1. This cabinet goes perfect with our new decorating theme and matches the CD/cassette player we purchased. It was easy to put together and looks great in our livingroom.



2. This really goes well with the stereo. Well built and looks great. Good value for the price.



3. The cabinet matches perfectly with the player. It holds records cds and tapes. Just right for my needs!!



4. Although the cabinet is supposed to be the same color as the songwriter, the color was slightly off. I was also disappointed that the cabinet pieces did not fit as well as they should have when I put it together.



5. item was well worth the price and the time for shipping and delivery was great.

5 comments about Salamander Synergy 236 A/V Cabinet w/ Two Doors & Media Drawer (Walnut/Silver).

1. I really do love the beauty and the well thought out design behind the Synergy system. It is a modular design so you can always come back and expand on the system in the future.
   
   It took me many hours to put it together (and I will explain more below on this).
   
   The pieces are all very sturdy (thick wood, strong and heavy vertical supports) so you know it can hold a good amount of weight. Even the secondary pieces (such as the rear boards) are nicely made. There is nothing "cheap" looking about this system at all.
   
   The cherry and black option also looks very nice (it looks a little darker than what I noticed on the monitor). I would have liked it if somehow they could make it so the heads of the top screws are not exposed.
   
   OK so what am I not happy about? First off...it was missing two pieces (a washer and a silver screw knob on the rear). I ended up using things from my toolbox to supplement.
   
   Almost every piece has minor dings or scratches...I could live with almost all of them. When I finally put all of the pieces together and it was time to put the top piece of wood on...I was shocked to see that there were a couple of long gashes (about 6 inches long...a second smaller one about 2 inches long) on the top piece. They look like someone dug a tool into the wood by mistake.
   
   I discovered this after many hours so it took me even more time to swap the bottom piece for the top piece. I am very very unhappy that the maker cannot ship this in a way that the scratches do not occur.
   
   The box that it came in looked very well packaged so I don't think shipping is the problem. I think it lies in the maker's internal quality control before the pieces get to the box.
   
   I think one thing they can do to improve on this is use more of the protective plastic wrap. They put protective plastic wrapping on all the black pieces of wood which you peel off...why can't they do this on all the other major pieces as well?
   
   If you want to order this system (why wouldn't you, it's a great design that looks very nice and simple), I recommend taking all the pieces out and inspecting them. If it has dings like mine did, strategically figure out which location the piece with the hideous scratch should go to first before spending a ton of time.
   
   Because believe me, after hours of working on it and the weight of this package will make you not want to return it.



2. The Salamander Synergy 236 A/V Cabinet is an extremely well-made and handsome piece of furniture that looks like it will last for generations. This is not some cheap, Ikea-like piece of junk, despite the fact that assembly is required. (By the way, make sure you give yourself a solid three hours to put the cabinet together. It's not necessarily difficult, but you will need to take your time so as not to make mistakes.)
   
   The furniture arrived in perfect condition and was packaged and shipped extremely well.



3. I bought a Synergy 236 with black/aluminum posts from an online vendor. They had the best pricing and my stand was custom ordered with side covers and left and right doors with perforated steel. I opted not to get the center door and/or media drawer to allow more air to my A/V Receiver plus I wanted to put my center speaker on top of it. I also bought Salamander Saturn Wheels to replace the supplied foot level stands. Both the Synergy 237 and 236 requires 8 wheels.
   
   Before I continue I want to say that I bought this $1200+ TV Stand because of the quality of the parts, looks, shelf adjustability, shelf space, and customization. I was looking at the cheaper stands but the wood was too thin, shelves were in fixed positions, small shelf space, and some didn't have doors and if they did they had poor ventilation and looked ugly. My friends thought I was crazy spending that kind of money on a TV stand and teased me saying "Does it come with a TV at that price?".
   
   Shipping took about a week and the stand came in several boxes. 2 of them were very heavy. I installed the Synergy 236 on a weekend and it took me about 3hrs to finish it! That doesn't include installing the back panel to do the wiring. Having the Saturn wheels installed made the rest of the job easier but I did get confused when installing the shelf pegs. I actually thought Salamander forgot to put more pegs but realized I did something wrong in the installation and that fixed my problem.
   
   Overall I am very happy with my decision in getting the Synergy 236 with no regrets. If you're thinking about buying and installing the Synergy 236 then my advice to you is that you're going to need a lot of patience, common sense, and a good strong back when installing this stand.



4. I had shopped IKEA and on line for TV stands and cabinets to find something I would like that would fit with my decor and support a 46" flat panel TV I was planning to purchase but I couldn't seem to find anything even close to my desires for a reasonable price until I saw this Salamander Synergy cabinet offered on line at a discount if purchased with the very TV I was interested in buying. What luck! Though I wouldn't normally purchase furniture without actually seeing it in person first, I was so worn out from "shopping" that I bit the bullet and ordered the cabinet. I'm very glad I did. It's a well-made and very sturdy cabinet. It loses the fifth star only because of the tedious assembly process required and the fact that the nuts and bolts package was one custom bolt short, which is always a bummer. There are 3 shelves and 1 drawer, all which can be "infinitely" adjusted, including putting the drawer in the upper position (which I did) unlike the unit in the photo which shows the center drawer in the lower position. You'll spend some time getting the shelves adjusted, however, because each is supported by 4 corner ledge-bolts that slide in channels of the upright aluminum posts. This is what makes them "infinitely" adjustable and is also why you'll need some patience. And make sure you install the drawer where you want it; in the upper or lower postion. If you change your mind after you've assembled the cabinet, you'll have to remove the top of the unit before you can make the change. By the way, there are 8 feet that support the cabinet off of the floor and each is adjustable.
   
   Nice unit, well-made, handsome, functional, strong and sturdy.



5. Got this TV stand from Amazon and we love it. The white-glove service ppl came in and opened it up and took the box and nylon with them.. It took a couple of hour to put together but it wasn't that hard, you would have to look at all the pieces first and the instructions that come with all these pieces to figure out the best way to proceed with the install. Once you have it assembled it looks great and of very durable good quality wood.

1. The Salamander Synergy 329 is just the right shape and size to hold a 40-inch HTDV on top with a Yamaha YSP-4000 on the full-width shelf below and 4-6 other components behind the doors at the bottom. Unfortunately, the quality and finish of all materials used are far below what anyone would expect for this price. The appearance when assembled looks cheap, and clearly will look worse and worse with only a little use. The design does not facilitate access, cabling, or cooling for electronic equipment, as you would expect.
   
   The manufacturer packs the parts with inadequate protection, so they arrive all scratched, and in my case with the corners of both the top and bottom panels chipped and broken, detracting further. All parts are in a single cardboard box, which is too heavy to ship by UPS (and too heavy for one person to lift). Amazon's inside delivery was very careful, and the Salamander box arrived "in apparent good order"--all the damage was hidden inside the box, caused by its poor packaging design. My package was also missing the important "template" for marking locations of parts, which made assembly more difficult, but even if I'd had the template the assembly would have been unnecessarily intricate and complicated. Assembly takes a couple of hours, and requires tools not included. Assembly instructions are poorly written and illustrated. (To see all this done right, order similar technology furniture from Anthro, where every part arrives cradled in perfect packaging, in multiple boxes so it can be shipped by UPS, and assembly is simple and straightforward, with all needed high-quality tools included.)
   
   I'm going to look for this same layout and dimensions, but in a better quality and with more appropriate design, to replace the Salamander cabinet as soon as possible. Definitely not recommended.



2. It is a perfect fit for a 46" LCD and can accommodate just about any piece of electronic within the cabinet. It also includes space for a moderately sized center channel speaker such as my Klipsch RC-64 (one of the only 2 stands I was able to find where it would fit after days of searching online) and that could also hold its weight of about 62lbs. I must say, I am very pleased with the quality of materials and how it all arrived. It is packet very carefully in order to protect all items (did not find a single scratch). Although the box was somewhat heavy (about 120+ pounds), the delivery service person seemed to have no issues getting it into the house with a hand truck. The template to measure the height of the inside cabinets was actually missing, but a level (a small one is even included) could also be used to ensure the shelves are placed straight.
   
   After spending about 2 hours building the stand, everything attached well enough to make it seem as if it were professionally built and is very sturdy which is great considering the stand is holding over 200lbs worth of equipment. I must say it is a pleasure to look at every time I pass by it, and have even had friends ask for the price as it does not have a cheap look to it but the contrary.
   
   PS. The stand actually looks much better than the picture provided by amazon and the manufacturer.
