Rolling 35-inch TV Cart

Rating

Another satisfying purchase from Overstock! I purchased this cart for our home gym area, primarily because it provides enough shelf space for 3 A/V components. I rate it a "4" on Ease of Assembly, only because it won't be all that easy if you're not familiar with putting together build-it-yourself furniture. There are pictorial instructions, but no written instructions to accompany the pictures. In spite of some challenges with the assembly of the first few pieces (namely trying to keep them level and keep the glued pieces in contact while lining up the next series of pieces), the unit came together square and level, which is more than I can say for other self-assembly products I've seen in the past. It currently holds a 27" CRT TV, 5-disc CD changer, DVD/VCR combo, and a good-sized receiver, so it's definitely sturdy and well-built. The casters are great, too, because we have the unit in a corner, and they enable us to pull the cart out for cleaning without heavy lifting. Overall, I would say this is a pretty nice piece of furniture for the price.

I like this television stand. It looks nice. The CD holders are not really tight, so your CDs or DVDs might not hold in them. I needed my son's help to get this together. I don't think there is any way one person could get it together alone. Four hands are good. I really like that it can either be a corner shelf or up against the wall. That is cool.

I bought this item for my daughter and she put it together by herself. It is just what she was looking for and very good quality.

I was looking for something to put my TV on as well as my stereo/home theater components. I planned on making a cover for the stand, so what it looked like was not important. I read other's reviews and found them to be true and helpful. The wood veneer is really just paper - so you have to be careful about scratches. However, for the price it is very nice. If you read / review the pieces it is not hard to build, but it would be helpful to have 2 people. I used the glue and i do think if you are putting a heavy TV on it you should use the glue. The inside shelves are 20.5" wide. Top shelf 8.75" tall, lower 11.75"tall. This space fit my components fine. Note that the side shelves are shallow - the back of the cabinet is angled. That does not seem to be an issue - the spaces give you room for assorted storage. I ripped out the plastic media holders before I built the unit. All in all I thought this was a great value

Assembly was very difficult with poor instructions. The subassembly was very wobbly and was difficult to keep together as it relied on a combination of glue, wood dowels and a few screws. Some of the holes for the wheels had to be re-drilled to keep the wheels from blocking screw holes for panel assembly. There was some minor damage to the veneer of several of the parts due to poor construction and poor protection during the shipping process. It was a major headache putting it together as there was only a few pictures as a guide with no text instructions. The final product, however looks very nice and works well as a TV table. It is a good value if you don't mind the construction challenge needed to get to a functioning product.
