1. Well what can I say...we bought this stand since it was silver/black and would go with our new TV and A/V Receiver. It seems to be solidly constructed, the only problem we had with putting it together was one of the holes that the "feet" are supposed to screw into wasn't drilled properly so we couldn't get the bolt in. After we worked on it for about 30 minutes, we ended up buying a metric bolt that was slightly smaller (a 7mm I think) that worked well enough to hold the foot on. The glass shelves are about 3/8" thick and seem solid. They are a very dark smoke color (almost black). I haven't wired everything up through the cable management rails in the back, but they seem functional (though it can be a little hard to get the end of the cable out of the hole, depending on the connector).



2. Received it from amazon last week and finally got a chance to put it together early today. I couldn't get a screw with a black rubber thing on on one of the back panels (have tried both holes), either. And besides, it's 4 flat/lock washers short so I called Bush Furniture and they will send out the parts to me (4-5 days). Will see if they send the right parts and whether it will work this time.
   
   Over all, it's not a bad stand considering the price. Amazon has a much better price than BestBuy.

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. This product was totally disappointing. The directions were difficult to follow, there were only poorly draw diagrams to describe the construction. The product is very flimsy and unstable. I will not use it for the purpose of placing my Paradigm speakers, nor would I purchase this product again or any other product of this type. I have been completely unsatisfied with this product. Finally, during assembly of this product I somehow managed to chip the frosted glass shelves because the rods for the stand came in a somewhat bent manner from the package
   
   Thank You.



2. I don't have all that much experience putting things together, so I was a little worried because of one reviewer's comments about the instructions being hard to understand. On the whole, I found that they were fairly simple to put together, and the diagrams were very helpful.
   
   There's unfortunately no way to thread cables through any part of these stands, so if you're looking to keep your cabling invisible, these might not be the stands for you. I'm using them for my rear speakers, and they're pretty small (small enough that I would be able to fit one on the top shelf and another on the bottom), so I don't have any problems with instability, though I think it might be an issue for people with larger, heavier speakers on carpet.



3. I bought the Logitech Z-5500 speakers, but I didn't want to screw them into the wall. The problem with these speakers is that they don't fit (screw) into the 'standard' speaker stands.
   The solution: The Gallery Noir Wood/Glass Speaker Stand. I have them set up on either side of my couch. The design is simple, but elegant. The top shelves are sturdy and have more than enough strength to hold any small speaker set out there. The middle selves are supposed to be used for storing DVD's, CD's or Games. It works fine, so long as they are ALWAYS filled with cases. If 1 case is pulled out, the rest sort of fall onto each other, so I would recommend getting a 'real' media storage center. What I used the shelves for was items I wanted on display. A mini bust, a trinket or just put a coaster down and use it as handy, accessible and not in your way place to hold your drink. Great for those without a coffee table, like me.
   The assembly was easy and took about 3 minutes. The packaging seems small but protects your item well.
   I just bought another set of speakers for the bedroom and will be buying another pair of these speaker stands to hold them. Definitely recommended for those who want a nice, simple and sturdy item. Something that wont be easily knocked down by mischievous cats.



4. I bought these stands for my logitech z-5500, just like another reviewer did. They look nice and the black and metal colors blend in well with the rest of my setup. The shelving on them works well for CD and DVD cases with an inch or two to spare above them. There are 3 shelves that each can fit 8 DVD cases. You have to keep the shelves relatively full though, because there are not slots for them, the cases just stand supported by one another.
   These wouldn't work too well with bigger speakers, but they are perfect for smaller ones. They come with little adhesive strips so you can stick your speakers to them if you want, but I still wouldn't trust it with bigger speakers.
   
   The instructions for assembling the stands are very bad, but it isn't too hard to figure it out if you look at the picture on the box. The instructions don't have any words, just pictures. They indicate you should flip the whole thing over at one point. This is so the glass doesn't slide around, but if you flipped it over it would be impossible to screw the bottom on. You just have to think about what will happen and be careful with the glass when putting them together. Also, there is no indicator as to where you are supposed to place the middle shelf. It would be nice if there was a little marking or something, the instructions don't help at all with it. It is easy to adjust once you have it built though, and I measured it out so that it was centered between the top and bottom shelves.
   
   Putting them together was a bit annoying, but I'm very satisfied with the end result.



5. The speaker stands look sleek and modern and are very practical for holding CDs/DVDs. They really are not well designed though for VHS tapes so I would avoid them if you wanting to use them to store any kind of tape.
