Prominently display a television on this attractive TV stand from South Shore Furniture’s City Life Collection. Designed for 36-to-40-inch TV screens on its elevated center, the TV stand also provides extensive storage for a range of electronic components, as well as DVDs, CDs, and more. South Shore crafted the TV stand out of strong laminated engineered wood and recycled fibers, with a warm honeydew finish. Silver-coated metal dowels support the elevated TV shelf; the open compartment below the TV shelf easily accommodates a DVD player or cable box. In the main body of the stand, two storage cabinets and a center section each contain two additional storage compartments. Each compartment has a preinstalled hole for tidy wire management, and adjustable shelves enable variation of the compartments’ sizes. Frosted tempered glass doors with silver-finished metal handles protect the cabinet contents. To support the stand, silver-finished bun feet are installed under the corners and center of the stand. The TV stand necessitates adult home assembly. For defective parts or workmanship, a five-year limited warranty covers this item upon online registration. Assembled, the TV stand measures 60 inches wide by 20 inches deep by 23 inches high and weighs 104 pounds.

Mueller For over 2 months my wife and I looked EVERYWHERE to find the perfect unit to house our components since I just mounted the 40" LCD on the wall. We needed certain colors, height and width dimensions and also wanted to hide everything behind glass doors. This unit was PERFECT! I had 2 concerns with this unit though. 1) My Harmony 880 Universal Remote (Buy one of these!!) wouldn't be able to penetrate the frosted glass. 2) Enclosing my components (most importantly the PS3 and receiver) behind doors would cause overheating. I'm happy to report that none of my fears came true. The Harmony works through the frosted doors with ease. I'm also happy to report that my components won't overheat. My last step in the building process was to attach the backing material to the unit. Before doing so I tried to wiggle the unit a little bit and it was rock solid. As a result I left the backing unit off so everything is open in the back. If I was placing my TV on the stand then I probably would have installed the backing but since I don't have that weight I probably don't need the extra support. I have nothing bad to say about this unit. 14 of 14 people found the following review helpful. BEAUTIFUL, WELL CONSTRUCTED, SOLID MATERIALS! By Frank E. Trinkle We purchased this stand on Amazon with a little trepidation, having had bad experiences with DIY assembly furniture in the past... especially items made in China. We were very very pleased however with this unit. The materials used are high quality MDF, and every pre-drilled hole and plug was in exactly the right position. (No off-center or missing holes like many previous items we have assembled). The unit is made in Quebec, Canada, and the company is clearly dedicated to quality! The assembly manual was thorough and understandable. Every illustration in the manual showed each piece precisely as it should be oriented, with every pre-drilled hole shown in the illustration. This is critically important, because it eliminates the potential for assembling any piece the wrong way and having to start over. Each piece is clearly marked with a code that is referenced in the manual, and the company ships the unit with a few extra small items like plastic dowels... "just in case"! Assembly was straightforward and timed at exactly one hour... including downing two cups of coffee during assembly! The description on the Amazon site shows this base as limited to a 40" TV, but we found our 47" Vizio (85lbs) fit without issue and looks great on the stand. (The manual indicates a maximum weight on the top shelf at 185lbs.) As others here have mentioned, the smoked glass on the cabinet doors does NOT inhibit infrared remote use. We have a DirecTV satellite box in the cabinet, and the remote works perfectly through the door. (See the user picture I have posted on this page with notes) PRO's: - Beautiful stand made of High Quality materials - Every piece fits perfectly, and instructions are clear and complete - Infrared devices can be used for electronics kept inside the smoked glass doors - Easy Assembly in about an hour Neutral's: - Plastic legs may become worn after repeated moving by sliding the base instead of lifting CON's: - None really. This is a very well-made unit NOTE: This review is for the PRODUCT and if I could, I'd give it SIX stars. It's really that good. HOWEVER, if I was also rating Amazon's handling of this item, I would drop it to THREE stars due to inaccurate shipping info: - I ordered the unit on 1 December with PRIME 2-day shipping (With the caveat that Amazon stated a 2-5 day processing time on the item's order page) - On 3 Dec, Amazon's Order Tracking indicated that the item had been shipped and that delivery was scheduled for 4 December - 4th and 5th December passed without delivery, so I called FedEx to ask about the tracking number. They said they hadn't yet taken
