This review is for both the Altra Carson TV Stand for TVs up to 70" and the Audio Stand. I purchased one TV stand and two audio stands (both in black/cherry) and they look great as a set. The total set is about 98" wide so you will need a long empty wall if you intend to set up the full set. The items cannot be purchased as a set with the 70" TV stand size. I received the audio stands first so I assembled them prior to receiving the TV stand. It about two hours to put together the two stands. The most challenging part to assemble was the doors as you have to use a guess and check method to get the doors aligned correctly so they do not scratch against the top and bottom when they open and close. The top of the stand is about 55" tall, and you essentially get four shelves on each stand in addition to the storage behind the door. The instructions advise not to put anything on the top of the stand, but if you have something less than five pounds that is not breakable I think it would be safe. The storage area behind the door is very spacious, and I was able to fit about 55 blu-ray discs and almost 100 CDs (I put the CDs in the back and the blu-ray discs in front, so in the picture you can't actually see the CDs).The TV stand was more time consuming to put together than one audio stand which makes sense because it has many more parts. The box weighs about 98 pounds, so it is strongly recommended to have someone help you move the box especially if it is going to be between floors. When assembling the TV stand, you will need a good deal of floor space to lay all of the pieces and hardware. The directions were very straightforward, and as with the audio stands the door hinges were the most challenging. The instructions do not list a drill as a required tool, but I do not think I could have assembled the doors without one. Without a drill, you would probably need a second person to hold the door in place while screwing. The storage behind the doors on the TV stand do not have nearly as much room as the audio stand, and are more appropriate for remotes, controllers, and manuals than media. Each level of the TV stand has a wide opening for cords in the back, but no real cord management system. I used cable ties and mounts to better organize my cords. I have a 65" TV, and it is about 1.25" away from the edges on each side, so a 70" TV would definitely be the largest size one could have without having the TV extend beyond the edges of the stand.When put together, the TV stand and two audio stands look like one complete unit as the height of the TV stand is the same as the bottom level of the audio stand. The only change I would have liked is if the entire top of the TV stand was black like the 50" TV stand as the shelves of the audio stand are all black (on the 70" model the center section of the top is black but the sides are cherry). Otherwise this is an excellent looking and very sturdy unit.Read more

Buying this type of furniture online is always a risk. I read a bunch of reviews stating that they receive their units with damage. The damage its done with all the transport and there is nothing we can do as customers. I will be honest and say that the furniture is nice. I received mine in good condition. Assembly took 3 hours since i took my time to do everything right. On the manual there is a couple of errors but nothing impossible to figure it out. I have a 65 inch tv that fits perfect on this unit.

This is a good product for the price, but I have to mark it down for three reasons:1) The particle board stripped the very first time I screwed in a metal riser.2) Half of the vertical particle board slats do not use dowels for alignment (the other half do) and this makes it easy to have a misaligned screw that causes a bulge in the slat.3) The black shelves all had slight damage at the edges.The good news is that the stripped particle board is easily repaired with a good wood glue and clamp. In addition, the bulges in the slats and the damaged shelves aren't visible unless you are really looking closely at them.I'm not sure how long this product is going to last, but I bought it because there wasn't a good selection of stands for my 55" Samsung KS8000. I didn't like any stand available at any price. So, I cheaped out until something comes along that I like. If you're in the same boat, then this is definitely an excellent choice for a temporary solution. It may be a good choice for the long term too, but it's hard to tell given the questionable quality of the particle board.I almost gave this four stars, but you know what? Any product that requires immediate fixing with wood glue can't get more than three stars. Sorry. It is an attractive stand at normal viewing distances.Read more

Absolutely disappointed in how cheap the quality is. I should have known at the price point it was too good to be true. Let’s start with the assembly, you need two people and it will take a solid hour. I should have stopped and packed this up then and there but I tried to make it work. While attaching the legs on the stand, the fake wood pretty much dissolved and the leg could no longer be screwed in. I didn’t even put it too tight for that to happen but it did. So we took off the other legs and decided F it, we will use it without the legs and have it lay flat on the floor.About a week later my very curious puppy decided to have a field day with the corner of the piece. I was horrified at how easily the strips that go around the piece were coming off. To put this in perspective on my last tv stand (made of actual wood) my puppy was not able to make serious damage if she tried to chew the corner. Long story short the piece completely came undone with the slightest of efforts. A month after being put together the door fell off. If you live alone with no pets and no children this may possibly work for you. But I would recommend investing in a quality piece.

This is the kind of item that you should never purchase online. I just learned that lesson the hard way.This item is very poorly made. Many of the screws did not fit into the holes so I had to use a power drill to widen them. Also, several of the pieces did not line up properly.Do not waste your hard earned money on this flimsy Chinese junk.

The natural color of MDF tv stands is a brown/red color, but you can always paint or stain the surface to suit your style tastes and preferences.
