Rated 5 out of 5 by woodsmith Painted cottage entertainment center
After reading of some assembly problems, I was a bit leery about ordering, but LL Bean's reputation as a fair and honest supplier caused me to go ahead. The site said 1-2 weeks delivery time, and it arrived in 3 days. The packaging is impressive-no damage whatsoever. Assembly was easy and took about an hour. Directions could be a bit clearer, but managed ok. Several people complained about the doors needing magnetic catches, but this one has them. The stand is well designed and sturdy. The only fault I found was a tiny unpainted spot by the door hinge. Called customer service and they are sending some touch-up paint. The storage behind the doors could use a shelf. All in all, a great product.

We recently purchased this piece as we have the rest of the collection. We love this set. l was however a little disappointed in this piece as one of the doors does not line up porperly and fits at the top but leaves a gap at the bottom. Other than that it is a great peice of furniture.

I searched for a small dresser to use as a TV table with storage, but settled on this console. It was shipped by UPS - arrived in a few business days - no damage - didn't take long to assemble. I have my router and DVD on one shelf which leaves another shelf for other electronics or storage. It's very heavy, sturdy, well-made, has a great ivory painted finish, and it's a good height for viewing TV screen from the sleeper sofa. It's in the Toy Room where grandkids sleepover, but I use this room daily. It's a great-looking piece that completes this casual room and matches my North Haven dresser if I ever wanted to use them together.

The entertainment console arrived in good shape. A friend and I put it together on a Saturday afternoon. I am pretty handy and usually have no problem assembling RTA products. The instructions are very vague and could be improved. We had two issues during assembly. One of the sides didn't line up properly, the nut on one corner was at an odd angle and would not allow the bolt to thread. With the unit 3/4 asembled, we completely disassembled it and reasssembled it with no success. We finally had to use force to align the bolt, to the point where the side cracked where it had been glued. The good news was that it all got together, I reglued and clamped the side. The other problem was very poor threading on the two posts that hold the door. One was good enough to thread after a few tries, the other I was ble to re-thread using a lot of force and vise grips, fortunately it worked. A project that should have taken under a half hour took a good couple hours. Fortunately it all got together and seems to be fine. I like the look and function now that it is together.

Rated 4 out of 5 by WIfarmgirl I like it a lot but...
the only flaw is that the back piece we received did not fit, it was too wide and thus the screw holes were all in the wrong place. We are using it without the back, which is fine for now, my husband is going to cut pieces from the back to put in back of the cabinets, the shelves are fine, even preferred, without a back. also I agree the cabintes could use some kind of latch, we will probably add some magnetic ones. considering the lack of latches and a back that does not fit, some kind of credit or adjustment should be made.

I recently purchased a console to use with my TV. I was extremely disapointed with the quality of this product. I discovered several pieces were broken when I attempted to assemble. The quality of the wood in this product is of poor quality. This is the second wooden product of poor quality I have purchased from LL Bean in the past couple years (adarondack chairs). I will not purchase wooden products from LL Bean in the future. I was impressed however with LL Beans return policy. In both cases my purchases were taken back with out question and was issued full refunds.

It's even better than I expected! I am using it in a summer home as a piece to put suitcases on top of and for guests to store their belongings in the cupboards and shelves in a twin-bedded room. Very functional at keeping the clutter corralled. It's heavy, so we put it together close to the room in now lives in.

Good color. Delivered quicker than expected. Went together easily except for slight confusion on directions of what size screw went in corner. Easy to straighten out.
Seems very strong which is good for our tv. Quality seems good. Wish we could manufacture it here in USA.

I love country decor and have been looking forever for an entertainment center. The price was a perfect fit but I thought the unit would be taller. Its higher than a standard coffee table but shorter than a sofa table. The TV sits lower than I expected. My fault read the dimensions but made it work. AN ADDED PLUS... they added magnetic closures to the cabinet doors (saw a post to the contrary) SO EASY TO PUT TOGETHER!!! Although a typo error in instructions refers to the wrong screws to add to the bottom base corners. Figured out they should be the longest ones Step 6 Reference "K" should be "M6 -35 #S". Cant wait for my book shelves to get here and finish off the look. Was also able to cut out additional holes for cords to fit through the back panel to customize my electronic pieces. Only one large cutout in the center. Needed additional holes in cupboard area that houses game consoles.

This is well made. It goes togeather easy and looks good when done. The screws for the knobs are incorrect,but that is easly fixed at your local hardware store for 75 cents.
