SICOTAS TV Stand for Living Room : Rattan TV Console Cabinet with Storage and Shelf, Boho Entertainment Center, 59" Media Console for 55, 65 Inch TV, 26" Tall Television Stands, OakThe Forest Stewardship Council

I usually put together bookshelves which have nailed cardboard backs and parts that do not always line up. This TV console is beautifully designed, and in the few instances where I thought the parts didn't fit, it was my error. My rule of thumbnow with furniture assembly now is: it something seems off, mismatched or "impossible", take a breakand then carefully go over the assembly diagram again with the assumption that you may have missed something subtle regarding part orientation.While the vendor recommends not using an electric drill driver, I did use a medium power electric screwdriver, but only drove screwed items most of the way, with the final snug up with a manual screwdriver. It worked fine, and speeded assembly. I supect the No Electric Screwdriver caution is to prevent overdriven screws inadvertantly yanking out the pressed-in plastic inserts they mate with. Small parts are grouped separately in segmented packets, and most have one or two extra parts included, probably as a courtesy.The loose wooden dowels most likely are not intended for mechanical strength, but to help line up parts while the mechanical fasteners can be installed and tightened.There are VERY faint indentations marking where screws are to be installed for the hinges and door handles. I used a flashlight to look for them (almost impossible to see, but they are there - keep looking). I made them more visible and functional with some pressure from a sharp awl so they had a slight indentation which helped positioning and starting the small self-tapping screws.I did not note anyone in the comments having problems installing the hinges, but i had a heck of a time getting them installed properly.My solution was to install the hinges to the cabinet side and on the door, but then back the screws out half way from the part of the hinge attached to the case, and completely remove the screws from the hinge part on the door so the door is free.. Then the door can be positioned into the extended "open" hinge assembly and all screws can then be reinserted and tightened.I'm still imprssed with the fact that every edge and surface is finished with the excellent wood-like synthetic veneer. Even the bottom of the console facing the fl;oor (which can never be seen), and shelf backs, are totally finished. There is no nailed-on cardboard backing, and there is properly finished (all sides) panel material. And the four corner/leg posts appear to be beautifully finishedREAL WOOD. Nice touch.The Console was shipped by FedEX, and the box weighs a gazillion pounds! Best to open it upon arrival and move the individual components to the area where the consol will be assembled. I used the empty cardboad as a work surface to protect wood floor where I assembled the console. There is a ton of sheet styrofoam, but it can be snapped into smaller pieces, bagged, and disposed in trash pickup.

This is is an excellent piece of furniture, a huge step above run of the mill boxed furniture. Overall it took about 2 and 1/2 hours to by myself and I'm a 75 year old woman. Finish is beautiful, construction is excellent, all pieces are present, instructions are very clear. I am 100% satisfied and actually ordered another piece from the same company today. This purchase is well worth the money and the extra shipping costs.

Honestly it’s so easy to build it only took me like 30 minutes. And I did it alone! The top had a few stains it seems but for the price I expected some imperfections. No pieces came broken or anything! Totally recommend! Only note is the handles are rose gold, not gold.

Beautiful TV Stand / Console. I love the design and size of this piece. It was easy to put together, but time consuming doing it by myself. They didn't send the magnet pieces for the cabinet doors, so luckily - the matching bookcases that I ordered had 1 extra of the magnet piece in them, so I used them to mount on this console to keep the doors latched shut. The quality is great, it is a heavy solid piece. I love the functionality of the shelves and closed cabinet space. Not everything needs to be seen!

Love this!! It’s so pretty and sturdy. Assembly wasn’t bad, took about 30 minutes with 2 of us working on it but to be fair we’re not great at assembling furniture lolI’ve had it for 7 months and it’s still in the exact same condition as when I bought it!

Excellent furniture, very easy to assemble and looks great!

Really great! Sturdy, reasonable price, looks cute, and the instructions were really clear. Lots of storage, flexible shelf heights. The color is really nice in person. The only thing we upgraded was I used a little run and buff on the handles to make them more of a true gold. Took the two of us maybe an hour or two to assemble.

Looks great, but assembly is challenging and time-consuming.
