Very solid construction. The cabinet door mechanism works well. Plenty of space.

It takes a while to put together although, to be fair, the manual is as good as any I have seen for constructing flat pack furniture. The cable clips look a little fragile although I've had no problems so far.

Very cool to look at, much better than the cheaper open stands and matches the Sony LCD TV very well. Components seem well made (assemble from flat-pack). The front door-flap is cool - it slowly hinges down with barely a whisper, and won't slam shut - though you can adjust the dampers. Plenty of shelf space for ancilliary kit - but see bad points.

Very heavy! With hindsight, we should have bought a stand with castors. Ours had a minor scratch in the glass at one corner, luckily not very noticeable. Not too difficult to put together, but it takes time - read the instructions thoroughly before starting! The main issue for us is that the internal shelves are _just_ too shallow to enable our DVD/Surround unit to fit inside, so it has to sit on the upper (open) shelf gathering dust. It looks plenty deep enough inside, but it isn't. Oh, and the cable clips at the back come unstuck and fall off after a few days.

took two hours to put together ( but that could be me being slow!)
Can still see wires through the back of the middle shelf , would have prefered that shelf to have been ''blanked out'' at the back like the lower cabinet.

The product is exactly as shown on your website - streamline, elegant and modern. We very much like the hydrolic and quiet opening of the drop-down door, the smoke glass front and the overall quality of the cabinet.

None to speak of but, in our case, we would have preferred the chrome tops of the legs to be black.

Not enough depth as if you put a DVD/Video recorder on the bottom or top shelf you cannot get the door shut because there is insufficient room for the cabling at the back. I had to drill a couple of holes in the back of the product to let the scart sockets sit at the back so we could shut the front.
