5 comments about Salamander Synergy 237 A/V Cabinet w/ Three Doors (Walnut/Silver).
- FOR THE PRICE I WAS EXPECTING FINE FURNITURE.THIS IS IKEA/LUMBERYARD QUALITY WORTH ABOUT $400.00 -$500.00 TOPS. I ORDERED BLACK WHICH IS SIMPLY PAINTED PARTICLE BOARD.BOLTS SHOW ON THE CABINET TOP.MAYBE THE OTHER FINISHES LOOK BETTER. A REAL BEAR TO ASSEMBLE AND CONFUSING INSTRUCTIONS TO BOOT.
- The Synergy 237 (Black) was delivered in a timely manor and I must say that it exceeded my expectations. the heavy duty build quality and accurate tolerances sets it apart from the more typical A/V solutions. All necessary tools are included for assembly, which should take about two hours. Take the time to carefully follow the enclosed insructions in order to avoid redoing steps.
Be aware that this is a HEAVY box, so be prepared to have the means for getting it into the room of choice. I had the delivery man leave the box in the garage, then carefully carried the unit upstairs piece by piece. I also recommend going to Walmart or a hardware store for six "Super Sliders." I got the larger 4" sliders, which I placed under the unit's feet; this makes life a great deal easier whenever you need to get to the rear of the unit, especially on a carpeted surface.
The unit is now housing a 60" Sony SXRD TV, 110 lb. McIntosh amplifier, McIntosh Preamplifier, Toshiba XA2 HDDVD player, Rotel Power Conditioner,
Rotel CD player, Cablevision DVR unit, Squeezebox, DAC1 unit and a pinnacle wireless A/V router. When the doors are closed, all one sees is the TV. It is a handome unit that really does its job quite well. My wife, Susan, loves the cabinet, and we both give it our highest recommendation.
- I bought the Synergy 237 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 to allow more air to my A/V Receiver. I also bought Salamander Saturn Wheels to replace the supplied foot level stands. The Synergy 237 require 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 237 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 237 with no regrets. If you're thinking about buying and installing the Synergy 237 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.
- This cabinet was easy to assemble provided you read directions and proceeded acordingly. Fit and finish are excellent. Very pleaseed with the way this produt was designed to let audio components breath.
- I have to come some where in between the good and bad reviews here. This is definitely not "cheap ikea wood" but it's also not quite the overall quality I expected for well over a thousand dollars. The front doors are real, solid, well crafted wood, the top and bottom (which are identical pieces of wood) are very dense, very strong composite wood with a really nice finish. Most of the hardware is good, heavy duty stuff (for instance the door hinges), but not everything. The end panels are something much cheaper and thinner, possibly a wood/polymer composition... just not what I expected for the price. It rattles when you tap on it. Also the bolts DEFINITELY show on top. I read a review that said this before I bought, but I didn't realize we were basically talking about two stacked pennies on top in 8 places. The bolts are smooth and tapered, but still...you see them even from across the room. Not a huge deal, just not what I expected for well over a grand.
I'm very happy with the way my components are stored and how well they breathe. The adjustable shelves give you the ability to give your receiver all the room in the world. I even put my center channel in there and the sound is not effected whatsoever. IR remotes work perfectly with the doors closed. I have a very minimal number of wires coming out the back; just the wires to my TV, speakers, sub, and power cord to surge protector. This unit does NOT have a real "cord management system" as I believe the description hints at. What it does have is plenty of room to tuck away wires that you bundle and strong black plastic removable backing to cover it all up.
Overall, I would say this is a high quality unit with a brilliantly simple, well thought out design...just not QUITE worth the price tag. If I had to guess, I'd say they put a lot of money into R&D and not quite as much into the final product. If the price was down around $950 I would have given it 5 stars.

1 comments about Dark Wood LCD TV Stand.
- This stand is beautiful, perhaps the most elegant I found online or offline. It has a nice contour, great color combination of dark wood and tempered glass. The open design not only cools your components better but also lets light shine through so the unit and your wall in the back look much brighter and better than the older, more closed design.
The wood is not as lustrous as I expected but it was alright. The wood is also a bit thinner than I thought as the cross-sections are not nearly square as I thought and cannot tell by looking at the picture. However, it seems sturdy enough.
For regular audio/video components, it is definitely good enough. However if you have high-end amplifiers, which tends to be very heavy (like over 40 lbs apeace), it may still be okay but concerns me a bit.
The delivery was on time in about 4 to 5 weeks as it was made and shipped overseas. The item is very well packed for the long shipping trip.
Overall I am quite happy with this item although, if I had the option, I would have given it 4.5 instead of 5 stars.
Good luck finding your ideal TV stand.

2 comments about Solid Wood Veneer in Walnut Finish.
- I purchased this cabinet and was completely satisfied. It is a beautiful piece of furniture and looks great with all types of decor. It holds all my media (CD's, DVD and VHS) and the top holds the photos of my grandchildren (which makes a nice addition to the piece). I would recommend this cabinet to anyone.
- This turned out to be a beautiful piece of furniture - HOWEVER - the directions for assembling it were HORRIBLE. Just pictures to look at - could have been a lot easier if the directions were better!

1 comments about Utility/TV Stand.
- There is only one thing I found wrong with this table.
The size it states on the web page is incorrect. I was searching and searching for a table that would fit into a nitch next to my fireplace to put my dvd player and cable box on. I thought I found it with this. After I assembled it, which was totally easy and fast, I found it to be at least 2-1/2 inches wider then stated and it doesnt fit in my nitch unless I turn it sidways.
If you want a great little product that is about 22 inches wide and inexpensive this is it. :-)

1 comments about STUDIOTECH PS-4BK Performance Series Component Rack in Black (STUDIOTECH PS4BK).
- If you don't need high design or craft, the PS-4BK may suit you. With an understated appearance it gives good utility and feels solid when loaded with equipment.
Close inspection shows slight misalignment of some shelf edges, or crushed paint at the edges of the metal frame parts. But at a distance the assembled rack looks fine, its surfaces ranging from semi-matte to slightly glossy.
Installation is easy enough, though references to part numbers in the instructions do not match the labels on the bags of parts.
Note that as of this writing, the photo shown for this product description is not quite accurate. It shows a narrow cable guide panel in the center. The rack I received has instead a "cable management" panel that spans the entire rear area of the rack and uses small sub-panels affixed with velcro. See the StudioTech model HF-4BII for an example of this design.
I found the rear panel to be useless, and I uninstalled it after assembling the rack. Without the cable guide panel, my equipment is better ventilated, the rack has a cleaner appearance, and there are fewer parts that might rattle when music is playing.
At the 17.5% off list price I paid for it here, with free shipping, I think the PS-4BK is a pretty good value.
