Customer Ratings & Reviews

Wall mount in my den was not an option so I needed a console w/ mount to keep the tv up well separated from my large dog, exactly like the picture. This is a very stable unit and the tempered glass shelves provide additional rigidity. It comes unassembled but the instructions are decent & the hardware is very well labeled; don’t count on using a power screw driver, it took about 3 hrs to put it together with the included Allen wrench. It is easy enough to move even with a 65” tv attached but wished it had wheels. Only negative, getting the suction cups installed that hold the glass shelves in place was rather difficult, I broke a metal tab off but the shelf is still fully supported. Also after I bought it, I got a Best Buy price match payback to their own sale price.

I needed to purchase two of these. One installation was required because I wanted a corner install and it would have been really awkward to put a wall mounted TV stand at that spot in my living room. The mount at the back can be raised or lowered to get an optimal vertical placement. The stand can hold up to 150 pounds (make sure to verify that, my installers had to search and find it, it wasn’t on the sales paperwork) so my 135 pound TV (an older plasma screen TV) was no problem to setup. The stand can swivel, but not tilt. My second installation was required because the space I wanted to use had too many electrical lines running behind the sheetrock. Rather than take a chance on messing up my electrical system or getting shocked/electrocuted, I purchased my second one of these. As noted in the review title, these stands are really nice looking pieces if furniture and there is plenty of storage space for a video server or an AV receiver system. With similar requirements in the future, I would purchase these again. YMMV.

Got this for $93, sale amount shown online was wrong - this was the first win. Bought a Samsung 65” & needed a new mount so decided to get this entertainment center. (Pls disregard old mount on wall in pics, belong to tv I replaced with the Samsung.) Bought in store & box was so heavy (system is 98% tempered glass & steel) it took me & 2 people to bring in the house. If you can get it delivered, that would be ideal. I put this together by myself in a few hours mostly using the BILT app they recommend, visualizing steps made putting this together a trillion times easier, second win. Used a power drill where Phillips was required to speed up assembly. The 3 setup options another gold star - at first I thought I’d put tv on tabletop but changed my mind. I did use the restraint with tabletop & plan to with mounting tv (only came with one zip tie; gotta get another one). Took extra time to change the setup but glad I did. At first I thought the swivel was welded but once I assembled the mount that’s when it swiveled. Tip - read directions ahead of time bc it was confusing when you’re required to screw pieces together only to have to unscrew them if you want to add restraint kit, for example. That was annoying. And I did need another person to mount tv because tv was heavy & didn’t want to take any chances. The glass shelving, beautiful. Because they’re dark I thought the shelves were wood but it’s just the glass that has a dark underside. The shelving was a bit heavy but again I could pick it up no problem. Overall, I absolutely love it & highly recommend.

I purchased the Whalen 3-in-1 Console after doing a lot of homework re: TV stands for my new Samsung 65 inch TV. And right up front I want to say I'm extremely happy with this console and whole-heartedly recommend it to anyone who may be giving it consideration. The finished assembly functions exactly as I hoped, is very sturdy and looks every bit as good as the photos. Before I began looking at stands I thought I'd end up with a traditional, non-glass, console with my TV setting on the top of the console. But right away I found most of the ones I liked the looks of that offered the space for all my components and had the features I wanted, like an open architecture for component ventilation and ease of access to cabling, were well above what I budgeted for a stand. And, when I first saw glass shelved consoles, even though I liked the look of the ones with dark glass shelves, I kinda cringed at the thought of putting a $1,600 TV on a glass shelf. But then, enter the Whalen 3-in-1, with the option of mounting the TV on a swivel mount. And, even though I saw other stands of a similar nature, I kept coming back to this Whalen because of it's looks and reasonable pricing. I read a lot of the reviews for this console before I made my purchase but, since numerous reviews stated the console shipped to their home arrived with one or more broken glass shelves, I decided to make a 21 mile drive to the closest store that had one in stock. I think large and heavy items shipped to stock a store are, in general, handled with more care than a single unit shipped to a home (and all who handle it) by UPS or USPS. In addition to the box being very heavy and needing help carrying it into the house, it has quite a few large heavy staples that need to be removed with pliers to get the box open. But, as others reviews have mentioned, Whalen does an excellent job packaging the parts (both for the stand and for the TV mounting kit) to facilitate ease of assembly and provide instructions that, for the most part, are well written. Though, it's with the instructions where I have my only major complaint. Specifically, Whalen putting a step to align the top shelf frame AFTER two steps that, if followed, PREVENT YOU FROM BEING ABLE TO DO SO! As stated in the instructions, as well as by other reviewers, bolts shouldn't be tightened all the way until everything's been assembled so parts have the "play" needed to fit together properly, which is excellent advice, because the two steps (in my instructions, steps 6 & 7) where you use the provided wood screws to attach the top shelf frame to the left and right leg, are "followed" by the step (step 8) that actually "aligns the top frame properly". I followed the assembly instructions and everything went together just as instructed and I used my drill driver to drive the wood screws into the wood of the left and right legs, as instructed. But in the next step I realized the pre-drilled holes in the Top Shelf Frame didn't line up with the pre-drilled holes in the Inner Metal Legs, and they were off by "a lot". When I used my level to see if the shelf frames were even, vertically, I found the middle and bottom shelves were, but the top shelf was probably 1-1/2" to 2" farther forward than them, which I found later was because the spine was tilted forward because there's nothing done to that point to cause the spine to be absolutely vertical yet. It's aligning the holes in step 8 that actually determines the spines ultimate vertical orientation, and it's just plain stupid to instruct the consumer to drive the wood screws until this has been done. So I removed the 4 wood screws used in the previous two steps and, by pushing the top shelf frame rearward which, if bolts weren't tightened fully, caused the spine to move rearward into a more vertical orientation, allowing the Top Shelf Frame holes to line up with the holes in the inner metal legs. And, once I lined up the holes and put in the 5/8" bolts, all three shelves were even, vertically, and I "then" used my drill driver to drive the wood screws into the wood of the left and right legs, again. It's just ridiculous to put the instruction that actually aligns (via their pre-drilled holes in the metal) the top shelf properly "AFTER" they've had you drive the wood screws into the the wood on the legs which prevents the two pieces from then being able to be moved to align those holes! And this is even more ridiculous because the Top Shelf Frame and the Inner Metal Legs both have "pre-drilled" holes in the metal to align them but there are "NO pre-drilled holes" in the "wood", so the wood screws can be added "anywhere" they're needed AFTER the holes in the Shelf Frame & Inner Leg have been properly aligned"! Makes me wonder if anyone at Whalen ever tried assembling this stand by following the order of the steps provided in their instructions! They really need to either correct the order of these steps in their assembly instructions or insert a seperate note re: this situation. I apologize for going on so about this and just hope doing so may help others avoid a major frustration point in an otherwise pleasant experience. Also, FWIW, the only other comment I have re: assembly is the same comment most every other review mentions re: the suction cups, they're a nightmare to insert! Took me close to an hour to get all 24 inserted. Of the two positions available for mounting the swivel bracket, I chose the highest one so I had enough room between the bottom of the TV and the top shelf to put my center channel speaker without it blocking any part of the picture. I ended up using their provided M8 x 40 bolts to mount my Q70 series QLED Samsung TV. They fit and worked perfectly without using any spacer. The swivel bracket works great and, as they mention, swivels easier after the TV's been mounted. I've attached some pics before the TV was mounted and one with everything completed. I've since re-routed my cabling to neaten things up. Again, I couldn't be more pleased with the final result because I do swivel the TV often from my normal viewing position if I lay on the couch or sectional and, because of the TV'S width, wouldn't have had that ability had I just set the TV on a conventional console like I originally planned. I'm so glad I bought a stand with a swivel mount. Even with my issue w/ the installation instructions, I'm giving this stand a 5 star rating because, if looking for a stand of this nature, I highly doubt you can find one better than this one ... especially for the money!

Great console! Easy to assemble, perfect size, stable, and good looking. I highly recommend fellas S2

Purchased this beautiful piece of furniture online during the Best Buy’s online Black Friday sales event. This TV stand fits my living room perfectly and it’s design, quality and price; was a real blessing.

Purchased this on recommendation of the Magnolia Associate I was working with on my TV purchase (65" LG OLED). I needed an new stand for the new TV and required something "nice looking that matches" (per the wife). This stand matched the room décor perfectly. It also provided great flexibility in being able to either place the TV on it directly or lift the TV on the raised pole in the back.We chose to place the TV directly on the top shelf (for now). Very easy to assemble, however the directions could be a little more clear, not quite showing the sequence to put the parts in, but it only required one extra attempt at positioning a part to understand. loads of spare parts (screws, bolts, etc) provided, which came in handy once I dropped and lost a bolt. overall a great choice, would certainly purchase again.

This is by far the best stand I've ever purchased. I've only had it for a few days, but can tell ill have it for some time. The quality for the price was perfect. I can now see my tv from better much better. The box was extremely heavy but worth purchasing, and taking up a flight of stairs. What should have taken 2 hours took 4 hours to put it together. I had a small issue with the gaps on the top, but pushed hard enough for one to shut all the way. The other side still has a gap, but isn't noticeable. One screw in the back stripped very easily, but shouldn't be a major issue. This stand holds many things, and all the things I use on the daily basis. Im glad I purchased it.

I am very happy with the purchase of this TV stand. It gives a modern look to your room while making sure you get plenty of space for your accessories. Some of the positive feedback is listed below 1) assembly was not that difficult. Took me couple of hours to get the job done. 2) the glass is very sturdy and can handle weight of my onkyo receiver easily. 3) plenty of space as well as dimension to place items 4) looks perfect size for a 75 inch TV.

I bought this stand just in time. It is sturdy, very slick looking and comes with 3 different ways tk display your TV. Only issue i had was putting the top glass on, it was a little struggle and seemed to not be measured properly but i loosened the bolts and was able to get it in…could have just been user error :-).

Very well crafted TV stand. Packaged well box was damaged but no damage to the stand. Only item I would change is remove the glass shelves, not a fan of glass shelving with heavy objects installed above it, right? Haha. Overall an excellent buy for the product received.

I bought this TV console after I got a new 55 inches TV for Black Friday. I was looking for a TV stand where K could put the TV higher than the coffee TV and I chose this one. It was easy to set up. It's crazy heavy though. It's my second console from Whalen. It's a really good price for good quality and sturdy product. I strongly recommend this product. It fits perfectly to my living-room.

I had just bought a 55 inch TV and needed a new stand as my old one was too small and ugly. I found this and it’s beautiful l. Very well constructed and a nice size to fits all of my equipment! I have plenty! Love the swivel on the stand so that I can angle it to my liking and it even has cable management. 100% satisfied!

This thing is great. I hung a 43” tv on it along with sound bar, PS5, Mac Mini, XBOX and still have room for more things if need be. I put it together myself. Definitely would’ve been easier with 2 people, but it can be done. Don’t tighten down the hardware 1 by 1, Get it collectively together and then tighten down. Instead of reading the instructions it tells you to download an app and the instructions are animated. Couldn’t be simpler. Also, the picture I added makes it look small, but it definitely isn’t. Lookup the dimensions and make sure it fits your space

Was very easy to follow all instructions and looks amazing in my living room. And the swivel on the TV stand is very helpful for plugging cables into my TV. Amazing product

Received the box and it was really heavy. I had a difficult time assembling this myself, as some parts need to be held in place for the screws to be secured. It's tricky to assemble alone but still possible. Assembly was well-documented and easy to follow. HOWEVER, there is a faulty part, and I didn't realize it until the stand was already 3/4 assembled. The faulty part in my case was the SWIVELING BRACKET (part i), which seems to have been welded or painted in place, which prevents it from swiveling. Hence, I could only follow the instructions on assembling a table-top console, instead of my desired floating swivel mount. Will be calling Whalen customer service to see if I can have the faulty part replaced, but as a table-top console, the stand is very stable and secure. My 65-inch Sony X900F TV and Sony HTX-9000 soundbar looks good on top of it, and there is enough room in one shelf to fit my Sony 4K bluray player, PS4 Pro, and cable box. For those in search of a visual guide to assemble this, check this link: https://vigs.sellpoints.com/products/whalen-3-in-1-tv-console-bbxl54nv/ Will edit this review depending on whether or not I receive the replacement part from Whalen.

This item took me about 15 minutes to set up it is ver attractive and strong, high quality product.

Very well designed, had no problems assembling it and I installed a Phillips 65 “ tv with my audio components, plenty of room

My 60 inch Samsung fits perfectly on this stand. I have my tv mounted on the stand itself and it's beautiful! It took myself alone, about 2 hours to assemble. Not too difficult, just time consuming. You will need an extra set of hands for the Tv.

On the cover of its shipping box there's a picture of a ps3. Basically its been around for a while so now its on sale and its a steal. Well made. Please read others reviews. They are correct about instruction steps not being in correct order, and i too am not crazy about the tri pod feel but like a washing machine there are adjustable feet that screw up or down . My advice is use a level which instructions say is included but mine did not have it. I used my own. But a level is invaluable here. take your time make sure you understand what you are doing so you do it right. One of the screws that go in the wood the head broke clean off so maybe not the strongest material It states it fits up to 65 inch tv. Other reviewer said 75 an included pictures said a little room to spare. Pleas also be aware of your TV weight. Stand says 135 lbs though i wouldn't trust it over 100 just saying So I decided to risk it and order this stand for my Samsung 82 inch 85 lbs behemoth and it fit with NO room to spare. Lol. An 83 in would not fit One thing to know as well it was so big that once connected it slanted forward so I had to adjust the screws to TV to un do slant and its perfect Im very happy you probably will be too Great classy clean stand
