SIMPLIHOME Draper SOLID HARDWOOD 60 inch Wide Mid Century Modern TV Media Stand in Black For TVs up to 65 inches for the Living Room and Entertainment Center

This cabinet was easy to put together and is a very good quality we were quite satisfied with the quality of the wood and the hardware. It suits our purposes perfectly and puts the TV at the right height in our family room we like the large storage areas on each side plus the two shells in the middle. The feet are also very high quality. I highly recommend this product

I recently purchased this TV stand for my living room - I love the teak color and the mid century style is perfect for my 1940s-era home. The stand is sturdy solid wood, and really heavy.I'm a woman in my mid-40s, and I was able to assemble this alone in about 4.5 hours (though actual assembly time was probably closer to 3.5 - I took several long breaks to rest, strategize, and swear during the process).The instructions are clear and the parts are well organized BUT if you're assembling this alone you'll need to get a little creative. Power tools help a lot.I found that resting the stand on its front during the initial assembly to attach the side and interior panels was the easiest way - any other way required too much effort to balance the base. Once I attached the legs, I stood it up to attach the top. This part went surprisingly fast.The left door went on perfectly - the pre-drilled holes were perfectly aligned BUT were not well drilled, so I inserted the screws first, reversed them back out, and then installed the door.Same issue with pre-drilled holes on the right door BUT the holes weren't aligned correctly and even following the instruction of inserting the middle screws first to adjust the alignment didn't work. I ended up having to stand the unit on its end and rest the door on the ground, and use a ruler to align the holes for the door on the right. It still doesn't hang perfectly but it's much better, and fatigue beat out my OCD after about 1.5 hours of trying to get it perfect.I also accidentally reversed the interior panels for the shelves, so the predrilled holes for the magnets were on the wrong side. I was able to remove those without having to disassemble the unit and reverse them once I realized my mistake. Definitely pay attention to the instructions here - I didn't and paid for it.I didn't install the backboard at all. I like it better open, but was planning to install it anyway. The fact that there was only ONE predrilled hole in the back to secure the backpanel was the deciding factor in leaving it off. I just didn't have the energy to try to force in the other 14 or so screws required to hold the back panel in place at 1:30 am.Having a friend help would definitely have made the job go easier and faster, but it CAN be done alone. Just be prepared for some challenging moments and colorful language. And watch your toes as you're moving it around.In the end, it came together beautifully and looks fantastic in my living space.

So we were unlucky at first attempt as the box arrived in a timely manner with no noticeable marks on it whatsoever. When we began to unpack it, we found that one of the main pieces (top or bottom) was missing a corner. It looked like it had been whacked with a sledge hammer, yet the box was unscathed. We painstakingly repackaged the piece and reported to Amazon. Two things of note here. Amazon was super easy to return the unit and get another one; and, take careful notes on how it is packaged in the event you get a damaged one and have to put it back in the box. This was not easy. Once we got the replacement 3 days later (amazing Amazon) we again proceeded (much more carefully) to remove it from the box noting each piece of styrofoam and where it went. Unit number two was undamaged. Now, I am a handy guy, maybe even more so than that. It took me a good 2 hours to assemble. It should not have, but I used a screwdriver and not a screw gun initially. There are several 10s of little screws need screwing into the wood, which is solid hardwood (not laminated MDF), which when using a screwdriver takes the patience of Job. When I got to the end and was trying to screw the magnetic door catches to the doors, I went and got my screw gun (drill with a phillips bit). Set the torque to minimum, and zip zip zip finished the last 8 screws in seconds. Man, should have done that with the back cover board where it was 5-7 minutes a screw!!! Lesson here is the screw gun is your friend as long as you are very careful and you set the torque to low so you dont strip the heads of the zillion little itty bitty screws. If you use the screw gun, you can cut assembly time to less than an hour. When it was all said and done, the piece is beautiful, heavy, and looks like it costs a lot more than what I paid on Amazon. I did find the exact same piece on Wayfair for $250 more, it had a different brand name but was the exact same thing. I love this piece and let me tell you, I would buy the other matching bigger one for the room should I need more storage at any point. This is in our loft where I mostly exercise and I like the low slung sleek lines of it that remind me of Danish furniture. The picture shows a 65 inch wall mounted sony tv above it and a 6'0" surfboard (to give you a feel for scale).

I don't normally leave reviews but this purchase made me want to. The Draper Low Console was a pleasure to work with because it's really wood. I know I'm not going to get a quality hardwood piece at this price but I'm happy with what I got. I'm so tired of trying to find something affordable that isn't particle board or MDF with a micro-thin faux wood plastic laminate that scratches off it you look at it too long. I'm really happy with the vintage look of this piece too. It's perfect for my record player stand with plenty of room for albums, standing on edge, in the side compartments. I used a power drill to assemble it but when attaching the top, the screw heads are hard to get at so use the included socket head wrench with a ball end - the ball end helps a lot. A couple of the screws wouldn't tighten down because the pilot hole was a little large or the wood a little soft. I just replaced them with the next larger screw from the hardware store. I tightened all of the preinstalled screws too and found a couple of those "stripped" as well and stepped up the size for those. Not a problem. When installing the doors pay close attention to get the hinges high enough so that the bottom of the door doesn't scrape when it's closed - you'll only get one shot. I found the factory marks to be spot-on but it helps a lot to use an awl to make a little pilot holes for the screws. Also, do yourself a favor and have someone hold the door for you. I did it by myself but it was frustrating (the pilot hole with an awl helped a bunch). Anyway, I like this piece a lot and will go back to Draper products in the future. If this is the look you are going for, look no further.

Package arrived no damage to box. Large and heavy for one person had my 13 year old daughter carry it in with me. Nicely packaged with styrofoam and wrapping. Unpackaged no scratches or dings in the wood all pieces and hardware inside with the instructions. Instructions are very straightforward my daughter compared to a Lego set. Assembled on a 8x10 rug, I did use a screw driver with a hex head in lieu of the supplied Allen wrench there are lots of fasteners. You will also need a Phillips bit or driver. Total assembly time with unboxing and disposal 30-45 min. Also of note when installing the supplied pins the shelves sit on we used a hammer to lightly tap them in.End result is a gorgeous mid century tv stand my mother would turn in the grave to see us decorating the house in the style, she could not get rid of this type of furniture fast enough in the 70’s.Top and bottom appear to be solid wood, heavy duty along with the legs. The partitions and doors are a veneer. Very nice finish for a home assembled kit. Much of our furniture We have had custom built for the solid wood. Ordering this took me back to my college days buying kit furniture so was very skeptical will say very pleased with end result.
