[...]Looks great and the it was priced resonably. The only con is it took a LONG time to assemble and the directions could have been a little bit better.

I purchased this media piece for our living room; I picked this one out because the reviews were good and it was a good price. The item arrived in the amount of time promised. Me and my husband started to put it together and had to stop because the back panel and the sides would not go together, I contacted Racks and Stacks and they put me in touch with a company that sent me replacement pieces free of charge within three days. Today we attempted to put it together again and were frustrated and discouraged by the quality of the wood and how complicated it was to put together. It took us 4 hours. We almost called the company to return it but it was already 3/4 put together. We will see how it holds up.. Main complaints, wood is cheap, doors do not hang right, legs are not sturdy.. Pieces scratched when it arrived.

Regarding the leg in the back; just don't screw it in so tight and use the sliders and I'm sure you won't have any problems with the 3rd leg even though it should of been made with a heavier piece in mind.

We are very happy with this purchase. I was expecting to have problems with the rear support leg as others have mentioned but did not experience anything bad. The leg seems more than adequate. Perhaps it has been improved.

Service and delivery comments:

There were 2 or 3 minor chips and splits in the wood at some edges but none that are visible after assembly.

I really love the aethetics of this product. It is really the look I was going for and goes great in our living room. My husband assembled it pretty easily- the instructions were good with the parts labeled appropriately. We did reinforce the back leg as other reviewers recommended (thanx to those of you that made the suggestion). We also love the height of the cabinet, as it is a little higher than what we used previously.
The only ploblem that we have- and I guess it is a big one. We us a dish and the with the component inside, we have to leave the door open for our remotes to work. This results in the cabinet door being open almost all of the time. If you use standard cable, this shouldn't be an issue.
Regardless, I am still happy with the purchase and we are getting lots of compliments.

PROS: I was thrilled to find a corner tv stand with a design that I liked.[...]. The online customer review info was invaluable...especially the part about the flimsy back leg on this stand. [...]. CONS: I found the assembly to be a two person job. I have assembled 2 kids'rooms of furniture, as well as a basement full of office furniture, so I've had some experience in this area. The instructions were a bit vague, the pieces were not well marked and I only made it to STEP 2 before I reached an impass. I could not hold the pieces AND secure them together. The cam locks seemed flimsy, and took some patience. Even when my husband was able to lend a hand, it was not a smooth process. After having read the reviews about the back leg, we reinforced it with a couple of L braces without hesitation. It was excellent advice - HEED IT!In the end, we were victorious and the finished product was well wotrh the effort. This stand is a good value, and quite handsome and sturdy (with the exception of the back leg).I would most definately reccommend this unit,[@]

Once assembled, this is very good quality for the price [...]. I did find it a challenge to assemble, so I would allow plenty of time and patience for that. The information about the rear leg posted here was very useful and I think if you're very careful moving this the rear leg should hold up - just never push it, always lift it.

Service and delivery comments:

Delivery was very prompt. I major cross piece did arrive broken which I managed to glue together without a problem. The great service story here is that I emailed (to the address on the assembly directions) that I needed a replacement part and received a personal email reply the next day and the replacement part a few days later! I really did not expect that level of service.

The stand is a beautiful piece--goes great under my new television. I read all of the other reviews and just made sure to fully pick up the stand before moving it. The leg was fine. If that's your only concern, just make sure not to drag it across the floor.

I do like this cabinet, but I also beefed up the attachment of the back center leg with a lag bolt as described in previous reviews. It is the only problem with the cabinet. It looks great and does the job.
