2 comments about Salamander Synergy 329 A/V Cabinet w/ Two Doors & Center Channel Shelf (Black/Silver).

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.

1. This Salamander Designs rack is very well made and looks great. It takes a few hours to assemble, but the result is nicer than most home theater furniture out there. Unfortunately, Amazon's shipping (via UPS) didn't go so well and the outer box arrived in very bad shape. I was hoping that the inner box would protect the item, but, alas, one of the two doors was damaged. I'm now trying to get Amazon to replace the door, but they can only exchange the whole unit. The shipping box is completely destroyed, so I've been forced to contact the manufacturer directly. Crossing my fingers...



2. No real complaint about the unit. They should refrain from putting both boxes into one 143 lbs. box as UPS forces driver to deliver without help and my unit, while not damaged, was in a very crushed outer box. If I was not home to help bring it in it might have been a disaster.
   
   Once I started assembly I realized that the instructions for each box assumed different configuration possibilities and were more difficult as a result. The pegs for the shelves were real simple to put in but the illustrations were difficult to follow. Also, when tightening the corner bars they will spin and damage the surface of the bottom shelf.
   
   Once assembled it is a good looking and functional unit.



3. We were looking for furniture to hold our 42" LCD HD TV and came across the Salamander Synergy 323 in Best Buy. They had it priced at $999 which seems to be some sort of price fix since, no matter where I look, including Amazon, the price is the same. At that price this furniture is absolutely in the realm of the ridiculous. Adding further insult injury is the fact that you have to actually put this stuff together yourself. At half the price I would probably have given this 4 stars since it seems to be designed well. The rear panels, for example, can easily be removed for access to your video or audio equipment. Some of the materials, especially the perforated steal inserts, seem somewhat cheap. The rest of the materials that make up the stand are just OK.
   If you are looking to buy an item like this in this price range I suggest you look at a fine furniture store that discounts.



4. No delivery compliants. Package and product like new.
   
   Assembly required, but it's not difficult. Quality A/V cabinet.

1. It can't stand on when I turn it left or right. I need to put something in front of it to make it standable.

1. This is a high quality very well designed product.



2. I was leery ordering this moderately expensive a/v cabinet sight unseen for my new home, but to my amazement it was a perfect fit in both size and beauty. Thick real maple top and bottom panels add warmth and beauty to it's high quality look. It is beyond functional! My 42" Plasma TV fits it like a glove. It hides my components and is the perfect height for viewing the television from the sofa and chairs.
   The black glass panel doors allow easy use of the remote control without having to open them.
   One surprise was how heavy it is! It takes 2 people to lift it comfortably. It was very well designed for assembly and the instructions were easy to follow. Not a good idea to try to put it together without reading them, however, as it is a bit exacting. All tools needed (including a level) are included. You do need a large space to lay out all of the pieces. Overall I am thrilled with the look, function, and quality of this piece of fine furniture.
