Sauder Beginnings TV Stand with Drawers, For TV's up to 46", Cinnamon Cherry finish

This took me a little longer to put together, but I chalk that up to my own inexperience. The directions were not extremely clear, but good enough for a total noob such as myself to put the piece together with few problems. Everything was clearly marked for my own ease, which was very helpful. The package arrived SO quickly; I felt like I ordered it and then five minutes later it was at my doorstep. It's so expensive to ship something that bulky, so I was really impressed with how fast they got it to me.Now it is complete and situated in my living room. It is exactly what I need it to be. I think its beautiful and it does the job for my situation. If you are looking for something higher quality, you will have to pay the extra money for something that might look slightly better but does the exact same job. The handles are plastic and slightly wobbly instead of metallic (which I'd assumed), but, again, it is a fantastic piece for the price.

All the pieces were intact and the instructions were easy to follow. Looked exactly as pictured. I’m very happy with this

First thing I'd say when you order this be prepared for a LOT of work putting this together. In fact, get help if you can. I knew as soon as I got the box it was going to be a job as this comes in several pieces. The booklet is extremely helpful and easy to understand. If followed to the letter, you should not have issues provided there are no missing pieces or parts. Overall it took me around four hours to put this together. However I was also hauling pieces and parts up to my apartment the whole time from downstairs while I had the contents spread out in another room. A lot of factors can greatly add to the time to put this together obviously.On the quality I'd say I'm pleased for $70. It's cheap wood but pretty stout/heavy enough for the purpose intended. Everything fit together perfect except for one shelf that was difficult to slide in that probably wasn't cut exact. It looks great and I really don't mind the tiny outlines around the finishing, but if you are funny about that kind of thing this is not for you. It had the exact dimensions I required and my 49" LG fits on it perfectly. The drawers are deep enough to hold a pretty good number of items.Lastly there were no missing pieces or parts, and no damage from shipping. I was one of the lucky ones I suppose. I'd also advise being very careful to double check your work as you go along. After a certain point during assembly, if you made a mistake earlier you didn't catch it will be too late to correct it, or be very hard to fix to say the least.

Though inexpensive and made of laminated particle board, the quality of this tv stand is great. I had so much fun putting it together, and the directions were super easy to follow. It's heavy construction and multiple ways of holding it together make it and a very stable and sturdy piece of furniture. Sure, it won't last forever but for what it's needed for currently, it's perfect.

This TV Stand is very nice-looking on the picture which is why I ordered it. I ordered it on June 25 but did not receive it until the 28th even though I have Amazon Prime. That kind of ticked me off that I didn't receive it like I should have being a Prime member and all. I ordered other items at the same time I ordered this piece of furniture and they were delivered on time but not the furniture.Because I was so busy the week that I got it I held off putting it together until Sunday, July 2. Just to let those who are thinking about ordering this, it is VERY heavy to lift so watch your back and be very careful. Ladies, I would highly recommend that you get a very strong male to carry it inside for you. I weigh only 123 pounds but I do not have the muscles to be lifting such a heavy thing like that on my own so I had the delivery man bring it inside for me. It was packaged very securely and none of the pieces were broken. Also, it should be noted that if you are not the type to put furniture together it can take a couple of hours to get it all completed. If you can read and comprehend English very well putting this furniture together should be a breeze for you so long as you follow the steps. It was very easy for me but it took some time til I completed it. I read a review from someone who said it only took him just 45 minutes tops which amazed me but, seriously, in no way can you put this piece of furniture together in just 45 minutes so I suspect the person was exaggerating.Pros: Is a very nice-looking piece of furniture overall the the adjustable shelves and the drawers are are a huge plus for me.Cons: It's very heavy so be very careful and watch your back when bending to lift the heaviest pieces of wood. I wish it had come with stainless steel wheels for rolling it due to it being so heavy. The handles you attach to the drawers are made of plastic instead of stainless steel so be careful not to screw the screws in them too tight whereas you could cause it to break. I don't know why they didn't include stainless steel handles. Go figure. smh It took me a little over 2 hours to complete it and that was following it step-by-step and without taking any breaks. Upon completing it I noticed that both the left and right drawers overlapped onto the left and right outer A and B pieces of wood making it have a very awkward-looking appearance from the front view. When closed the center of the 2 drawers are suppose to be very very close to each other but that is not the case with my unit. Because the drawers are overlapping onto the A and B pieces of wood the middle is very wide whereas you can actually almost see the pieces that are suppose to be hidden. THAT really upset me. I believe that is a manufacture flaw and, sadly, I just happened to be the unfortunate one to receive that particular one. Hopefully that its not the case with most of their products like this one. It's very noticeable and looks rather tacky to me personally. Just be aware of that if you're thinking about getting it.Other than that it is a very nice piece of furniture. I gave it a 3-star solely because of the flaw with the drawers but if there were no flaws I would have given it 5-star because it really is nice-looking. If I could have one without that flaw I would definitely get it but the manufacturer would have to put it together and ship it to me because in no way am I going through with having to put that thing together again on my own. I wouldn't recommend getting this piece of furniture and that's solely because you might end up getting one with the manufacturing flaw like I unfortunately got. But you can take that chance if it really appeals to you. Just can't say you weren't warned in advance.

I bought this along with the Sauder Beginnings Coffee table. I was looking for two pieces that matched perfectly and it was between these and a set from Target. This one had better reviews and I'm not disappointed. You do get what you pay for, its wood laminate but will do the job and look nice. The handles are silver plastic. It was easy to assemble. One minor issue is the adjustable shelves only fit DVDs if the divider is taken out. Even on the lowest or highest notch it doesn't fit DVDs. I put my DVDs with the binding facing up in the drawer and I actually prefer it because I can still read titles.For under $150 I got a matching tv stand and coffee table. Being in an apartment I'm not looking for my forever living room set so the quality and size are great for now. Sauder Beginnings Coffee Table in Cinnamon Cherry Finish

Assembled by myself while watching wild card nfl playoffs. Took about 2 hours, used one philips screwdriver and a few beers for entire construction. Very sturdy, looks beautiful. Would buy again.

The color is darker than anticipated for cherry, still nice.Finish and composition is basic, as advertised - veneer is not thick, and can scratch easily, and most components are sawdust sandwich or particle board. Instructions were easy to follow, and the company cheerfully replaced one shelf that arrived broken, and provided a touch-up marker to cover the minor scratches. I put some felt pads underneath it to protect my laminate floors from scratching, and on the whole, it will do what i need it to do.One small surprise: the front section of the top is a bit thicker than the back section. It appears to be an intentional design component, though it was unexpected.

we ordered this product not even 2 days before we found it delivered at our door. Right away took apart the 95+ lbs box to check contents. Every piece of cabinet in pristine condition. Doing assembly the instructions were bang on. End product was what was advertised and more. Been happy Amazon junkie shopper for years but this was the biggest cost and mass order that I have ever purchased. Would give 10 star rating if possible. Pleasantly happy and surprised.

It's perfect for holding all the game consoles and games we have accumulated over the years, and it will easily accommodate a larger TV when the times comes to upgrade that. Gone is the rickety college student era tv stand - now we've got a grown-up entertainment stand!
