Axium Audio Cabinet

Rating

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.

Easy assembly, very solid - I'd expect it to last forever. As with other reviews, it's a very very dark brown - very appropriate sitting beside the large black bezel of a TV

We are very pleased with the product. I assembled the piece in about an hour and a half, with minimal hand tools and a screw gun. The piece was packaged well, and in perfect condition. It was delivered quickly and exactly as stated. This is an absolutely well built piece of furniture. I have assembled several pieces before this that are constructed mainly of veneered particle board. This piece appeared to be constructed of mainly solid wood. The piece deserved a full 5 star rating with the exception of 2 shortcomings. First, the glass door is very difficult to adjust so that the clearance on all sides is uniform, and level with the bottom drawer front. Secondly, there aren't provisions for cooling of the equipment in cabinet. This didn't seem to be a problem with the majority of my equipment, with the exception of the PS3. In order to use it, you must leave the door open or cut hole(s) in the rear of the cabinet.

This is a nice piece of furniture--a good value. Doesn't look cheap. This came in several pieces but the instructions were easy-to-follow. Not difficult to assemble; it just took more time than expected which is why I rated this 3-stars. If you're not a DIY person, this may not be for you. There is only one opening in the back for the wires. I had to make another hole to accommodate all the electronic wires. (I bought an inexpensive hole saw attachment for my drill)

Looks great, and was pretty easy to assemble compared to other furniture I've assembled in the past.Only real complaint was that it wasn't deep enough, most components will not fit into it, and allow the door to shut properly.I had to make some modifications to the dust cover panel in the back and cut slots to allow the cables and even a whole component to hang out the back, so that they would clear the door in the front. It wasn't too difficult, and it actually made installing the equipment easier.The width of the cabinet is excellent though. Overall, it looks great though, and you can't even notice the mods I had to do.
