The instructions were good, it took a few hours to assemble without problems. There weren’t any pilot holes in the back of the unit to install the back wood pieces, I had to drill them. Lovely item.We have purchased three different units from Simplihome as they have a good selection and products are solid wood.

First off, the delivery of this Amherst TV Media Stand was very timely. The box looked like it had been through a war, so I worked it into the house and proceeded to unpack everything to make sure all was well. Everything in the box was well packaged and undamaged, with the exception of the top, which had one corner cracked and chipped. The corners were protected with foam blocks but something more substantial should be used. The chip was ready to break off, so I pressed wood glue into it and the crack, clamped it and let it set for a couple of hours. I lightly sanded the corner to remove anything that might snag a dust cloth. The finish was then touched up using a Tombo ABT N15 Black touch-up pen, which my wife uses in touching up frames after she frames her paintings.In the meantime I read through the instructions and proceeded to start the assembly. Right off the bat parts E-L and E-R were mismarked; the left one had the right sticker and vice versa. The instructions are a little difficult, but I was able to get it put together, in about five hours, by myself. The hardware that comes with this is well marked in individual bags, which is nice. It even comes with two Allen wrenches and extra hardware. I have assembled four pieces of furniture this year, 3 pieces in the last 2 months and this was the most challenging. The holes were properly placed and everything fit up pretty well, considering this is made from solid wood and not MDF like the others I put together. Solid wood shrinks and warps, so things can change, creating challenges that you don't get when dealing with MDF products. Taking this into consideration the fabrication of all pieces was done pretty well. My only issues were two screw holes that were a little large so the screws would not tighten - they were snug but not near as tight as all the others. The Cam Lock pins and cam lock hardware are not top quality; I had a couple that did not want to tighten and one that bent while trying to tighten. This was easily remedied by squeezing with a set of pliers to flatten it back out. Some of the cam lock pins were not real straight, but a slight tap with a small hammer took care of that. Other than these little issues it went together pretty well. Last but not least, there are no pre-drilled holes for the four back pieces - not a huge problem I drilled my own. It would have been nice if the back was one piece, but the four work.My only other negative about this Entertainment Center is the center shelves are stated to be adjustable, but there is only one other set of holes to either move the bottom shelf up or the top shelf down. I ended up drilling a couple of new holes to raise the bottom shelf height by 3/4" to accommodate my equalizer. I did not install the doors which I am pretty sure would have taken another hour or so. I am very picky about how things get done and strive for perfection in all I do, but as you all know, nothing is perfect so we do the best we can. All in all this project has turned out very well. Total time to complete my project, including moving all of my audio equipment, was about 12 hours.Read more

This is a very high quality piece of furniture, and I was quite impressed with the packing and included hardware. Instructions were not included, nor could I find a link on the Simpli Home website, but there is a link to the PDF in the Amazon product description, so print those out before assembly. This is a decent value for the money, and looks very classy.The assembly was pretty easy, it uses the same kind of hardware to join the sides to the top/bottom as most Ikea furniture, where a screw-in metal post on one part joins to a rotating lock nut that fits inside a circular cutout in the adjoining wood part. The only tools required are a #2 Phillips head screwdriver and the included hex key. It definitely helps to have some experience with furniture assembly, but I think anyone could figure it out. It took me 90 minutes to assemble at a leisurely pace. There is no glue, so this can be easily disassembled and reassembled for moving (which is good since it weighs 75 pounds).There was plenty of room for my cable box, VHS player, 2 DVD players, a Playstation 3, A/V receiver, an Apple TV, Apple Time Capsule, large WiFi router, cable modem, and home automation bridges, with room left more more. I like the way there is plenty of room to run cables between the shelves and the open top. This made it possible for me to make everything very clean along with some cable wraps in the back. There are slots in the equipment shelves to help with airflow and prevent overheating. The storage had room for over 100 DVDs spread out over assorted jewel boxes, box sets, and folders, plus around 40 CDs, and I still have room for more. This is stacking them several layers deep, though, with only the first layer visible from the front.I had to deduct one star because the wood is pretty soft and the black paint scratches easily. I might have gotten the woodgrain one if I had realized this, even though this goes better with my interior. I plan on getting a fabric runner for the top to prevent the inevitable scratching of the surface. The front should be OK, as long as I can keep the cat from scratching it. My previous entertainment center from Ikea is 20 years old and was still going strong. I see no reason why this piece of furniture won't last at least that long.Read more

Item arrived on time, very heavy package! I noticed a hole in the top of the box and sure enough the part underneath hole was damaged. Luckily it was part of the back panel so I used it anyway. All other parts were packaged well and no other damage. A little difficult for me to put together because it is a heavy piece of furniture. Some of the instructions were different from the pictures so had to figure that out. None of the screw holes were pre-drilled, only had little marks so I had to do that myself carefully. Even though it took a lot of time and effort, it looks good in my family room.

All the pieces looked great, except for the top that had a thumb sized residue spot that won't come off even with goo-gone. The instructions were great and all the pieces and bags labeled appropriately. However, all the labels on the wood were a massive pain to get off. For some reason, they thought it'd be a great idea to use super strong adhesive on wimpy paper labels. If you don't have nails, good luck getting those off. Most of the labels are hidden when it's all put together, but some are visible. The major issue I had is that almost half of the holes were drilled with the wrong measurement. Some were over a 1/2" off. Most of the holes that were off weren't the little ones for the cabinet doors, or the magnetic plates, they were for the main assembly of the structural pieces that use the bolt and hook assembly, so due to so many of those being unusable it's not that sturdy. Based on my experience, I would not recommend.

Pine

The pinewood species produces tv stands that are durable and strong. It’s also slightly lighter compared to other woods in the same species. This wood is also very stiff. However, the wood is not quite strong, but it does offer durability. Stands made using this wood are usually elegant and eye-catching. The wood takes paint very well, making it friendly for kids. Because pine is a softwood, it's prone to scratches and dents. They also develop a lovely, rustic patina from age and use, resisting shrinking and swelling.

It may not last as long as oak, but pine is still a strong, shock-resistant material suitable for furniture, particularly if you like the rustic or country styles.

Softwoods

Softwood wood species is easier to work with, and it’s used to make elegant tv stands. The wood can be cut using machines into desirable shapes, producing a good tv stand. The lower density of softwood timber means it's weaker and less durable. However, there are some 'hard' softwood options with a higher density making stylish tv stands. The wood being soft, can easily be attacked by termites and other wood borers, making your stand weaker with time. They also come in more reliable sizes and qualities than hardwoods. The wood is also prone to scratches and dents. Softwood is not always suitable for high use like floors and can be easily worn down after periods. They have poor fire resistance, which should be considered carefully before placing stand down in different areas of your living room, where softwood might be exposed to those sorts of environments.
