I really love this entertainment center a lot. The quality is above par, professionally constructed with a nice finish. The packaging was incredible, every item arrived in a well-protected box, I usually don't see products packaged so well.Before I decided to piece the cabinet together I had all the glass professionally tinted (blacked-out) since I wanted a very clean and finished look and I just didn’t want to see any items stored within the unit once it was finally assembled. Since the windows were totally blacked out I purchased a small inexpensive and indiscrete IR receiver that is mounted outside the cabinet to control the remote control to my large screen TV (BAFX IR). It works very well without any issues at all.The actual assembly took a little time since I put the unit together by myself (3+ Hours). The directions were easy to follow as well. One bit of advice, make sure you have the right size Phillips head screwdriver with a good grip because the screws, especially on the back panel totaled 24 count and it can be challenging by the time you get to the end assembly. I would also suggest separating out all the hardware at the beginning and identifying each with the letter assigned to them in the directions, makes the assembly a lot easier as your going along. If your also assembling on a hardwood floor, padding is essential to keep the finish of the cabinet safe from scratches and ergonomically comfortable if your 60-years old like I am! One slight negative observation I have is centered on the shelving panels that go inside the cabinets, which were not exactly wide enough to make a tight fit, and easily collapsed down if touched the wrong way. I addressed this by applying black adhesive Velcro (the soft female side) to the edges of the shelves, which did the trick and which were not noticeable once the panels were installed. The firebox is easily installed as well, requiring only 4 screws! I’m very impressed with the look of the faux fireplace with its realistic flame and lighting, ease of use and the variety of settings to control the look and feel of the unit. The heating element works like a charm and is a great addition as well. So there you have it in a nutshell. I would recommend this entertainment unit if your in the market for a small-sized cabinet to accentuate your home. One final note of advice, this cabinet can be deceiving when your looking at the photos online so be sure you have the appropriate setting due to the actual size of the unit.
