Love the Aristo Armoire
 from Bloomington, IL,  Nov 23, 2008

We recently purchased the Aristo four-drawer armoire and love it! It is very nice quality - as other reviews have said, it is actual wood and not particle board. It is defnitely a great purchase for the price. We looked at several similar armoires at furniture stores and they were over $1000. My husband put it together and it did take several evenings to get it put together but he had no problems. The directions were very well layed out.

Stylish and solid
 from Georgia,  Apr 21, 2011

I've looked at armoires for years before finally deciding on this one. It is tall (approximately 6 feet), the finish is a rich espresso color, there are architectural details to the piece, and it has a lot of storage. I opted to use the armoire as an entertainment center and the piece houses my 32' older "tube" TV with a large back easily. The armoire also comes with a pole to hang clothes on if you want to use it as a closet. There are internal cubbies for storage (where I have put my Wii, cable box, and DVD player). This is definitely a quality piece (it is super heavy). It does come unassembled in multiple boxes. My biggest complaint is that the piece is extremely difficult to assemble. I definitely needed a strong male friend with a power drill to put this together for me. The most diffcult part of assembly was hanging the doors. If they aren't just right, there will either be an overlap or a gap in the middle where the two doors meet. Now that it is together, it is beautiful. Like with all dark wood, it shows dust. Another bad thing is one of the drawers on the bottom got scratched when it was being put together. I feel certain I can put some putty or a stain over it in the future, but it really did scratch easily. Something of this quality and size would easily cost over a thousand dollars from another retailer. I saw comparable pieces that shipped for several hundred dollars but from here, the shipping was less than $3!

  • Did the color match the color displayed onsite? Yes
  • How is the quality of the product? Good, but scratches easily
  • Did the description onsite accurately describe the product? Yes

Absolutely GORGEOUS!! But directions are lacking
 from New York, NY,  Oct 5, 2010

This piece is absolutely stunning - a HUGE, gorgeous piece that really can hold a lot and hold its own as a centerpiece. The piece is solidly built and made of actual wood! Including the back panels & drawer bottoms that most armoires in this price range skimp out on and instead use a thin piece of particle board. The one difficulty with this piece is that it does take quite a bit of time to put together and definitely needs two people for construction. However, if you have TWO drills/electric screwdrivers, it would cut your time by at least half. The instructions call for just a phillips head screwdriver and it is impossible to construct this piece properly with just a manual screwdriver, it needs power behind it. Once we got our drill charged, the pace sped up very quickly! And if we'd had two drills/electronic screwdrivers we would have been flying through the set-up. A couple of the pieces were mislabeled but we were able to figure it out using some common sense and double checking our visual cues to make sure everything would fit together correctly at the end. Make sure you are diligent when it comes to aligning screws/hinges and you can fit it together perfectly with even doors that don't catch or drag at all. We had to redo one hinge in order to get this accomplished but I am a little OCD when it comes to crooked doors/drawers on furniture and this turned out PERFECTLY. I could not be happier!!!

I had no doubt I would love this piece of furniture. It is everything I expected...but if I did not have a patient friend to put it together it would still be sitting around in pieces, everywhere! It seemed to be a lot of work and actually took more than a day to put together. One piece was broken, however, it did not effect the final product. The end product is definitely worth the money, as it looks and feels very rich. I would recommend being aware of the measurements and where you will put it in your room as it seemed to be larger than what I imagined and I did have a moment where I just thought it was too big and I had no room for it...but as I said, the end product is beautiful and it appears to be high quality and the best thing is that my TV is hidden and I have extra room in my closet since the bottom drawers actually fit quite a bit. . It really completed my bedroom.

Well worth the money
 from San Francisco, CA,  Aug 3, 2010

Gorgeous piece of furniture that looks much more expensive than it really is. The stain is a beautiful expresso. It is definitely quite heavy, so be nice to your UPS driver or plan to have a couple friends around to help you lug the packages inside! I'm very happy with this purchase.

Solid & Fashionable
 from Northern New Jersey,  Jul 29, 2010

I read the reviews left by others before purchasing this piece and was impressed with its' heritage of comments about the quality and look. I received the item in about 2 weeks and it lived up to all comments - including the weight. It went together as expected taking the timeframes described by others ( 4-5 hours ) but the piece is magnificent and the quality is superb - looks and feels like an Ethan Allen piece to me as we own several of these items from previous purchases at that retailer. I would highly recommend this piece to anyone who would ask, it is truly a jewel to find.

Looks expensive
 from Nashville, TN,  Jul 15, 2010

This armoire is a massive, heavy, solid piece of furniture that looks just as good as a $2000 armoire. It's packaged well, and the directions are straightforward and clear. It took me less than 5 hours to put it together alone, although my husband helped briefly at a few points - to lift it, hold the doors while I attached them, and move it into place. The drawers fit perfectly and open smoothly. No odd gaps that often are telltale signs of self-assembled furniture. I love it so much I just purchased the matching Aristo dresser.

Great Piece
 from New York, NY,  May 25, 2010

This piece is awesome - sturdy and great quality. The size is just what I was looking for - HUUUGE in every way- tall, deep, wide. So if you are looking for something small, this is not the piece for you. My only gripe is the doors are not perfectly aligned. One sits higher than the other - the holes for the doors were pre-drilled so Im not sure how the error could be mine. Anyways its not that noticable and I've just learned to live with it. Also, I use this piece as an armoire without the clothes rod. Since its so big, I had to buy more shelving/drawers to make it work for my needs. Othewise there would be a mess of piled clothes that would not be esily accessible. So, I bought two elfa dressers from the container store and sat them on the shelves that came with this piece. These dressers fit PERFECTLY within the armoire as if they were made just for it! However it did add over 300 bucks to the entire piece in order to make it function the way I needed it to. Hope this helps!

Beautiful
 from New York, NY,  May 16, 2010

The armoire is beautiful. Just like it looks in the picture. It was a pain to assemble though. You definitely need two people because it's heavy. Some of the holes were also too shallow so we had to drill them and we had to use wood glue for the washers otherwise the thing wouldn't hold together. But all in all, it looks so much more expensive than the price and it does the job.

Measurements for the interior cabinet are not well specified in the item description. Because I had read another review that addressed this, I contacted Overstock's customer service to confirm that the interior cabinet was 41 inches wide before purchasing the armoire. They confirmed it was 41 and what a surprise it was when I opened the 4 boxes, started assembling and it seemed like my TV would never fit in there. The width is actually a little over 39 inches. Thankfully my TV fit, although with no space to the sides whatsoever. It would have been a really bad experience if I had to disassemble everything and fit in the boxes again to ship back.

Armoire is beautiful
 from Minneapolis, MN,  Dec 7, 2009

This Armoire is beautiful once put together. It took us over 5.5 hours to put the whole thing together. Everything comes separate. It came in 4 big boxes and requires multiple people to help. It is beautiful like I said once you have everything put together. It is the focus piece in our living room and have gotten rave reviews about it.

Beautiful Piece
 from Charleson, SC,  Dec 1, 2009

This is a beautiful piece and was so excited when I ordered it. However, the dimensions given are not correct. The upper cabinet states it's 42" wide, but is only 39" and would not fit my 41" TV. Overstock handled the return promptly.

Bummed
 from Phoenix, AZ,  Nov 28, 2009

I was thrilled with Overstock's turnaround. I ordered this on a Saturday night and it arrived the next Wednesday! The 4 large boxes were delivered inside my home and in perfect shape. I've assembled my fair share of flat pack furniture, this one was a time consuming affair. The company includes plenty of extra hardware which is nice. However, the drawers are flimsy and don't roll on the tract well no matter how much I tinker with them. Also the left door is completely whacked. The pre-drilled holes are off and the door sits about an eighth inch too low. This not only looks terrible, it also rubs on the bottom of the unit and sticks when opening. I would not buy this product again or anything else in this line.

Great buy!
 from Birmingham, AL,  Sep 6, 2009

My husband and I are currently using this piece as an entertainment center for our living room. It looks very high-end. We wanted to hide our 40'' tv which fits perfectly inside it. This is a great piece of furniture for the price you will pay. My only complaint is that it was complicated to put together. Just read your directions carefully. All of the parts have letters taped on them but we ran into trouble when a few of them were lettered the same when they clearly weren't the same part. Pay attention to the pictures as well and you'll do just fine! Be prepared to spend 4-5 hours on this though!

This is a high quality and attractive piece. The kit to put this beast together is huge and it takes hours. Assembly TIP 1: I found some of the bolts used for assembly were difficult to turn far enough to lock with the included allen wrench. I found that a very large phillips screwdriver had a better fit and more torque and made assembly easier.

LOVE IT
 from Virginia Beach, VA,  Mar 13, 2009

I had been looking for some time for the right size, look and color for an armoire and was excited when i came across this piece. This came very well packed. I put most of it together (i am a female) but you definitely need four hands for some parts of the assembly. It took aboutt 4 hrs to put together but the piece is very nice and i think it is great deal for the price.

Great find!
 from tx,  Nov 15, 2008

We were needing furniture for a small room the this did the trick. You will need to make sure you have a friend over to put it together. Many pieces...but worth it. Packed well.

Beautiful armoire
 from Eden, UT,  Nov 13, 2008

Shipping was fast. It was on my front porch when I checked to see if it had shipped yet. It took a while to put together, but it went well and they sent extra dowels and screws. It is a heavy piece of furniture and looks beautiful. It is very dark brown/black, just like in the picture. The style and lines are sleek and clean. Some of the other reviews said there was no particle board in it which isn't true, but it is good quality and I would purchase it again.

Nice product.
 from North Carolina,  Nov 3, 2008

Item arrived qucikly in four boxes. Assembly was not too terribly difficult but I put it together in phases over a period of two days by myself. Probably took me a total of about 4 hours to complete assembly on my own. Piece is very heavy and sturdy and looks great in my bedroom. I would never had been able to move this piece had I not been able to put it together in the same room I planned on using it. I will definately order something else in this line.
