I bought this January 2008. After 10 full years, it still looks great the day I bought it. It's gone through some abuse but it's still standing. And you know what... it looks like it can stand another decade.I agree that it's pricey; however, I haven't bought anything to replace it, nor do I have the urge to. I still love the way it looks.If you decide to buy one, I hope it lasts you forever as well just like it did for me. Nothing feels flimsy or cheap. It feels like a strong quality stand with quality wood and metal.

I placed this cabinet in my family room between two large speakers and below a wall mounted 55 inch TV. I like the fact that the only time I have to open one of the front doors is to play a tape or disk (CD, DVD, etc.). This cabinet must be assembled and some of the parts are heavy. I had it delivered to my garage. I unpacked it there and then cared individual parts downstairs to my family room.It probably took me a couple of hours to assemble everything. I did it all myself except for one final step where my wife helped. The assembly directions were okay but could have been better. The top and bottom pieces of the cabinet are made of very heavy wood that is soft and easy to dent or scratch. I scratched (gouged) the bottom piece with one of the hinges that I was trying to close so I could attach it to a door. Luckily, I was able to turn the unit around so the gouge is on the backside of the unit. Also, the top received a small dent when when I knocked over a small metal flashlight that was setting on the unit.One other problem I had with the unit is that the three back panels arrived warped. I was not able to attach all three of them at once. I finally decided to leave the center one off. The electronic components I use the most are in the center so not having a back panel behind them probably helps with ventilation.Read more

This thing is very-much worth the price. It’s night and day better than the cheap plywood ones I’ve had over the years.

If you've seen this piece at the local stores you've probably heard that they come assembled. Well, the Amazon version requires assembly. While it wasn't too difficult or time consuming (maybe two hours including disposal/organization of packing materials), it would have been nice to know it. Aside from assembly, the quality and look of the cabinet are great. Definitely worth the sales tax savings to get it through Amazon - plus you get that feeling of accomplishment once you've put the thing together.

I really like the Synergy 237 and bought it to hold my AV gear and mount a large LCD TV. Assembly was reasonably easy and the instructions were good enough to get the job done. I would not recommend ripping everything open and starting without first thinking it through and developing a plan. It is quite large and heavy so two people are needed. Once assembled it is quite nice looking and complements the other solid wood furniture we have. No particle board here. I built it with the TV mount and when it was all together it looks very nice and works well. The only complaint that I have are the feet and their adjustment to level everything. Its a little fiddly and took a far bit of effort to get everything right and level. Also, if you plan to use this with a large amplifier you may want to get the extended back to allow for a little more room or you could just leave off the back covers. It depends on you preference.BTW, the shipping is via freight and everything was handled very well.

I'm between 3 and 4 stars on this, entirely because of the price. This is one of the few pieces of furniture I found that fits my very large A/V receiver. Most cabinets seem designed for people without a separate receiver (shelves with spacing of 4-6 inches.) Even so, I couldn't install the center door on the Synergy 237 because it would have bumped the front of my receiver.Assembly wasn't complicated, but was tedious, partially because the shelf supports don't have fixed settings. Means you get to (read: required to) decide where to place them...then do a bit of leveling. Lots of solid wood, but the sides are veneer - they still look good, but veneer pieces on something that costs this much?As build-it-yourself furniture goes, this is a 5-star product, both aesthetically and functionally. I wouldn't mind even paying a 2x multiple from what I would typically get at a big-box retailer. However, at well over a thousand dollars, I feel I paid twice what it's worth. For this price, I expect furniture to be factory assembled.I don't regret the purchase because I couldn't find something I liked as much...that looked as good or would have fit my receiver...for a better price. There is a gap in the market between $300 particle board build-it-yourself pieces and high-end furniture costing thousands of dollars. This product takes advantage of that gap, but not (in my opinion) at a fair price point. I'd like to see a high-quality product like this in the five to seven hundred dollar range.It's a bad value, but a great product. One other note: the packing was fantastic. It was double boxed and the outer box was beat to heck. boxes inside were fine and no damage to the product. Kudos to Salamander on the packing!Read more

The tv stand itself won’t stand out, but you can use elements around it that do. For example, white flower vases are a great bet. The exact role can be taken on by the area rug or the lighting in the room. Each black tv finish stand has its own set of properties, which allow it to stand out in various ways and to interact with the surrounding space in its path.
