The only workmanship flaw was that the drawer wasn't center in the final assembly. Perhaps this is easily adjusted, but I haven't attempt to adjust it. The glass is removable which makes it easy to replace it with smoked glass if you are like me and don't care to look directly at your electronics. The finish is dark with burgundy tones. There are holes already cut for threading power cables and wires. The drawer bottom is rough and could use some contact paper to improve its look. I'm happy with the product and it met the expectations for the value. (But, it didn't exceed my value expectations. I did use a 20$ coupon which brought it to a more appropriate price.)
I got this to match the entertainment center I ordered previously. It's a nice matching set, but they have the same issues. The front lower trim piece is about 3/16" too short, so there are slight gaps along the sides near the legs. It came with only one hole in the back so I used a hole-saw to create 6 additional openings to improve air circulation and cord routing. My WII and AV gear still run a little hot, so I may drill more. If you put this on hardwood or tile, make sure you add some felt padding (not included) to the bottom of the legs as they can scuff your floor. This one only took me about 40 minutes to put together, and I was able to use the leftover parts from the previous unit (not that I needed to). Axium is very generous with the hardware. The glass door is reversible. Despite the flaws, I would definitely buy this again, it's a great piece for the price.
I bought two of these cabinets and they have made a huge improvement to our room. They have a beautiful dark brown finish that matches my other espresso-colored furniture. The assembly had many steps, but the instructions were very helpful and easy to understand. Great pieces for the price.
Item is beautiful and priced very well compared to similar styles elsewhere. Looks great in our living space and holds all of our media boxes with ease with room for decorations.. Bottom drawer is spacious and is a great place for extra video game controllers, etc. Made well and very sturdy.
I bought this piece as a temporary media cabinet. The price was reasonable; when I shopped around they were around $$$. It's got a lot of room & a drawer to keep controllers, etc. in. My main complaint is that the backing only has 1 hole to put cords through. I have our Direct TV, PS3, Wii, & (in 3 days a reciever for our surround sound) in it. The PS3 gets hot very fast & makes a loud noise (fan) so I have to keep the door open when we run the PS3. Since this is only a temporary piece until we custom build our cabinet in the nook area, I can deal with it. But, for those that have small kids it may be an issue to leave the door open so your electonical equipment doesn't overheat. Another solution would be to not install the back wall (which is cardboard). Overall, it looks really nice & we've recieved a lot of compliments on it.

This cabinet was just what we were looking for in the price range we were looking to be in. I wanted something quality to house our receiver, cable and dvd for our home theater but didn't want to spend a lot of money. We also wanted something that didn't look too modern and techy, rather something that was a little more decorative. Usually for this price you can only find the fake wood techy looking stands. But this was a great price for a solid wood decorative audio stand. Excellent!

I am a young woman and put this together on my own, so assembly was clearly pretty simple. The wood is a very nice quality, but very dark. I have dark espresso colored wood in my living room and this looks black next to everything else. However, it's not so bad that I can't live with it. I'm using it without the door so that my equipment doesn't get too hot. The only issue with this is that the shelves are held in place in the front by the door, so without the door they can easily be pulled forward and fall. I fixed this by putting clear nubs in front of each shelf on the sides to prevent them from sliding forward. Lastly, the unit is very deep so make sure to be aware of your space! I measured and have enough space in the area I originally placed this, but didn't realize how awkward it would look due to the depth. I ended up having to move it to the corner so that it didn't stick out like a sore thumb in the middle of the room. Bottom line, I would love this piece if it were about half the price. At it's current price it is good, not great.

I have been looking for an audio cabinet of this size for a while. I was hesitant to order something I needed to assemble. Almost every review of this audio cabinet was positive compared to other cabinets I was considering. Delivery was very fast. Item was shipped in 2 boxes, very well packed. Assembly instructions were very clear and there was plenty of hardware, it was nice that they included extra screws, dowels, etc. I assembled it myself in about 3 hours. I drilled an extra hole in the back piece so I could easily include all the wires to my stereo and home theater system. Good quality wood, nice color & very attractive product.
I had been looking for a cabinet that would match my other furniture and would hold all the audio equipment we have. Most cabinets were either too wide, too tall or had inadequate shelving. Not this piece. It exactly meets my needs. Love it!

I was originally searching for a bookshelf to use to hold my cable box, printer, movies, books, etc but wasn't having much luck in finding something with enough space to hold the things I wanted it to without being too tall/bulky. And then I found this! Unit is a beautiful color, has adjustable shelving, plenty of storage space, and is not too tall/wide/bulky for my smaller apartment. The unit will get hot when electronics are on so make sure you keep the door open. My only wish is that it was a little sturdier, sometimes I feel like I'm going to hurt it. Overall, great piece of furniture!

The unassemblied cabinet arrived without damage to any of the parts, all parts were present as expected, and the directions were fairly easy. The only issue with the directions was related to lack of verbage or graphics for attaching the sliders for the bottome drawer. It took less than two hours to assembly the cabinet (by myself). I do recommend placing a couple of plastic bummers on the inside of the cabinet door...just make sure the bummers line up with the shelves so the door doesn't bang when you close it. This is a nice, solid piece of furniture. I'm very satisfied with this purchase.

only thing I didn't consider is that the components do generate heat. because the shelf is boxed in and there is a glass door, and a card board back (with hole) there is no way for the heat to come out really. if the tv is on for awhile it definitely gets warm. not HOT. but i wonder if shelf would warp eventually.. time will tell. otherwise i love it. clean way of storing the components without that techy contemporary look. wanted something that looks like furniture. holds everything we needed. we put the kids gaming system on the bottom shelf and use the drawer as well -- exactly as I intended.

This media cabinet looks great in my living room. The glass doors are sturdy and the stereo system fits perfectly into the shelves. I have a CD player, receiver, and tape player in the cabinet. The drawer at the bottom is nice for extra storage. The piece looks expensive and well made and I'm really happy with this purchase.

We LOVE this media cabinet. It's good, solid wood, well crafted. My husband put it together easily in about 30 minutes. He added a support bar in the rear and left the back off for ventilation of our media devices (WII, PS3, DVR, Stereo head unit, etc.). The storage drawer is great, and can be used to add fans for additional ventilation if needed, but cabinet modification is required. The glass door has a tendency to slam, so we added a felt pad to absorb shock. It looks great, and is the perfect height and size for us. This piece is beautiful.

We love this and it looks great in our living. We have gotten several compliments and it's great to keep items closed up from the baby! You will probably need to cut another hole in the back for wires or ventilation but that's no big deal.

It is a good value for the money. Looks nice. Wobbles a little bit. The wood had a couple of dings in it but overall looked good. Nice look for a decent price.

The cabinet looks and feels better than the price would imply. My only complaint is with the designed dimensions. I would have liked to have seen a deeper cabinet. My HTPC required that I cut out some of the backing so that the cables would clear. Its a minor qualm but with so many HTPC's being used these days, a typical length of a PC might be reasonable to consider. Also, its baffling why the manufacturer didn't include a small rubber piece to keep the door from slamming directly into the cabinet when the door closes. Its cheap enough to go to the hardware store to obtain, but should have been included. The door closes pretty loudly unless you softly close the door by hand. Otherwise, I am quite pleased with the unit.
