I went and got my screw gun (drill with a phillips bit). Set the torque to minimum, and zip zip zip finished the last 8 screws in seconds. Man, should have done that with the back cover board where it was 5-7 minutes a screw!!! Lesson here is the screw gun is your friend as long as you are very careful and you set the torque to low so you dont strip the heads of the zillion little itty bitty screws. If you use the screw gun, you can cut assembly time to less than an hour. When it was all said and done, the piece is beautiful, heavy, and looks like it costs a lot more than what I paid on Amazon. I did find the exact same piece on Wayfair for $250 more, it had a different brand name but was the exact same thing. I love this piece and let me tell you, I would buy the other matching bigger one for the room should I need more storage at any point. This is in our loft where I mostly exercise and I like the low slung sleek lines of it that remind me of Danish furniture. The picture shows a 65 inch wall mounted sony tv above it and a 6'0" surfboard (to give you a feel for scale).

This cabinet was easy to put together and is a very good quality we were quite satisfied with the quality of the wood and the hardware. It suits our purposes perfectly and puts the TV at the right height in our family room we like the large storage areas on each side plus the two shells in the middle. The feet are also very high quality. I highly recommend this product
