(More customer reviews)We got this console because it had plenty of spaces for the audio and visual equipment that we owned for home theater. A BIG plus is it's height, putting the flatscreen up higher for better viewing.
It took a while for the delivery, probably had to get a fully loaded truck to ship it from N. Carolina to IN. However, the delivery men brought it inside the house, assembled the drawer/door handles for us and offered to put it wherever we wanted it. We had only expected them to bring it inside the front door. Delivery was on a Saturday. We appreciated the service, as this console is HEAVY, nearly 200 pounds! It was wide enough for our 58" plasma, but a 65" could also be placed on it as well.
The center channel space was perfect for placing our center channel speaker as well as the Blu-Ray player and a CD player. The lower side shelves held the receiver, VCR, and other items nicely. You have to load the shelf items from the rear of the console as the door hinges would interfere from putting them in from the front. The back panels slip out and have holes for running the wires out the back of the console.
One drawback is that the glass windows are somewhat small and the full width of the receiver cannot be fully seen thru the window. The volume has to be adjusted "by ear" rather than viewing the indicator on the volume control. Otherwise, all other functions are visible.
This console comes in two colors, a light wood and Wenge. We ordered the Wenge and it is very dark, In a normally lit room, it nearly looks black, but you can tell it has a tinge of red to it, like dark mahogony. It blends with our other furniture nicely.
Overall, we are pleased with this purchase. This is a real piece of furniture, not a "slap it together" laminate product. And it looks it too, very nice quality console!
