A Must have Griege (A brown and grey color mixed)
I love this set. The color Greige was perfect in explaining the color of the furniture that we purchased. I love this company because when I reached out about one of the pieces missing, they shipped out a new item the next day, which allowed me to get the needed piece and return the other product. The instructions were perfect and I was able to put this product together within one hour. It fit perfectly in her space getting rid of 40 year old furniture. It was sturdy and the quality was durable. It was the perfect height for her living room and it was great for the money that it cost. Definitely a value for the money.

Good value. Looks nice. Be patient while assembling
I am always very open and honest about my reviews. I don't leave 5 star reviews unless I really believe in something. First off, this entertainment center ea extremely packed well. Somebody spent a good deal of time figuring out how to get every piece precisely into the box with the exact amount of foam and packaging to protect it. First off, you should ditch the tools that are included because they will cramp your hands up and you will drop them constantly. Instead, go to your toolbox and get a good set of Allen wrenches with handles and a good wrench, trust me, you'll save yourself a lot of frustration. It took me four and a half hours to put this thing together by myself. There are so many pieces but mostly, there are tons of bolts and screws that go in to putting this together. I had to take a break 2 hours in because the instructions are not all that great. You really need to study the instructions and I did not study them when I first put it together and I ended up putting the tall bookcase ends together backwards so I had to take them all apart to put the braces on the back side which I didn't even see in the instructions until after I had assembled everything. The unit looks very nice when it's all put together and I like the fact that I don't have to connect the two tall end shelves to the unit itself but I can if I want to. I have an Hawkins Woodshop fire Omni 65 inch tv and it looks amazing sitting on this thing. Historically, I've hung my television on the wall but recently decided to try something different and this is definitely different. I love how the unit comes with an outlet for two regular plugs as well as usb plugs plus it comes with led lights and a remote so you can add some aesthetic value while you're watching television. One thing I don't like is, the shelving is very thin and the screws go right into the side of the engineered wood. This is what supports the shelving if you put anything on them so, I would not recommend putting anything with any weight on it as these will eventually erode away and step off but right now, they look good. Another issue I had is, inside the engineered wood are these metal inserts in which you screw bolts into them to attach to the top of the entertainment unit itself as the top shelving. On each of these inserts on the right side, all the inserts came out of the wood and they just spin when I try to tighten them down. Now the top of the shelf is free-floating because it has no ability to hold those inserts that have stripped away and are spinning freely. In my honest opinion, this is not going to be a family heirloom that you will hand down generation to generation. As I mentioned, it took me four and a half hours to put this together and, although it looks nice and feels reasonably sturdy, I doubt this is going to last very long simply because the engineered wood is too thin and the screws strip out very easily even with tightening them gently. So when you assemble this, make sure that you do not tighten the screws down too hard because they will instantly strip through the engineered wood. So moving forward, I think the unit looks really nice it definitely took time and patience to assemble but it also looks really handsome with my big television sitting on it. The price point for this item is proper given the fact that you have to spend so much time putting it together. If you are a diy kind of person and enjoy a challenge, this is a nice little unit for a very fair price and I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again if they were to make the shelving engineered wood a little more beefy. Thank you Why did you pick this product vs others?:I chose this entertainment center for its price and good reviews. Most people seem very happy with it. It's a nice little entertainment center and the price is great if you don't mind assembling it yourself. Ease of assembly:This item was definitely not easy to put together. You'll need a lot of patience because some of those screws and bolts going to extremely tight spots and you constantly have to pull the wrench out and started over and over each turn but, for the price, it's worth the extra labor necessary to assemble it and it's a good value. Value for money:If you don't mind putting in four and a half hours to assemble this thing, it will be a good value for you to have a nice looking piece of furniture.
