Exactly what I needed. This thing seems very well made which makes me question the reviews showing this thing falling off the wall. Only way that could happen with what I recieved is if they didn’t screw into the studs.The French cleat style hanging system is more than appropriate for this design. The attachment to the shelf ,bolts through the mdf, not screwed into as some reviewers would have you believe.Wish the under side of the shelves were finished as I mounted mine about 5’ off the floor to get my electronics close to the connectors I had plumbed through the walls.For the price this is indeed a 5 star product.Finish = comparable with ikea in this price range.Style= kinda retro mid century / I like itExpected durability= maybe could make a move or twoAbout as solid as any mdf furniture can get.

I used two of these as a console for an 85" TV. They were packaged well, arrived with no damage, were easy to assemble and easy to hang and install on the wall. There are two different types of melamine, the top and middle shelf have a core of mdf and the others have a core of fairly dense particle board. They hide the cables behind the bottom shelf and provide access below to connect everything. Very happy with the quality and look of these.

This console is just what we were looking for. It is pictured with our 60” vizio tv. I ordered the grey color. It arrived in pieces but the easy to follow instructions made assembly fairly simple. It looked daunting with all little bits of hardware, but it was basically, “stick these screw things in these (predrilled) holes, now stick these nut things in these other holes, then line it all up and stick it together and twist the nut things to tighten them around the screw things.” I did that alone and I’m not handy. Lifting it to mount to the wall requires two people. The most difficult task was finding studs to mount it to the wall, but that is no fault of the product. It is particle board, but surprisingly heavy and sturdy. I will probably mount the TV above the console instead of leaving it sitting on top, but that’s mostly because I’m not entirely sure I got into the studs, and so I don’t want to test the load capacity at all. But even so, it’s currently holding up Captain Picard, as pictured. I’ll update if it falls off the wall (but even that wouldn’t really be the fault of the product, but my inability to find a stud).

Unfortunately it was missing a couple of cam locks but I easily got some from Home Depot. Only complaint I have is the holes on the left and right are difficult to get cords to from the bottom side. Maybe make it so the lower shelf can be installed after cords are ran for easier install of components. Other then that I love this stand it really opens up my family room!

I LOVE this console. We purchased it shortly before Thanksgiving and I ended up in a race against the clock to get it installed prior to my family coming over for the holiday. It was my first time hosting and I wanted this console up! I got the entire thing assembled by myself in one night, but it was not easy at first. It took some time to figure out the assembly but once I got the hang of it, it was pretty simple to put together. If you're not confident putting furniture together it might be good to have help, or give yourself more time than I did. I've had a lot of experience putting stuff together with my dad so the only help I needed from my husband in the end was lifting it onto the wall Thanksgiving morning. It now comfortably houses a litany of video games and DVDs, three video game consoles and a DVD player, and still has room left over on the top shelf. It also freed up a ton of space in the living room that our big clunky "TV table" had taken up. It makes the living room feel bigger and more organized. Highly recommend.

It cleans up the wires, devices and look of any TV its mounted under. I dont know that I would set a big TV on top of it, especially holding everything else, but its perfect mounted under a TV that's also mounted on the wall, above it.

The assembly, mounting, and cord management were all simple and fast processes. The black mounting bracket CAN be seen when watching the TV, but it is not as noticeable. The cable management area has a slim cut out to fit regular surge protectors, so the heavy duty versions may not fit with cables plugged in.

Excellent quality. Easy to assemble using my power screwdriver as another reviewer recommended! Also cannot not stress enough... make sure you have a stud finder before you install the mounting bracket. I was able to easily align the bracket to four studs (instructions recommend mounting onto at least three studs). I agree with multiple reviewers who mention it is tight to feed the cables down through the plastic cover on the top shelf. I just left the plastic cover off completely. It doesn't show behind my tv (although if your tv is wall mounted, that may not work). Other reviews mention the lack of backing on the component shelves. My old school dvd/VHS player blocks the view of the wall through it, but I can see the wall behind the cable box when sitting directly across from it. I may put some backing paper behind it. Though that would have been easier to do before mounting it! Two people of modest strength needed to lift onto bracket. It's a little too long to manage solo even if you are muscle bound! All in all very happy with my purchase.

Product arrived with some small cosmetic damage, unfortunately it was on the front Shelf in the middle that can be seen. I didn't feel like messing with it, so I'm just leaving as is. Not sure if it came damaged from the factory or was damaged in shipping. The Box seemed pretty well packed when I opened it. Shelves are made out of MDF and particleboard, not the best materials but seems sturdy enough. Fairly easy to assemble, the instructions are not great but still went together pretty easily. All the holes lined up as they should. Mounting on the wall was also straightforward, and the bracket was long enough to get into 4 studs which was nice. One of the screwheads stripped out as I was drilling into the stud, luckily it was not flush, and I was able to back it out with a pair of vice grips. Probably could use better Fasteners than what came with the unit. I replace 2 with better screws I had laying around. Overall not bad, just wish it hadn't arrived with the cosmetic damage.

Looks great. Seems very sturdy. Bracket is long enough to hit 4 studs (mine are 16” spacing). I’ll make this quick:1. The instructions were really bad.. this is pretty easy to put together anyway, but the black and white photos were often just plain wrong.2. GET YOUR OWN BOLTS FOR THE STUDS - they strip EASILY. I have one that’s about 80% into a stud and it stripped so it’s just forever stuck like that. I felt 2 others nearly do it and ended up drilling larger holes to circumvent.3. It’s a major design flaw that if I want to run more cables or add another device I have to take the thing off of the wall and mess with that.4. The back where you hide the cables should have a lip in place to prevent the cables from getting pinched between the console and wall (which will happen every time you try and hang it.5. Mine has a small chip right on the front of the console.Read more

Questions & Answers

Is this safe to mount above a fireplace without a mantle? Will it act as enough of a heat shield to protect my electronics?
This product is made of laminated composite wood (particleboard and MDF) and shouldn't be considered a heat shield. I would recommend a different location for mounting.

What tools do you need?
For assembly you need both a flat head and philips head screwdriver. To mount it, you will need a stud finder, level and drill with a 3/16" drill bit

Are you able to add more devices without taking the whole thing off the wall?
Yes, there are cutouts on each shelf to fee cables though to the bottom. You don't have to take it off the wall. The 5th image shows this more clearly.
