Coventry Media Stand

Pros:

Reasonable price (for this type of furniture)

Open spaces for your electronics (lets heat dissipate), rather than enclosed

Drawer can be left out to create 3rd open shelf and still looks "finished"

Not overly complex to assemble (i.e. not a particularly large amount of hardware for furniture this size)

Holes pre-drilled in the back of the drawer in case you want to keep a game console there

Mostly wood construction, only flimsy pieces are back panel and drawer bottom (typical)

Customer service and technical assistance in US (Dallas Texas), numbers clearly printed in directions

Cons:

Couple of minor dings (OK, I can touch the small ones up with a black marker)

A rather large ding on prominent top piece, I am contacting SEI to obtain replacement piece (will update with results)

Instructions leave a bit to be desired, not all my pieces were labeled (but some were), some pieces are easy to reverse

My parts bag was torn open, parts scattered in the box (but all there)

Fit of doors is hit-or-miss, not always 'square' in the openings, you can mitigate this some by lifting on one side or the other (the unit will flex slightly)

The dowels that support the shelves in the cabinets are not level with each other, as a result one shelf is not stable and will "rock" slightly. For me this is only one one side, and only in one of the 3 possible height positions (the middle one which is really where I want the shelf).

Misc:

Made in Vietnam.

About 70-80lbs.

UPDATE: I called SEI's customer support line regarding the damaged top piece I received. I was able to speak to a human without too much automation, and she arranged for a new top piece to be shipped to me no questions asked and no charge. I received it and the replacement piece was in perfect shape. So, I'll upgrade my rating to 4 stars due to the good customer service.

Product was exactly as described. Strong, sturdy and great quality. Product arrived on time and easy to assemble.

Highly recommend!

This product met all my expectations. It is attractive, easy to assemble, and--for the price--has more hardwood than most. It is quite thin, meaning it is not obtrusive if the look you want is "decorator" other than "techie". The best thing is that it is the right viewing height, as opposed to some stands from "real furniture" companies that may be anywhere from four to six inches higher. Buyers should be aware that the "antique white" is more toward the yellow side. It is pretty much the actual color shown in the photo. I would have given this product a five star rating except for one small oddity on my particular stand: the decorative apron beneath the front edge actually touches the floor. It would look better if it were a bit shorter.
