Thornton Media Cabinet

Miracle One: This was left on the front porch in a damaged box. Luckily, the packing materials did their job and nothing was actually marred. Miracle Two: The furniture pieces and hardware were all there. Miracle Three: The instruction booklet was obviously written by someone whose primary language was English and thought out in logical progression. The illustrator was just as good. Miracle Four: The sole tool necessarry to construct this piece is a Phillips head. An electric screwdriver is a big help but all the holes lined up perfectly and even the doors hung true right away. Miracle Five: Working alone, this cabinet was finished in just under an hour even factoring in Monday night football on in the background. This unit is not only handsome but functional. The shelves are adjustable and of an adequate size to be useful. Tip: Install silicone rectangular sliders under the corners for ease in positioning. The cabinet is flush and has no hand-holds except for opening the doors. I waited a long time to choose a flat screen unit that would complement a bedroom space. This one is stellar.

We used this cabinet underneath a wall-mounted 50" flat panel TV & it looks great in our family room. It is slightly darker in appearance than the photo which was what we wanted. Love the slight Asian influence in the design, it mixes well with our other furniture. Assembly was no problem. I assembled it alone in about 30-45 minutes. The unit is heavy & sturdy, looks nice & is deep enough to hold all of our components.

I was looking at *****, ***** etc. where they had a similar piece for around $400 plus $60 shipping. I decided to take a chance on this one, and I am so glad I did! It took about a week to arrive, and then I paid $50 to have it put together -- I don't trust my skills there -- so total was about $****. It is absolutely gorgeous, even a little nicer than the more expensive options. Net-net, Overstock may not be a bargain basement deal for furniture of this quality, but it offers amazing value. Thanks guys!

Compared to other TV consoles we looked at, this one has turned out to be more than we imagined. Yes, there is "some assembly required" - but my husband and my four-year-old put it together in less than an hour (including the time to take all of the pieces out of the box). The piece itself is wood (the mdf is the backer piece) and it is beautiful. All of the pieces fit together well and nothing was scratched or dented from being shipped. The piece arrived much more quickly than we ever expected (even though we ordered around Christmas, which we certainly expected to slow things down and it didn't!). It is a sturdy piece and the glass doors hide eyesores like video game components well. The shelf heights are adjustable on both the main section and the sections behind the doors, making it fully customizable to your particular components. All in all, this is well worth the money and the small investment of time to put into assembling it.
