Monarch Specialties Cappuccino Hollow Core 70-Inch Euro TV Console

I was looking for a modern TV stand for a 51" plasma. Loved the design and the price. The unit is faced particle board construction. It is not hardwood but the finish looks great and is durable. Construction is solid.

BUT, and this is huge for me,...the center section that is supposed to house the A/V equipment does not have wide enough bays for standard stereo components and most blu-ray players. Each bay behind the sliding glass door is only about 16" wide! How does that happen...REALLY bad design!!! Not sure how to return an 80lb. assembled piece of furniture to Amazon.

VERY DISAPPOINTED!

Those four little spaces where the shelves are, are REALLY small, very narrow; so small, they can't fit a normal sized tuner, CD player, DVD player, or anything of that normal sized equipment. We own 4 tuners, 2 DVD players and not one of them even comes close to fitting. You'd think with 70 inches and being an "entertainment" stand, that they'd be able to house entertainment electronics, blah!

Apart from that feature, it's a pretty solid piece, drawers work fine and sliding glass glides smoothly. It is a very dark brown, closer to black than a normal brown.

I like this cabinet very much. I just left out the center divider when I built it so the center is one wide area rather than 2 small sections. My components stack pretty well so I did not need the shelves. This did not hurt the structural integrity of the piece.

The color was not as dark as I thought it would be, but that was my fault for misreading the description. Assembly was very easy, took about an hour. It is a very strudy piece of furniture and the quality of the materials are excellent!

When this huge box was delivered, I thought, oh my what have I gotten myself into, but assembly was fairly simple. It took me about 2 hours from out of the box to putting stuff in and on it. Words for the instructions vs. diagrams would be better or even better, both, but I got through it and it looks great. Love the length of the console, love the contemporary design. Quality seems to be top notch.
