Home Styles - Bedford TV Stand

Comments about Home Styles Bedford TV Stand:

Love product, struggled with this company's quality control. Three of the pieces were damaged when I received product, one unusable, the other two so so (wouldn't have bothered replacing if third piece was fine) ... not from shipping, but pieces were packaged up already damaged. Called company, they took info and shipped out replacement parts that day. Great! [...] When replacement parts came, I used only one of them (the main one I needed), the other two were damaged beyond use or were missing parts ... so I used the original ones I had which while they had damage, it wasn't in a visible area. Basic take - once you get a product that isn't damaged, love it. No complaints about quality of the finished product. Just be prepared to wait [...] to get all pieces without damage. I finally got to put my 58 inch Plasma on this - and have no concerns about construction quality. Though the TV does kind of dwarf the product - holds it fine but if you have a TV that big, this piece is borderline too small from an asthetic point of view (see attached picture). This is a build-your-own piece, not a premade, solid wood, piece, so it isn't as strong, but comments others have made are excessive. And for the price, you're really gooding a good piece for the money. Take care when building and it should be solid. Sad the company's quality control is SO bad they package up damaged pieces ... even when shipping out replacements for damaged pieces. [...]

This product needs more than one person to assemble. Once you get the hang of it, it goes along fairly easily. [...] It looks great in my living room.

I like the look of the piece but the overall quality was not to my satifation.. It was slightly bowed so it was quite dificult to assemble and there are small dents and scratches all over.. After you get it out of the box they is little chance to reture this item..

I had been searching everywhere for something tall enough that my son couldn't reach any of our expensive gaming systems and this was the closest thing I found. I read the other reviews and almost went without buying this product, but I am so happy I did. Not only is it sturdy, but I also put the whole thing together by myself being a 120 pound female! I used nothing other than a screwdriver and was able to maneuver it throughout my living room. I would and have recommended this to pretty much all of my friends and just hope that others will not be persuaded by unhappy customers! Great TV stand!!!!

Okay, I'm no expert furniture builder, but I've bought flat-packed furniture before so I know how to assemble these types of things-- but this TV Stand nearly killed me. It took me hours to put this thing together, including the time it took to run to hardware store to buy more cams... which you will need to do, because you will break at least 5 or so trying to get this thing together.

To explain, the furniture is entirely held together with bolt and cams. the way it works is that you screw in a bolt into one of the planks and stick it through the hole of another plank that meets it perpendicularly. At the edge of that plank a circular hole is drilled out to insert the cam, which you turn with a screw driver and pulls the bolt tight and holds the two planks together.

The problem here is that either the bolts are too short or the cams are too flimsy. I ended up breaking about 8 or so of these cams, and had to go buy more in order to put this together. Many of the ones that did hold up got deformed in the process, so I am not entirely convinced that this stand will hold up to any moving.

But anyway, once you get the hang of it, it assembles fairly quickly. I had extra work to do because I was sent two left-handed doors, so I had to drill new holes in one of them in order to put it on the right-side.

But now that it is put together, it actually looks very nice. A lot sleeker and more modern than I was expecting, but that was a pleasant surprise. The furniture itself is very heavy, and I am a bit nervous about moving it because of the poor cam and bolt design. But if you don't have to move it too much, I wouldn't think it's a problem.

Otherwise, there's plenty of room for equipment, and it has some well-placed holes for routing wiring and such.

Would I recommend it? Not really, for the price I would have expected something that was designed better. But now that it's in my living room, it looks great so I am happy with that.

I purchased this stand because of the open shelving to place a speaker on and the glass doors to place our other components in while allowing us to use the remotes without opening the doors. It works perfectly, fits all of our electronics, and looks great, no one would think it was an assembly required piece.

I love this!!! I bought it a little leery from reading some of the reviews, but I'm so glad I did! I was able to assemble it so easily and I'm a 130 lb female and I did it with no help at all! I didn't have any trouble getting it together or in place and I feel it's sturdy and just an overall great piece. The only thing I needed help with was putting my flat screen on top of it! I would highly recommend this to a friend and I already have!!! It does everything I need it to and for the price there's nothing better in my opinion! So happy I bought it!

I love this! It looks great in our living room. Our 52' looks wonderful on it! Very sturdy, but very disappointed about the partical board used in the back. Other than that, its wonderful!

I was very pleased with this TV stand. It took a little while to assemble but with no problems. I love the look and I am thinking of getting the side pieces to go with it.
