I really like the way this looked in the pictures, and even in application. It fits the space nicely and despite what others have reported it actually is pretty sturdy.
Three things to note:
1) The instructions for installing the LEDs are non-existent. They are there, but all they say is to check the LEDs to make sure they are working before installing them. It doesnt actually tell you how they should be installed and the way the cabinet is designed does not make it obvious as to how they should be installed to hide wiring. Youll need to be creative.
2) This mounts pretty much flush to the wall, meaning there is no way youre getting cords behind it. I actually had to create another hole in the top of the cabinet and then saw out a void in the bottom lip against the wall so that I could get the cords down without seeing the wires from the front. This was the most annoying thing to deal with and thank god I have an abundance of tools on hand.
3) The piece is heavy. The anchors and screws they send to hang this on the wall are not sufficient. I went to Lowes and got toggle bolts to secure it to the wall. You can sit 500 lbs. on top of this now and its not going anywhere unless it takes the entire wall with it.
I would suggest finding something a bit more easy and better designed unless youre handy.
In all I spent a good 4 hours on this from start to finish. Looks good now that its completed. Ill post final pics later.
Not the best designed furniture
