Ameriwood Home Southlander TV Stand, Dove Gray

I had no issues putting this together quickly. I only messed up like twice because I’m silly silly. I overcame the undoing and redoing and successfully completed the project perfectly. I decided not to put the bottom “stand / support” on because it made it wiggle only forwards not backwards and it was just a little wabble not a thing major. I am putting this stand in the play room see so I can’t take any chances and we just got the walls painted to I won’t screw anything in the wall. It’s a well made piece of furniture (USA) and I could not buy China made stuff if I can help it after a made in China chair I bought went to the crapper in less than a month. I love the Chinese <3 ANYWAY, the pictures of the people who has issues and their boo hooing and all, their chumps. There was absolutely nothing wrong with the holes at all. In fact I want to highlight how accurate the pre drilled holes are placed. Everything went in place, the holes were the perfect size for the screws and none of them stripped. I appreciate all the double and triple checking of their items that will be in our homes with our loved ones. GOOD JOB

I recommend this stand based on it's affordable price, solid build, and fairly straightforward assembly. I put this together by myself in about an hour (while also watching TV, so could have been quicker if I wasn't partially distracted). The directions were easy to follow. It looks as expected and is sturdy. I do wish it was a little taller, but otherwise it's just what I needed and less costly than similar stands I found in stores. I like that the shelves in the side storage areas are height adjustable. Fits my 65" TCL 4K HDTV.

It's a pretty decent looking TV stand that accommodates my 65-inch TV (pictured) fine. Based on the picture, 65 is probably about as big as I'd dare go; if you've got a 75 incher, get something else. Here's the rundown: Look - It's a pretty simple, modern looking stand, nothing fancy. Sturdiness - No complains so far, it's not buckling or wobbly. Assembly - You will need a #2 Phillips screwdriver and a hammer (only for applying the thin back plate (95% of the assembly process will be with the screwdriver) Instructions - Easy to follow diagrams, with very few words. Time to assemble - It took me(alone) around an hour. Storage - Not a ton, but enough, looks like I'll be fine with a few game consoles and a receiver. So far, I'm satisfied with this stand.

Product isn’t clear enough about the assembly. But if your half way intelligent you should be able to figure it out or ask for some help. For compressed wood it’s super sturdy and heavy. It’s great quality. I would buy this product again given the opportunity. The entertainment center is really sleek and looks so cool. I feel like I got a awesome bargain.

I'd like to start by saying my expectations were low. This still managed to disappoint me. If I hadn't spent the absolute least amount of money I could for a piece of furniture going into a rowdy 3 year old's room, I'd be angry. When I got home to find the box on my porch, I knew I was in for a ride. The box looked like it had been dragged all the way to Missouri from Cambodia. Considering the US distributor is in my metro area, I am going to assume it looked like this when it left their warehouse. There wasn't a single piece of this that wasn't beat up in some way when I took it out of the box. The packaging materials were smashed to oblivion. The MDF it's made out of is butter soft and fractured when driving in any kind of screw. The screws that hold on the thin strip of un-wood in the front were too short, and I had to scrounge for replacements. The screw holes for the door hinges were in the wrong place, but I was able to drill new holes with ease using my fingernail. I am pretty sure all the horizontal support is provided by the cardboard tack-on back. I will say the instructions were quite good. Now that it's put together, if I stand on the other side of the room, with my glasses off, it looks ok.

There is no question that this is a sturdy TV stand and it even looks very nice when complete. But putting it together was a pain in the neck, and then there was the screw that didn't have a head...literally round on top, I had to use channel locks to turn it down into the hole. And the bottom brace was drilled incorrectly so that the unfinished wood is facing forward. Thankfully you can't see it unless you are looking for it, but still. Frustrating when you pay $100 for something and it comes with defective parts.

Simple to put together. Used for 6 years and still love it.

I would buy this TV stand 100x over. If you've never purchased furniture from ikea and had to put it together you might struggle with this one but for me and my husband it was fairly simple. A lot of the reviews stated that the cabinet doors did not close correctly, I found that we had this problem as well when we first put the doors on, but after taking a second look there are adjusters on each side of the hinges and after playing around with the adjuster for a minute or two they are perfectly symmetrical and work great! The best price around, but you have to put in a little work to get it right!
