Oozing mid century modern style, and so easy to bu
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My home has a sort of mid-century, very light wood aesthetic and I have been looking for a TV stand that suits the aesthetic without being too low. The majority of truly mid-century TV stands I’ve found are long and low, and while that suits the aesthetic it doesn’t suit my storage needs… and I don’t want my kids climbing on it. I was therefore thrilled to come across this TV stand that checks all the boxes. After receiving it, putting it together, and using it for a week, here are my thoughts: Pros: · Design: The fluted design on the front is very pretty, the rounded bottom corners break up the simple design, the black hardware / handles and black metal feet are a lovely contrast. If you’re looking for mid-century modern, this is perfect. · Shipping: Every piece was wrapped and cushioned. The delivery team stood this up against my exterior porch wall on its short side and smack on its corner and there wasn’t a ding or dent to be found. · Build: Extremely easy. Instructions made sense, every piece was labeled, and I was extra impressed to find a separate bag of spare screws and parts. Usually companies just shove an extra screw or two in the bag, and I wonder if I’ve built it correctly. The bag of spare parts is a much better approach. · Adjustable feet: So useful, so easy to use. · Storage capacity: So much space inside, and both sides have cut outs for wires to thread in. Cons: · Finish: The veneer is quite thin. I bumped into the door and the veneer peeled off in a semi-circle. I was able to glue it back on, but I’m not sure how long this is going to last with my kids running around. · Door construction: No matter how many times I adjusted the door hinges, I cannot get the doors to appear aligned. The right door handle is always just slightly lower than the left. Worse, when I tried loosening the top of the left door/tightening the bottom of the left door to get it to align to the door next to it, the thin material crushed and the door now has a wavy crushed section next to the hinge. All of that said, for the price, I think it is well worth it and a great find. I would recommend this to anyone who needs something beautiful, trendy, and spacious, and isn’t concerned with it lasting forever. I’m very happy with it!
