Shelves:
Overall, I really love this stand. It feels sturdy, looks great, and was pretty much exactly what I had been searching for in a tv stand. I actually would’ve purchased this sooner had I known more of the specs, so I am writing this review in large part just to pass on some of the details:
First of all, here are the shelf dimensions:
Middle Shelf
• Approx. 11.75” deep (with approx. 2.25” clearance between the shelf and the sliding door)
• Approx. 25” wide
• Approx. 10” high on bottom shelf (the shelves are adjustable—this measurement is using the center shelf position)
• Approx. 13” high on top shelf (the shelves are adjustable—this measurement is using the center shelf position)
Outside Shelf
• Approx. 11.75” deep (with approx. 2.25” clearance between the shelf and the sliding door)
• Approx. 14” wide
• Approx. 10” high on bottom shelf (the shelves are adjustable—this measurement is using the center shelf position)
• Approx. 13” high on top shelf (the shelves are adjustable—this measurement is using the center shelf position)
This was not emphasized for some reason, but there are two USB ports on the left-hand side (if you are facing the tv stand from the front). They are USB Type-A and the cord to power it is USB Type-A as well, so you’ll need to your own USB power adapter to power it.
There are cable management holes at the top as well as the bottom (see attached). This was not apparent in the specs on the site and/or the stock photos and was one of the reasons I was at first unsure about buying. There are also small triangular cutouts at the bottom of the shelf walls on the bottom shelves so cords can go between them (attached pic of stand as it is being constructed). I have a gaming console on every shelf of the stand, so I am very pleased that the manufacturers were thoughtful about this.
It took me about three hours to put together the shelf. I did it on my own so perhaps it would have not taken as long with help, but the directions were straightforward, the parts fit together nicely, and I didn’t run into any issues.
My only real gripe with the TV stand is I wish it was a bit deeper. My Wii U (the console part) and my Hyperkin RetroN 5 hang over the front of the shelf (see pics). Although the shelves are only approx. 11.75” deep, since there is about 2.25” additional space between the shelves and the sliding doors, you actually have 14” clearance between the back wall and the sliding doors. My gaming consoles, therefore, fit without hitting the doors. Also, the shelves can be pushed forward so the hanging over is reduced. I still wish, however, that it was just a couple of inches deeper to avoid this altogether. This was a minor issue for me, but if you have a large receiver, larger consoles, etc., be mindful of this before deciding to purchase.
Besides the depth issue, I would highly recommend this stand. Its wonderful cable management system means this is a TV stand that was actually built to be a TV stand (I found several that did NOT have holes in all of the shelves when shopping). Plus, I love that it has sliding doors (this TV stand is replacing one that did not have doors; I wanted one with sliding doors to reduce dust accumulation while avoiding having open swinging doors in the way when using consoles that use wired controllers). And with the unexpected addition of the USB ports, consider me a happy customer!
