4 Stars Great
if you have a black 50″ plasma tv then this tv stand pulls the look together quite well! plenty of storage!

4 Stars Wheels?
Contrary to others, my assembly was smooth and painless.

One of my shelves was not laminated on both sides, but who looks at the bottom of a shelf.

The only thing I didn’t care for were the feet. Yes, they’re adjustable (nice touch), but I’m going to replace them with casters. Even without the TV, the stand loaded down with DVDs doesn’t move easily.

5 Stars Graet Item
This is a great TV stand for those who also need the spacious cabinets to use as storage for DVD’S, or Videos or even books…It is very stylish and made from very quality components. The assembly took less than two hours. Over all, very happy to have this item.

5 Stars Great product but a pain to put together
This TV console turned out wonderfully. The pieces seemed to be well made. I’ve had problems in the past with cheap screws, etc being put into build it yourself products. However, this product does not have that problem. All pieces are sturdy. The problem it does have though, is that the directions are very vague. It won’t say which direction a piece of wood should be placed. You have to figure it out based on review of future steps and deduction of what the thing should end up looking like. This was frustrating. Also, none of the pieces are labeled so you have to use their not so great drawings to identify which piece you should be using. I’m pretty good at building furniture and it took 3 hours to put it together. But after it was done I was very satisfied with the piece.

3 Stars Product was good, watch out for shipping.
I purchased this item with other items, including a big screen tv. The overall shipping for the order was not bad. However, when I took a closer look, the shipping on this item was $130 for a $170 item. Came out to exactly $300. When I was finally able to get through to them, they said they had mis-priced the item and had to make up for it with the shipping. In fairness, their price was better that target and some others even with the large shipping. It was my fault for not seeing how much the shipping was in the first place, even though it is kind of greyed out when you select the item. Another note, Amazon will not help you at all with this vendor. They simply gave me a number that when answered, the vendor said they do not deal with Amazon.

As far as the item itelf, I had no trouble putting it together. It seems fairly sturdy and holds quite a bit of stuff. The instructions were decent, but it would help if the parts were tagged and the picture showed which direction the painted vs the rough sides go on some parts.

All in all, I am pleased. It looks good for the price. I resented the attemp to mislead, but they did answer my e-mails and tried to explain.

5 Stars Great tv stand
This tv stand looks incredible and I love it. Also it gives more space to put other accessory items. Z-Line is a great company to deal with and they have superior customer service.

3 Stars Glass Shelves have a lot of deflection
The pruduct looks nice with nothing on the shelves, solidly supports the TV, and was not diffucult to put together. My problem with the product is the two glass shelves. Both deflect (sag) at the center of the shelf. This occures slightly under their own weight, but set a cable box on one and stereo reciever on another as I have, and this deflection is obvious and can be seen across the room. Each shelf is rated for 65 lb, I would guess that I have less than 10 lb on each and am experiencing this problem. It would be great with heavier duty shelves.

4 Stars Looks great & easy to assemble
After seeing many other tiems, I decided to purchase this stand for my Samsung 46″ flat screen and miscellaneuos components. I was very pleasantly surprised when I was able to put it all together in about 1 hour. The only part I needed help with was mounting the tv as it takes 2 people. It is well worth the price, nothing was broken or damaged.

5 Stars Contempory Look, Many options.
I was looking for a stand to mount my new 52″ Sony LCD, and this item from Amazon looked sharp and had a good price.

A tip of my hat to the reviewer who assembled this in 1 hour – it took me closer to 3, but admittedly I am no handyman.

It did take two people to mount the TV once the stand was mostly assembled, but I guess with some imagination a person could do it alone. I would not want to risk damaging my new $1500 TV.

Since I know my limitations, I took my time, read the directions carefully, with very few missteps. The extra hardware included would make it possible to mount virtually any kind of flat panel TV; LCD or plasma. I’ve seen it advertised for a mount for a 46″ TV, but my 52″ looks great, and this stand is heavy and solid enough to support a TV several inches larger.

The metal and fiberboard top is pained a shiny black, and the finish really does look like it could be on a piano. The glass shelves offer plenty of room and sturdiness for any components you might want to add, and the horizontal swivel is a big plus.

There are of a variety of mounting heights. The bottom of my TV is the minimum 24″ off the floor, but it could have gone about a foot higher.

The price does fluctuate. I paid closer to 2 Bens than 3, and I would recommend watching it until it hits that price point, with free shipping.

This item is made in China.

2 Stars Ordering from 6ave was a hassle
I ordered a TV stand from this company and the estimated date of delivery was supposed to be between March 5 and March 10. March 9 rolls around and I still had not received any shipping confirmation. I emailed them wanting to know when I would be receiving my item. 6ave replies to my email with a vague response- Something like, sorry for the delay, your item is being processed and will ship soon and you’ll get a confirmation once it’s shipped. Mind you, they already charged my credit card. March 13 rolls around and still no stand. This is 3 days after the estimated shipping date. At that point I would have been able to file an XYZ claim with Amazon. So I emailed 6ave again to let them know that I still haven’t received anything and that I would be filing the claim. They said that unfortunately, I wouldn’t be getting my TV stand until sometime during the week of March 16. They gave no explanation for the delay. At that point I didn’t want the item anymore. So they said they’d intercept the package and give me a refund. A week later I hadn’t received any credit on my credit card. I emailed them again and they said that they have to wait for the item to return to them before they can process the refund and that it would be another week until they receive the stand back. Whatever. I finally got my refund from them a few days ago. I would not order from this company again. It’s not worth the hassle. I feel that they don’t inform customers of delays or shipping info unless you push them for any sort of answer. The up-side was that they did respond quickly to me complaints and I did eventually get my money back.
