Buy Sauder Edge Water Panel TV Stand Now
Great construction and solid build. Looks very nice.The only knock, and it's trivial, is that if you run a lot of hot devices in it due to it's closed construction you can get some heat build up. This isn't a knock of the model, but just of the closed-off older style classic design. It's not so bad on ours but is noticeable.
The body is a mix it looks like of real wood and heavy duty press board: very solid. The backing is the typical ultra-heavy sort of thick cardboard/woody material you see these days, that you nail into the frame. There a couple of holes pre-formed into it for running wires into it. I imagine just opening up these holes some more would allow enough heat to bleed off, but I'm not sure what it would do to the strength of the unit. If the vendor sees this they should respond.
We had a more modern open-faced metal and glass entertainment stand in our living room, but with a crawling baby short of putting an ugly fence around it there was no way to baby proof the modern open-face one.
This thing is a piece of cake to baby proof: put a restraint on the cabinet doors, on the drawers if needed, and toss an earthquake strap on the back, which I'll be doing this weekend.After our 5 year old broke our last tv on a stand that had wheels and knocked a component loose, we decided we couldn't get a new tv until we had a stable stand. This piece looks nice. My husband put it together pretty easily, except the doors are a little tricky to line up right, as there is not much room for error. It is very sturdy and looks nice. Doors work easily. We keep a cable box, modem, router and a PlayStation 3 in the glass shelved part. It usually does not overheat; however, a couple times we've heard fans and open the door, which solves the problem.This is exactly as described, easy to assemble and looks like a regular piece of furniture. Typically the RTA furniture looks cheap but this doesn't.
