I bought 2 of the WE Furniture 70 Wood Media TV Stand Storage Console, Driftwood. Moving to a new home with no built/ins.
We really like the look of the Driftwood. The instructions were very easy to follow, 13 pages of good illustrations and assemble instructions.
They say that power tools should not be used. If you dont use a battery powered drill with torque settings it will take you hours to assemble this by hand with just a screwdriver. If you know what your doing with your drill and torque settings you will save a lot of time. You will need an allen wrench bit as well for 8 long screws.
It came with 26 wooden dowels and you were instructed to use glue on each end. Thats 52 times. The glue came in a very small tube with maybe a half a once, ran our quickly.
Even though the dimensions said 16 x 70 x 24 inches when all together the shelfs were only 13 deep. When I put my new amp on the middle shelf it hung out 2. Not what I expected.
My wife was helping removing the small round stickers to cover the cam lock holes. She gentle stuck them on the edge of the top while I was drilling in the back plastic wedges. When I went to remove them a few of them pulled the laminate off and left a few white spots. So much for the product description of durable laminate.
Both boxes came with at least one piece that was damaged. The laminate was rolling up and you could see the MDF under it. Fortunately, it was very small, and you could not see it from a distance. We just decided to live with it and not go through the process of getting a replacement piece. Remember there was 52 points of glued dowels. That would have been interesting replacing them.
Overall, we like the look and it fits our needs. For 200 bucks it was worth it.
