Yarra 2-door Entertainment Unit

While rubberwood isn't the highest quality of woods, and you should take some care not to scratch the surfaces, the entertainment center came out looking great and felt very solid. This unit probably doesn't need to be so deep, especially if you have an LCD TV or Plasma TV on it, but overall, the unit looks beautiful.There have been a lot of comments about the assembly process, so I'll clarify it. There are 22 wooden components to put together using 62 wooden dowels, 132 screws, 58 camlocks, 4 sets of hinges, 12 shelf support pins, and a set of drawer slides. I found the instructions to be simple and very straightforward. I managed to put the entire thing together with a small hex wrench, a small hammer (for tapping in the wooden dowels), and a screw driver in about six hours. I'm sure a second set of hands would have easily cut that down to 3 or 4 hours. Two of the pieces are quite heavy, and some of the steps can be a bit challenging if you don't have someone helping you out.While I feel the number of screws used was sometimes a little excessive, it probably contributed to the extremely solid feel of the final product.

After I read reviews on the product I felt since I am quite the Handygirl I would have very little difficulty assembling this unit. I was wrong. The instructions with the drawings were very confusing. It was difficult on some of the pieces to interpret which was the forward or backward side or which was the upward or downward side. Also, the weight of the piece made it almost impossible for me to assemble by myself, although I consider myself a strong woman. Also, some of the camlocks did not tighten correctly and so I have concerns with the unit coming apart. It has a nice look but I would not recommend this product for purchase for the above reasons.
