Winsome Wood Hailey Wood 3pc Media Center, Modular

I'll be brief.

Pros.

* At first touch/sight, the particle board looks like solid wood.

* It was the only thing I could find for the price to hold my 73" DLP TV.

* Seems Durable

* Easy to assemble.

* It's a nice good height and holds most of my equipment (receiver, cable box, two game systems, and some baskets with accessories).

* My wife, who has expensive tastes, isn't appalled.

Cons.

* Particle Board

* When I wiped it down, for the first time, some of the stain came off onto the rag.

* It arrived in two shipments (three boxes) 3 days apart.

* The large center piece delivered by fedex ground, arrived opened, (basically the top box was not attached to the rest of it) thankfully nothing was damaged.

* The dimensions of the shelves are only 19" x 19" (give or take a half inch).

* The three pieces do not connect to one another.

* The shelves are not adjustable.

I'm happy with the purchase. It looks good in my media room.

Color is nice and rich (quite dark), construction is strong enough for my 65" Plasma with no worries. The feet are very narrow and the side panels are as well, but it's been just fine. I put my Onkyo receiver (TX-NR818, which is taller than average by at least an inch) into a middle bay and it just barely fits with a pinkie width of space above it for air circulation, so not a lot of room. But I've had no issues with heat so far. The shelves are fixed height, but they are also removable. If you needed to adjust them you could drill new holes for the pins holding the shelves up, but that would be a pain to do. I would recommend doing that before construction if you can. The only issue I've had with the units is the smell of the finish/stain (I guess that's what it is). It is a very strong smell and has remained that way, getting slightly better over two months but still strong enough to bother my wife. I don't notice it too much anymore, however. If you put this in a small room without good ventilation it could really bother you. On the plus side, it does really look more expensive than it is. Nice clean look to the design. I would buy it again.

This is a terrific looking stand -easy to assemble with well illustrated instructions. The only drawback, which isn't a reflection on the final product, the shipper, Fedex, did all they could to destroy the boxes and packaging. It was only luck that the product wasn't damaged.
