Low quality not low enugh price
2 out of 5 stars.
We bought this item after a lot of research to find the "perfect" TV stand. We bought this one because of the look, price & depth (we have a deep receiver). It is all particle board (didn't realize that when we ordered it). One of the shelf pieces bent in shipment and now we have a crease going down it. It took hours to assemble (they only sent exactly the # of bolts etc you need and some got lost in shipment) by my husband who is VERY handy. And he said it will stand pretty but could fall apart if not moved carefully!

A lot of screws... one missing
3 out of 5 stars.
If you are shopping for a nice looking cabinet, this is a very nice looking one. It takes a while to assemble. It was missing one of the MANY screws, so I sent my son to the hardware store to try to match the missing one. The doors are VERY hard to put on so that they do not scrape the bottom. The screws that attach the doors strip the wood easily. The product looks good, but for the price I was expecting something that would not strip so easily.


Large box & strong smell of new paint.
5 out of 5 stars.
I actually picked this up online for $321 shipped to a local Wal Mart. Besides the usual (very heavy, nice and sturdy, good quality, long assembly time), I'll add something new: Have a pickup truck with you if you have to transport it! I was hoping I could get it in my Accord. After 20 minutes and with the help of 3 people, I was able to get the whole thing in my car. We had to open up the box in the parking lot and put it in piece by piece. The box is 28"x63"x8" and weighs enough to need 2 strong, or 3 people to lift it. I also had to air out my house overnight because the smell of the fresh new paint on all the pieces was extrememly strong. I also had to drive home with my car windows down because the smell was unsafe for freeway driving. I have not assembled the unit yet, but I've put together Bush furniture before and I was very pleased with the assembly quality. Based on other reviews, I expect this one to be no different, and because of the price I got this for, I give it 5 stars!

Perfect for the Price
4 out of 5 stars.
The Bush Riverwood Video Base looks great in our new rec room and it holds our components nicely. Unfortunately I had planned to put the center speaker in the stand, but it isn't wide enough. Like everyone says, it takes 3-4 hours for two people to assemble, but we had no difficulties. And, we cut out a larger portion of the back to allow more ventilation for our receiver. Ordering through Amazon was the best price and particularly nice because their free delivery included the shipper bringing it into the house, most of the other online services didn't and it weighs a ton! We are delighted with our purchase, you will be too.

Great piece of furniture
4 out of 5 stars.
Great piece of furniture. However, the assembly is very time consuming. Nothing is preassembled.
