1. Once I got it all assembled, I am pleased with the product.
   
   It has clean lines, great wood grain and color. It really looks like furniture you would purchase from a furniture store. I've put 2 coats of Old English furniture polish on it already :) and I am very pleased.
   
   I found the installation instructions a little "abstract" at first, but once I got out all the parts and matched them up with the pictures, the concept come together. I would recommend that you DO NOT use a power screwdriver tool, due to the screws are pretty soft and may cause stripping the screw heads--all are Philips screws.
   
   I found no damages but that could be because I went to the Circuit City store and picked it up myself, rather than it being shipped via ground shipping to me. The outer cardboard box it comes in is not heavy enough for something that weights nearly 100 pounds. The box is too flimsy to take much rough handling. I can see if it has to endure much handling in shipping, the outer cardboard could weaken and become mashed.
   
   It took me between 1 and 1.5 hrs to assemble, but I took a few breaks in between.
   
   Based on the cost and it's style, appearance, and functionality; I would definitely recommend it to others and would consider purchasing similar pieces from Tech Craft.

3. Recently bought a TechCraft SWP48-48 inch credenza for a 52 inch LCD HDTV. It was an excellent quality for the price. Very sturdy. Looks like a very nice piece of furniture. Looked at others that were much more expensive and not as good a quality or finish. Very pleased with our purchase.

4. I'm very pleased with this product. Because of earlier comments, I was concerned about the shipping and assembly. But it came packed very well, with individual pieces separated as needed by styrofoam. As for assembly, all the parts were in bubble packs and easy to identify, and the instructions were clear. There is a lot to assemble, but it went together in a straightforward manner. All dimensions were very accurate.
   
   I'm very satisfied with the product.



5. I love my new TV stand. My boyfriend put it together so not sure how easy that was. It looks great though!! I hear this has been discontinued as I had to go through 4 different vendors b/f I actually received. Many sites SAID they had it but none did. Amazon finally came through.

1. The picture is misleading. It looks like it should be translucent and cover the entire front of the ipod touch, but it doesn't. Instead it goes around the touch screen. So I had to buy another screen protector. It does however, protect the ipod from scratches. It would have been much cooler had it been exactly like the picture.

5 comments about SONOMA COLLECTION CONSOLE VIDEO BASE.

1. Took a little while to put together, but overall a great product. It looks nice, works perfect for our 46" flat screen TV stand and is light weight enough to move around easily. Would recommend this to others...just be prepared to take 2-3 hours to assemble after it arrives. The only other caution is that the finish scratches easily...especially on corners or edges...so be careful.



2. I bought this for my wife to replace my ugly bachelor style MDF/Sender Block "entertainment" unit. I was very happy with the price, and more than impressed with the packaging to prevent damage during delivery. Be ready to have someone help you move it into your home as it is incredibly heavy for one person. I had to flip it end over end to walk it through my front door (this is not the recommended procedure in case you are wondering). If you have stairs, setup your chiropractor appointment first. From that point I opened the box and took out all 5 million parts. I opened the directions and got started. There is nothing complicated about assembly, but set aside an easy 3-5 hours to work on it. Having built many of these "type" of various units, I now prefer to take my time and double check everything before I get half way through a project and have to start over. I suggest the same. Almost every piece on this unit requires that you glue many wooden pegs for support. While I like this from a construction standpoint, I'd be lying if I said it did not take me a while to complete it.
   
   Over all the stand is functional, the perfect size for my Sony 60" XBR TV. It holds my 4 main components and all different type of remotes function through the glass. The drawer is nice as it holds extra remotes so I know where to find them. I also like that the back is solid wood and not cheap cardboard....so there is a lot of support. The only "Con" is that the center speaker section in the center of the stand is not big enough to hold any real quality center speaker. Mine is currently on the floor in front of the TV stand as a result. At this time I'm not sure how we plan to remedy that. All in all I'm happy with the stand. If you have the time and you have the brawn, then I would more than recommend this stand for you.



3. Yesterday and today (about 3 hours total, even with my 5 yr old "helping" me) I assembled this TV stand, and I'm very happy with it overall. Delivery from Amazon was faster than promised, and there was no damage to the unit when it arrived.
   
   Positives: 1. Very solid construction. This unit is very heavy in the box, but once it's assembled it is very sturdy. In addition to the four corner legs, there is a 5th leg in the center of the unit. As a previous review states, the back is solid instead of cardboard. 2. Very nice design - looks like a good piece of furniture once assembled. 3. Quality product. Everything lined up perfectly during assembly, and the two glass doors and top center drawer appear to be square to the eye and no "rubbing" of doors as they open and close. 4. The unit is packaged very well, minimizing the likelihood of damage in transit (and when you struggle to get it where you want it in your house).
   
   Some drawbacks: 1. Although my Time Warner DVR Cable Box fits on one of the shelves behind the glass door just fine, my Onkyo receiver is a very tight fit. I had to remove the other glass door to get it into the cabinet, then reinstall the door. 2. The air circulation in the cabinets behind the glass doors is poor - it gets very warm in there with your AV components running. Still, there is an opening around the glass doors that lets some cold air in as the hot air rises and escapes out of the top cable holes in the back of the stand. 3. Costs $60 more than what appears to be the identical TV stand in a light Cherry finish (Sonoma collection).
   
   Note that the center shelves and drawer are not very wide, you won't be putting any AV components or speakers in that space - it's for remotes, magazines, CDs, DVDs, etc.
   
   Overall a very good TV stand. A nice value - better than the cheaper stands out there but not as expensive as a "real" piece of expensive furniture.



4. Very sturdy for boxed furniture. Absolutely beautiful when put together. Be prepared to spend some time putting it together though!



5. I love this so much! Edges can chip/scratch easily, but that is what they made scratch cover for! Had my cousin put it together for me and it took him over 2 hours, but I say so worth his time!

5 comments about Universal Tilt Wall Mount.

1. The other reviewers have more detail, and accurately convey the simplicity of installation and use.
   
   I'd like to emphasize the durability.
   
   And, most good flat panels come with the right hardware to install. If not, just go to Home Depot and spend another $5 for the needed nuts and bolts.
   
   Yeah, I wish this was $15 cheaper, but sometimes we get what we pay for...



2. Prompt delivery at a very good price. Installation is well documented and a generous selection of machine screws and spacers is provided to support a wide variety of TV options. Easy to install. It easily handles my 52 inch set. I recommend it with confidence. Birdog



3. I purchased this wall mount for a new Pioneer PDP-6010FD 60" plasma flat screen, and can highly recommend this mount. It is engineered and built with superior construction quality, easily holding my plasma TV weighing about 150 pounds (rated up to 250lbs). Mounting the universal bracket to the back of the plasma was extremely easy, just four bolts and washers (provided) that locked down, make for an extremely rigid mounting of the TV onto the bracket.
   
   Since this mount covers televisions up to 71", it should work for most sets, as long as the maximum horizontal distance between the mounting holes is about 35" or less (check the product manual to get the exact maximum distance). The bracket's width and weight handling capacity requires that you mount it onto 3 wall studs, as it is approximately 40" wide. However, this actually helps you with mounting the bracket in a very level manner.
   
   Here is a short narrative of how you go about mounting your TV using this wall mount. First, locate the center stud that will be used as the center mounting point, and use one of the provided lag bolts to mount the bracket on the wall at the desired location, using the topmost center hole on the wall bracket. Now mount your level on top of the bracket and using the installed center bolt as a pivot, rotate one side of the bracket or the other until your level indicates that the mount is perfectly level. Now using a marker pen, mark the two points to be drilled on the left and right outer studs, perfectly centered in the desired mounting holes. Drill the appropriate holes, then screw in the lag bolts, fixing the bracket into a perfectly level position. Now mark, drill for, and mount the remaining 3 bolts (there are six total, two at each end and two in the center mounting positions.)
   
   The final step is to mount your TV onto the wall bracket and secure it. With help from a friend, securely grasp the TV and "hook" it onto the wall bracket. From underneath, reach behind with a standard or phillips head screw driver and secure the lock screw on the bottom of each bracket hook. This final step secures the TV to the wall mount.
   
   I'll tell you, I live in the heart of earthquake county in SoCal, and I fully believe that my house will suffer damage well before this TV comes off the wall in a seismic event.
   
   Overall, this wall mount is well worth every penny. Like always, Amazon comes through with a great product at a good price.



4. I ordered a Sanus 32-50" wall mount for my 50" Samsung plasma, but due to the 24" spacing between studs in my wall, and the large width between bracket holes on the back of my tv, I couldn't mount it without my TV being off center horizontally on my wall.
   I then looked for a wider mount, and found the Peerless ST670P. It was wide enough to still grab two studs, and accomodate the greater bracket width of my tv, and the end result is my plasma perfectly centered on my wall. Installation is very simple and straightforward - you really do need a stud finder and level. It comes with all the bolts you need, and where the Sanus came with M8 bolts that were too long that I would have had to cut to fit my tv, the Peerless model came with 3 different lengths of M8 bolts, so the bracket installation into my TV was perfect.
   Quality construction. I really recommend this product, and will be buying another when I get another plasma one day!



5. Easy to install, fastens to three studs (16" centers), comes with a vast quantity of hardware, great instructions, and will hold just about any TV. I bet my 52" Samsung will still be on the wall when the only thing left are roaches! Well worth the few more dollars than the smaller mounts.
   BTW: downstairs I used the Sanus VMDD26B Universal Articulating mount for my 52" Sony... in comparison, it costs 4-times as much, had less hardware, weighs 3-times as much, and the instructions are less-than-easy to follow... mostly pictograms with few words. It does allow more movement which I needed.

5 comments about SANUS SYSTEMS EF-28B 28" Euro Foundations® Bookshelf Speaker Stands in Black (EF28B).

1. They do alright, easy to setup and relatively sturdy. Carpet floor pegs are a little sucky, but what of it!?
   
   Definitely good overall for price!



2. The stands come with a small and a large "shelf" that the speakers sit on and I was able to fit my Sony SS-MB150H speakers perfectly onto the larger shelf. They seem pretty sturdy and heavy, but for those with toddlers, they are NOT toddler-proof. While you can mount the speakers to the stands if the speakers have a pre-threaded nut in the bottom of the case, mine did not and I rely heavily on gravity. The stand does allow for mounting though, so this is more a knock on my speakers than the stand (and I could drill them, but that can't be good). These stands are cheap and do everything I wanted perfectly, so I gave them 5 stars.

3. I've bought many of these, aand evertime I do, I'm just as happy as my first set. Great deal, great product.....



4. For my purchase, the spot welds that held together the center screw receiver came undone at the top of the pole and this actually injured my speaker when it all gave way. Otherwise these stands seem unstable unless your speakers are very light. I wouldn't recommend these, especially when for a few dollars more you can have something better.



5. Bought these from Amazon, and when they arrived, a few main parts were missing from the box. Emailed Amazon customer service, and within 24hrs I had another set on the way to me, shipped overnight, at no additional charge. Amazon really showed me customer service is a priority for them, and made me really happy to shop here, I feel totally safe buying from Amazon and trust when there is something wrong, I'll be taken care of. That in itself gives these stands a great review, let alone how nice the actual stands are. Great construction, easy to assemble, soild feel. Very happy with them. Great price Amazon has them for.

5 comments about SANUS SYSTEM Flat Panel TV Stand Platinum Furniture ( Black ).

1. I compared many stands before buying this one. I live close to a major earthquake fault, so who knows if anything would be strong or stable enough in the end. With that said it takes a lot of effort to move this an inch now that the 80lb TV and 35lb receiver are mounted on the 105lb stand. I have the extra shelf too, so with the center channel speaker and the DVD player and cable box I've probably got somewhere near 250lbs sitting there and it is solid as a rock. This is especially good news for the center channel speaker and the TV, both of which work better when not vibrating.
   
   There's a comment elsewhere that the finish is fragile and I'm afraid that is exactly right, they should consider a tougher coating on the base, the ding where I dropped a bolt is under the receiver now, so it doesn't make any difference, but I know it's there and even my cheap coffee table wouldn't have been damaged by that.
   
   I noticed someone had trouble with delivery, I use Amazon Prime, so the box turned up on my doorstep two days after I ordered it. A bit scuffed but no real damage.



2. SANUS SYSTEM Flat Panel TV Stand Platinum Furniture ( Black )
   
   I've had this for almost a year now and this TV Stand serves my 40" Samsung 1080p LCD 4095 TV well. I don't think there were any complications putting this together (my wife and sister actually handled it while I was at class). It looks really good with my TV which has a Shiny Bezel. I really wish it was higher and would love some suggestions to take it further off the ground, or an alternative shelf. I can't mount anything on that wall because of where the studs are placed.
   
   On this shelf, I have in addition to my TV, I have my PS3, my Motorola FIOS TV STB, a Nintendo Gamecube, an Onkyo TX-SR605 audio receiver, and the center channel to my JBL SCS200.5 5.1 Channel Surround Home Theater Speaker System: JBL SCS-200.5 Home Theater Speaker System with Subwoofer
   
   Would love to hear from others who have the same stand or any of the other products I have.



3. Do yourself a favor and buy this stand. In my opinion this is the most perfect flat panel stand you can currently buy on the market. When it arrived it was extremely easy to put together and the overall quality of the assembled product matches it's great looks. It effortlessly holds a Denon receiver, cable box, dvd and blu ray player, xbox 360, center channel speaker, and a voltage regulator and looks fantastic while doing so...



4. I bought 2 units for a dealer show. One unit for a 37" and one unit for a 47" Philips HD LCD. The design allowed the stand to work well with both TV's. Assembly was easy and many of my customers complimented the nice stand.



5. I bought this item for my 42" sony television and it was a wonderful buy.

5 comments about Sanus Systems AFA Accurate Furniture Audio Stand (Black).

1. Easy to put together and appears to be sturdy. Two shelves were nicked during shipping and a call to the manufacturer led to a no-hassle replacement that arrived in about one week.



2. This rack is really nice for the money. Once it was constructed, it seemed very solid and had plenty of room for my Playstation 3 40GB, Onkyo TX-SR605 7.1 Channel Home Theater Receiver (Black), Belkin PureAV® PF31 Home Theater Power Console AP21100fc12-BLK, and even my Samsung LNT4669 46-inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV on top. Of course with that size of tv it was just a temporary solution until it was wall mounted, but it did fit very nicely in the corner. A smaller tv would fit nicely on this if you want it up higher. I would really recommend this to anyone that needs a nice looking audio/video rack for their equipment. The posts are just painted metal and a couple of them had light scuff marks, but since they would be so easy to paint, they could just be touched up, or repainted whatever color you wanted. The shelves are very solid and seem like they would hold up some heavy equipment.



3. I had been on the look out for a stand for the AV gear in my workout room when I ran across this one. I pulled the trigger after a price drop on the item from Amazon.
   
   The stand is a snap to assemble (took about 5 minutes) and is very solid. I have a hard time believing the person who claims it fell apart with 50 lbs on it. I have 80 lbs on it now and it feels strong enough that I could put another 80 lbs on there.
   
   The stand is a good height for putting a modest sized LCD TV on top and still having more than enough room for all of your components below. The three large "bays" can take just about any sized component you can dish out... although I suppose if you had massive amplifiers, etc, that weighed a ton then you might need to invest in something a little heavier built just to be on the safe side.
   
   In any event this stand looks really good, the metal tubes have a textured satin finish, my wife is really picky about furniture and she commented on how good it looked.
   
   For the asking hard it would be extremely difficult to do better than this.



4. This stand is simply amazing. It took about 10 mins to put together. It is a very nice color and matched the lcd and components beautifully. It has enough room to hold my onkyo reciever, my cable box, my 360, ps3, wii, and hd player. So spacious and sturdy, you can not go wrong with this unit.



5. Holds two receivers, two dvd players, a cable box and two sets of speaker switchers. Easy to assemble.

1. Heavy, wire through the pole, beautiful, what else could you want? If you have Kef 3000 fornt or rear channel speakers without a home - get them of the floor!



2. Solid, unobtrusive, great mounting system for KHT satellites. Why not a five? Unable to adjust speaker height. That said, these stands provide an elegant solution for placing the satellites "just so".

5 comments about Sanus Systems TV32 TV Turntable (Black, 32 Inch).

1. This TV Turntable is exactly what I wanted. It work very well, a smooth action. I an very satified with it.



2. If you have a LCD TV, this is almost a necessity! Sanus turntables work very well, are easily put in use, and give you the option of almost unlimited viewing angles. I especially like my TV on a turntable for access to wiring and allowing easy access for cleaning and dusting. Once you have one, you'll wonder how you got along without it.



3. This really makes watching TV easy. Our large, very heavy TV can be turned with no effort for watching in different parts of the room. The price was a little high, but if you need to adjust your large TV, this is the only way to go!



4. This product was just as advertised, came promptly and is a perfect match for my 27 inch TV. I would purchase one again if I needed it.



5. I looked around and really couldn't find a better product at a better price. There was no assembly required (there is if you get the vcr tray with it, however). Actually, I had to install ONE screw. It has a small turning radius, so I didn't have to move my dresser out from the wall and I can even keep my things on the dresser. This turntable barely takes more space than my tv alone did. I have no complaints about the quality of the product. I am totally satisfied with my purchase.
