Walker Edison Wren Classic 4 Cubby Fireplace TV Stand for TVs up to 80 Inches, 70 Inch, Black

So first, I saw the horror stories of broken parts, and other problems people had when they purchased this. I feel for them I really do, but I was fortunate enough that my item was in perfect condition, and all parts, ( plus some extras in a extras bag) were all there.One thing everyone's been right on, this is not that easy to assemble, and one or two of the screw holes were a bit wonky. If it weren't for two of us doing it, I'm not sure it would have taken a reasonable time to put it together. Also.. go buy Gorilla Glue ( wood or all purpose ), and make sure to glue all the dowels ( on both sides ).As to the actual functionality, this works great. It sits in front of our wood fireplace ( which we can't use due to chimney problems ). The fireplace insert looks good, and the heater works well, but isn't overly loud. It holds our 75" class Samsung Q75 QLED HDR 4K TV without any wood groaning or cracking and this is a HEAVY TV. As a side note, and not really pictured, there are two somewhat big square support legs that under the middle of it, to provide additional weight bearing "legs/feet" which just added to the stability. One caution.. This thing isn't light, get help if you have to move it.Pro TIP: to add to the illusion, we have a Amazon Fire Cube, and a Smart Plug. I hooked this up to the smart plug, and setup a command in Alexa to turn it on and off, and at the same time turn on and off the Sleep Sounds Fireplace loop. It's not perfect, but it does add to the illusion, and it allows me to turn the thing off from the Echo Dot 4 in our bedroom if we happen to forget before going to bed.As a unintended side-benefit, we have a greyish blue furniture theme to our living room, ( couch, end and coffee tables, rug ).. and this blends in perfectly with the rest of the living room.All in all, would buy again, but not certain I will ever need to.

I try hard to always give a fair review, and if you look I am not shy for giving harsh reviews when the product deserves it. But if they deserve it? If they deserve it I try to give a great review. This product deserves a good review.First thing I like about it is a thing that I dislike about most inexpensive prefab products. I hate that they always have cheap tackle that some times breaks or some times there are even bits missing. For this product, there was a spare of every nut, bolt and screw. I didn't need any of them, but if I had there would have been a spare. I have had a lot of furniture of this type have a screw break or not be included. Not so here. Bravo. The only thing I wanted more of was the glue, the tiny tube was not enough. Glue is sort of hard to judge, so i found myself running out. Fortunately I was able to substitute another product to finish off construction. I think the glue tube should have been bigger. This is my only real complaint.Another thing I hate about products like this is the awful instructions which can sometimes just be general guidelines. This product has excellent instructions. I completed the construction alone in about 2 hours. It would have been easier if there were extra hands just because its a long item and such items are generally somewhat unwieldy. Still, it was easily done and I took it slow. You can do the construction by hand and the only tool you really need is a phillips screwdriver. I dont like those cheesy hex wrenches they some times send with stuff like this, so I used my own instead, but you wouldn't have to do that. I would advise against using power tools. This is still particle board and if you used power tools you would strip out the holes.Its sturdy enough and has plenty of bays for all my components. its also small and doesn't take up a ton of space.I like this product. 5 stars.but like i said, next time more glue, tho to be truthful you probably don't even need the glue.

When this massive box arrived at my door, I was very worried about assembly after reading reviews. Once I actually got the heavy thing in the house by myself, everything else was super simple! I put this thing together all by myself. Here is the summary of set up...·All parts were here and nothing was damaged.·The packaging material was MESSY! I had to use the vacuum attachment on the pieces several times to get all the tiny foam off. But it kept the wood from getting any damage during shipping so I'm not complaining.·I didn't need any additional tools except scissors and a screwdriver set! (No drill required!)·It took me 4 hours from start to finish (including unpacking and clean up).·I could not get the tiny screws into the fireplace insert. I actually don't think it's possible (haha). I skipped that step (after at least 20 minutes of failed attempts and 26,000 F bombs) and just relied on the rest of the materials given to secure the insert to the unit. It's solid and I fully trust the installation without the worthless impossible screws.·My hands will be sore from days because of the 6 screws you have to use the little wrench for. Those screws were painful to get into the wood and resulted in at least 20,000 more F bombs.I haven't really used the console yet as it's been set up in my living room approximately 20 minutes now. But I'm very happy so far! The wood is quality material and it's a beautiful color. They even included stickers to cover up the bolts. I've wanted a fireplace forever and you can't beat this very reasonably priced fake one. Haha. So far it seems warm and the ambiance adds to the coziness that is my home.Update: About 3 weeks later, I cannot believe how much this tiny little space heater heats up my house!! I have a very open floor plan so the living room, kitchen and hall are one big area (about 800 square feet). In about an hour, my thermostat read 3 degrees hotter. I'm not yet sure how this will affect my electricity bill, but right now, I LOVE this console.
