Customer Reviews
Good Value and Good LooksR. Farrow
My wife wanted a TV stand that looked like "real furniture" and I needed something strong enough and deep enough to hold my big Pioneer receiver. After much searching we settled on the Techcraft BAY4828. The product is a mix of laminated fiberboard with a few pieces of laminated wood where it's needed such as with the top TV stand part. The door hinges are solid and the glass on the doors is tempered. The one we received is a fair amount darker than the pictures but luckily it still fits nicely in with the room and our other furniture. Overall assembly was easy and took about 2 hours. I've put together quite a few of these "IKEA" like build your own things and this one went together a bit easier than most. One flaw with the instructions was with how the hinges and doors fit in. I spent quite a bit of time looking for some non-existent pieces. Luckily the screw holes for the hinges were clearly marked so I just screwed them in. Everything lined up and it works fine. Overall the instructions were fairly easy to follow.Pros:Easy to buildDeep enough for stereo componentsStrong enough to hold heavy componentsDecent looksGreat valueCons:Instructions could be betterActual color is darker than picture
Packaging ChangesBryan D Hartsock
After reading the reviews on this product I was a bit concerned on what the shipment would look like on arrival. From the first look it appears the shipper has made a few adjustments that are working. First there were hard cardboard angles supports attached to each outer edge of the box. They looked like they took some hits but did their job. Upon opening the box my concerns were dispelled as several inches of hard Styrofoam surrounded the edges of the box and additional protective material around each piece. Needles to say, there were no bumps or scratches.I would agree with the others that the coloring is much darker, but my wife and I think it makes the furniture look even better. We are very happy with the look now that it is setup.
Damaged in shipping!Bevi Dobb
I ordered this 60" Wide Flat Panel Hiboy from Amazon when it was sold and shipped directly from Amazon. I chose this item based on the reviews here and the photos of it. We've searched for a long time to find the right unit for us.The unit arrived in 3 days. Remarkable service by Amazon. However, the unit is not well packaged. The top piece has a smashed corner, and the box is damaged in the same place. There is no cushioning, protective packaging for the corners of this furniture piece, so nothing protects it if dropped in shipping.So we've had it for one day now. Unfortunately the piece that is damaged is the largest and most difficult part to get to in the packaging. We hoped that the manufacturer, Techcraft, would agree to replace just the piece that is damaged. They have a form on their website to request just such a remedy. I'm waiting to hear from them if they will just send us a new top piece.However, Amazon is in the way of all these reparations. According to Amazon customer service, from a supervisor in Panama, the only recourse we have is to have a whole new unit shipped to us; and we have to repackage and send back the ENTIRE unit as a return. This is unnecessary hassle and inconvenience to us as customers, and very lazy customer service by Amazon. Amazon could work with us and Techcraft to have that single piece replaced for us (it's even numbered as a separate replaceable part), so that we would only have to send that part back as a return. Amazon is refusing to do this, insisting we must jump through all these inconvenient hoops to get a new unit that may possibly be damaged in shipping, too.Techcraft will very likely be most willing to replace just the part that was damaged.Read more ›
Warped after a yearElyssa M. Korman
Buyer Beware! I have owned this for about 3 years. I did buy it from a different retailer,but I am certain it is the same one. It is a gorgeous piece and we loved it when we first got it. We have our 50" Samsung LCD on it. The problem with this piece is that it doesn't have any support beneath it in the middle, so it started to warp after about a year. After 3 years, the entire piece is horribly warped and nearly touches the ground in the middle. This has caused the doors to look like they are falling off and the whole thing looks like a disaster. I am currently shopping for a new TV stand to replace it. This seems to have gotten a lot of good reviews, but usually people review items before owning them for a long time. I know now that my next TV stand needs to have an extra support piece in the middle. Perhaps they are now making this one like that, but I would not purchase it again without confirming that.
Looks GreatT. Davis
I bought this after a broken TV forced me to upgrade to a flat screen. Our existing entertainment center would not work but this was perfect. There are 6 shelves for your entertainment components (Cable box, Aux, Video Game Consoles). Many of the TV stands I looked at were made of particle board or covered in plastic veneer. This does have some MDF board (Shelves, sides bottom of the inside of the cabinet. However, the parts that are visible are solid hardwood. The top is all one piece hardwood with beautiful grain. The legs are solid wood and the glass doors are pained in wood. I am very impressed with the size and height. Many of the TV stands I have seen are very short. This one measures in at about 30 inches tall.The only issue I have with it is the color. It looks darker in person than in the picture. The color is described as "Walnut" but it is much more like a deep cherry stain in person. It is sturdy and looks like you paid more for it.
