I can not remember the last time I got something where every piece fit perfectly, the finish of every piece was perfect, and all the pieces were there!! Hmmm made in USA!

This is an excellent alternative to the ubiquitous and monstrous "home theater" cabinets everyone seems to have.

Unlike the cabinets this allows optimal airflow, being open on four sides for each shelf, and is easily height adjustable. So my components which side vent are on shorter shelves while the passive top venting receiver is on a much taller one.

There are only two negatives.

The first is that it does take forever to put together. The assembly is simple and straightforward; it just takes at least an hour. The main frustration is that each shelf is held up by eight nuts which must be threaded over the entire length of each long pole and that takes time. Totally worth it though, IMO.

The second is that due to it being an open design (without a back) there is no way to hide your cables. However, a couple of zip ties and a bit of good cable management will transform that spiders nest into an organized set which is barely noticeable. Much like the electrical cords for lamps audio cables become invisible if well organized & tidy.

If you want a minimalist, attractive, and classy audio/video rack this fits the bill. The walnut is handsome and fits in nicely with my walnut tower speakers, wood floor, etc.. It shows off your setup but doesn't look "techy".

See my uploaded picture to see how it looks in my modest setup.

Good quality, assembles and adjusts easily, and will last forever. Looks nice as a AV center. With neat dressing of the wires, even they do not show.
