SLEEK AND UNIQUE DESIGN.

I bought this on Amazon about two months ago. My TV is set up on top of the fireplace, so I wasn't looking for something that would take my TV. I needed something not too big and not too small to take all of my components, and also to hide the wires coming out of the bottom of the wall. I bought something from IKEA, but after assembly, I did not like the look or the fit of it in my living room. Mainly, it did not do a great job of hiding any of the wires. I went back to the drawing boards and finally found this at my local Best Buy. The price tag was steep ($500), but my wife loved the design. It had sliding doors so our 3 ½ year old would not easily get into it, and also, everything would be hidden behind doors. It also had this hidden compartment above the sliding doors, where you can put DVDs, speakers, or anything else that would fit. So I came back home, and saw it on Amazon for $350 (plus $70 for shipping) so I was sold. It came in pretty quick, 2-3 days after I ordered it.

Now I'll say few words about the assembly. I have assembled many other office furniture pieces in the past which required a few tools, so this assembly wasn't too bad. That being said, I have to disagree with Bell'O about the "No tools Assembly" thing. While you definitely can assemble this with no tools, I think using tools makes it go a lot faster, and more accurate and sturdy. I have no complaints about the quality of the wood. It was better than the IKEA piece I bought before. After it was all assembled, it does look very nice. I like the fact that it has ventilation slots built in, and also built in holes for the wires to go through. I have my cable box, DVD players, Denon receiver, and my Wii console all in it, with room to spare.

Overall, I like the design and construction of this unit. It does exactly what I needed it to do. At $500 I thought it was too much, but thank God for Amazon for making this affordable.

Very nice and better than expected

I waited a while for Amazon to offer this product. I got a good price with free shipping. The shipping from other sources can run from $50 to $150. I have ordered "assembly required" furniture online several times. I've had mixed results with my biggest concern being shipping issues. These products are sent "ground" most often and this can be a rough ride. This time I got a FedEx delivery (not a sub-contract ground delivery). The package arrived in good condition. I unpacked in the garage so I could vac and inspect each component. Then moved to final location for assembly as the finished product weighs about 125lbs. Every component was in good condition and indicated care in manufacture. I assembled in about 40 minutes without any tools. All parts were well made and aligned properly with other components. Each component was numbered and I assembled using the pictures only in the clear instructions. The final media stand looked great and compares with in-store finished products costing twice what I paid. I did look locally and was disappointed in products in my $300 - $500 price range. This unit was the best by far of other furniture I have assembled. The "no tools required" is accurate. I am completely satisfied and am impressed each time I look at the stand. Oh, the finish is much darker that all pictures I have seen. It's well done, but a dark mocha color. Looks rich though.

Best "Assembly Required' Furniture I've seen

I have put together more than my share of "some assembly required" furniture in my time. Once I reached a point where I can afford real in-one-piece wood furniture I have generally avoided the 'you assemble' stuff like the plague. And I cannot stand the paper veneered crap by Sauder, Bush, etc. In searching for a TV stand, I had a lot of trouble finding any all wood units that fit the space and decor I required, and decided, based on reviews, to take a shot at this Bell'O WAVS333 cabinet.

I have to say, that after spending less than an hour putting it together, I am very impressed. Not only by the look of the piece, but also the very clever assembly method it employs. Contrary to another reviewer, I found it entirely possible to put this together without tools. In fact, I'm not sure what tool you could actually employ. [I confess I did pull out a screwdriver to use as a leverage bar to put a final tighten on the four wooden feet] I would say that it actually comes "partially assembled" if only that the back and two sides are already connected by hinges. The major components (bottom, top & back+sides piece) are connected by spring latches in seconds. As far as the quality is concerned, I am also pleased. This furniture is made of wood veneer, as is probably 80% of decent furniture you buy anymore. This means there are thin slices of real wood laminated to a core that is something else. In this case it appears to be a heavy composite board. But it looks nice and looks like it will stand up much better than the simulated-wood paper veneer product made by Sauder, etc. There are ample slots in the back for wire routing. Overall, I think this is well worth the money, very easy to put together and looks like a quality piece of furniture. I would buy a Bell'O product again.
