Venetian Marble Top Entertainment TV Cabinet

Rating

I read the other reviews and thought that I might have better luck. Guess not. First off when I first got the unit, like the other person said, the screws bolts and brackets were all over the place. Not to mention the fact that the Styrofoam they used to protect the unit was crumbled all over the place. After sorting through all of that we noticed the top was badly cracked on both ends of, luckily, the back of the top. It wasnt bad enough to try and wrap up and send back like the other person said. Next I must say I like the thought behind this next step but it wasnt thought completely out. The whole stand folds open and you have to attached the braces and decorative pieces. The only problem was we had to re-screw ALL of the brackets back in because they had come loose. Such a headache. But we were determined to get it together because it matched our room so nicely. Then trying to get the top to lone up correctly on the stand was pure agony. The screw holes were not matched correctly and after a long hour battle we just decided that leaving one screw out would hurt too much. The wood itself is very deep and rich, I love it. But it does have scratches and dings. The decorative pieces were even hard to line up on the obviously mis-matched holes The easiest part was putting in the shelving and glass. I love the way it looks in our room so I am happy we could make it work, we ended up placing plants on both sides to hide the damage to the top. But this manufacturer should try a little harder next time.

I was not satisfied with this product.The fake marble is truly fake. It reminds me of wraping paper glued to the piece. During sometime in it's life, part of the fake marble paper had been scrubbed off the wood. I will try to glue that back on. During the assembly process two brackets broke off one of the bottom shelves. I will also try to glue them back on. I would have tried to send it back, but I didn't want to take it apart and try to put it back into the box for shipping. I am an older person, so shipping would have been a great inconvinence because of the weight factor. Because of this, I didn't bother to call Overstock. I also thought about calling for a partial refund, but I didn't do that either. I will just live with I got. I would not recommend this product.

The wood is darker than in add and the top is darker and more browns in it than in ad, hoped there was some hints of yellow on top but thats just a reflection of the yellow wall behind it. Looked like they threw the box around during shipping, there were bolts all over the inside box and had to go buy some screws to finish putting it together. Overall I do like it just wish the color images were more true.
