Bush Riverwood TV Stand in Satin Black

Bush Riverwood TV Stand in Satin BlackThis is my second purchase of a Bush Product. This console is replacing the first entertainment unit because I finally bought a 46" LCD TV. I did extensive internet searches and was having difficulty locating something that could handle the TV and my 7 audio pieces. This console does the trick nicely.

The assembly was time consuming, especially for a retired carpenter. However, all the parts were there and nicely packaged for ease. The instructions were san-words but the illustrations were accurate. Kind of relives the requirements for multi language format. Each page handled a different component and listed the required fasteners. They did not supply nearly enough glue, but that was an easy trip to the store for more.

The one problem I did encounter that I feel the manufacturer should list in the instructions is that when you install your audio equipment in the lower compartments you need to take care not to scratch, ding and mar the softwood lower piece. I found this out the hard way. The glass doors to cover most of this damage and a black felt tip pen took care of the rest. I would be nice if they listed a warning in the instructions or better yet supplied a simple plastic protector strip which could be removed. This is the reason I gave it a 4 otherwise I would have given it a 5.

One of the bumpers for the glass doors was missing the rubber part. It may have been knocked off by me. I called the toll free number and actually spoke with a human right away. The woman was friendly and ordered the part for me. I received 4 of them in the mail within a day or two. Petty good!

The Bush unit that this replaced was about 15 years old and was still in great condition. I was pleased to be able to pass it off to my friend and he likes it.

Overall, I would recommend this unit to anyone looking for a smart looking unit with three drawers (good for all the remotes, and DVD storage) and plenty of room for audio/video equipment.

Apparently this is a popular unit because it was back ordered. The vendor promptly emailed me with the status. The trucking company called in advance for an appointment. I brought my truck to work the next day and the driver delivered it to the back of my truck. This is a very heavy unit, don't try to lift it. I opened the box in the truck and took it in the house a piece or two at a time. Plenty of styrofoam but no shipping damage.

Enjoy!

After a very long delay because of the Christmas rush I received my purchase. The delivery transfer truck was not equipped to handle this heavy of a box and even tried asking my 95 year-old father-in-law if he could help get in off the truck. Assembly went well but I was missing 2 screws for one of the drawers. I am very satisfied with its construction and appearance.
