| | When I recieved the product, the box looked as if it was used as a beer pong table for generations upon generations of frat life. Once I opened the box, I found most of the pieces were either scratched, or the corners of the top portion of the stand were bent upwards. Most of the small bags containing the screws and such were torn open, leading me on at least a half hours worth of digging around to find loose screws and fasteners through all the packing material. Other than that, it's a very sturdy and nice looking stand for my flat screen TV. A 47" LCD fits perfectly on top. I don't know if it's how the company stores the furniture, or how they ship it, but it was completely ridiculous the condition I recieved the product in.

| | I decided to check this model out at my local Sears before purchasing online. Boy, am I glad I did.
First of all, every joint needs to be reinforced with wood glue (not included). Don't think you are simply going to put this together with the hardware that's included and it is going to stay that way. You need the wood glue to reinforce all of those joints.
As for the material, it is pretty solid composite pressboard with a VERY thin wood "veneer" on it. I nicked the "veneer" with my thumbnail easily. If you have kids or expect to set things on this without leaving a mark, you are out of your mind! The material itself seems very sturdy...this is no paper-thin pressboard and is a heavy unit, but it's appearance is not going to stand up to much. In addition, the doors use cheap hinges and do not fit squarely.
Also, this unit is very short. My wife said it looked too small even for our tiny living room.
There are some good things about this piece: The shelves are adjustable and can fit pretty much any component you have, it LOOKS great, and the material can physically (NOT cosmetically) probably stand up to a bit of use.
Think carefully before buying this. It may be great for your first apartment, but if you are looking for furniture that is going to last you for 5-10 years, this is certainly not what you want. It LOOKS great when it is freshly assembled, but that won't last long.

| | This TV stand is high-quality and looks great. I have many nice pieces of furniture from travels in England and Germany and I have received as many kudos for this "mail-order" stand as some antiques I own. This TV stand is stylish and well built...you can't go wrong by ordering this item.

| | I had bought a new 46 inch lcd and needed a stand.I saw that Amazon carried the Techcraft Veneto 48 inch stand and decided to purchase it. The picture on the web site matched my furnishing and when I recieved it, the material looked much better that the picture. It took me about 1 hour to assemble and with my new 46 inch lcd the combination looks fantastic. Before my purchase with Amazon I priced tv stands at my local stores and the prices were higher and the quality was lower. This stand fits my needs and it will fit anyone who desires a stand that looks like a nice piece of furniture and the cost is reasonable. Also the delivery was in three days...

| Very nice piece of furniture! | |
| | I love my new TV stand. My boyfriend put it together so not sure how easy that was. It looks great though!! I hear this has been discontinued as I had to go through 4 different vendors b/f I actually received. Many sites SAID they had it but none did. Amazon finally came through.
