Aristo 2-drawer Entertainment Unit

Rating

First of all, this is a beautiful piece of furniture. It is rather complicated to put together (took me 4 hours) but well worth the work. The stand is very solid and well constructed. The one thing I would recommend before purchasing this stand is to measure your components. Mine fit perfectly into the side cabinents. By perfectly, I mean absolutely no room to spare on either side of them. This makes for a great look but can be exceedingly difficult for wiring and adjustment purposes. Also, note that the door hinges are on the inside of the cabinet doors. If you receiver is like mine, you will have to take the doors off to get your components inside. If you need to rewire or add a component, the doors will need to be removed in order to fit the new component in the cabinet or to accomodate the removal of your receiver for rewiring.I recommend this stand but make sure you know what you are getting into.

Very pleased with the purchase. The stand looks just as pictured. Great quality.

Another wonderful experience with Overstock. The entertainment center arrived very quickly and in flawless condition. Looks more expensive than it is and really gives the living room a more polished look. My husband is great at assembling so it was a breeze for him to put together but I gave that aspect a 4 since I know not everyone will find it so easy. Highly recommend. I also have the Aristo buffet.

Having read the reviews I wasn't surprised by the difficulty in assembly but by taking my time, analyzing and modifying the instructions, I was successful in completing the job. When I reached Step 5, I used the fixed shelf to provide stability while turning the unit on end using two rented clamps to pull the side panels (C & D) and Division Panels (E & F) together before tightening the Camlocks. After completing one end, I turned the unit over to the opposite end and followed the same procedure. I thought the unit was beautiful and unique in its design from viewing the pictures provided and haven't been disappointed and would like to add the chest of drawers along with the bed table I purchased along with the Entertainment Unit. The 46" Sony Bravia LCD I purchased earlier this week looks terrific on the Unit.

i ordered this entertainment center to be able to put my audio and visual stereo components away in the shelves. The entertainment center is nice in appearance but the shelves are two small to be able to store standard sized stereo equipment. I have a blue ray dvd player that will not fit on the shelves inside the unit. It took about 3 hours to put together. I'm keeping it now that its together and I put the components on the open shelf just below the table surface but I'm disappointed in its usability. Should have been much more for the price.
