ioHOMES Cedric Modern 2-Drawer Rectangular TV Stand with 2 Glass Door Cabinets, 60", Espresso

We received this on November 14, 2019. After lunch on November 15, 2019 I decided to unbox the parts and pieces while the hubby was at work. Once I had verified that there wasn't any damage to the pieces; there was a deep gouge in the box that affected the styrofoam but not the pieces. I took a look at the directions, and the parts list. I took my time and labeled each of the packets. After that it was slow methodical putting the pieces together, the only area of confusion that I found were the flying buttresses and how they affix to the sides, once I got that corrected it was fairly easy going. It took me 4 hours from start to finish with the odd break here and there. I didn't need power tools, and the hubby did help with the heavy lifting when it came time to do so. I did have a screw break while putting the hinges on but luckily we had a self tapping screw that I could screw in that worked. Having installed this type of hinge before I have found it's easier to get it level if you don't take the hinge apart. Just double check the direction of the door before installing the door side and then set the two top screws in the cabinet (making sure the door is level at that time). Any other small adjustments can come from the center screw in the hinge.It's a lovely piece and makes our dining area more pulled together. The color is a very dark espresso.

Okay, it looks nice, but don't lean against it. It is not solid. The dowels holding it together are okay but the board it is made of is low density and rubbish. The way they tell you to put it together puts a strain on the dowels and the chip board just gives way. So now my new cabinet looks like someone took a hammer to it. The holes for the drawer slides on mine were just off enough that I did not notice until I put the drawers in. The left side of the top drawer is a half inch higher than the right side and does not align with the doors. The boards on the back are to be put on with tacks that will not hold it. Rubbish.So, after a shouting match with my wife- who wanted to send the whole thing back - we are putting stuff in it we rarely use in case opening the doors causes it to tip over.The door hinges are very nice.

I have also put together a lot of flat packed furniture. And as mentioned in other reviews, assembling this buffet is not for the uninitiated. If you new to putting together flat packed furniture, find someone who can help you. This piece took me roughly 6 hours to assemble and was pretty straight forward, but the doors/hinges were a definite pain in the butt to align. And it can be assembled by one person.Is is a decent piece of furniture considering the price point. It passes the "5 foot" inspection easily. However, get closer and you will see some flaws and mars, which was a little surprising considering the wildly excessive packaging, but your friends will never notice and it does look good overall. I gave it 4 stars only because at this price point, it's as good as you're going to get. This buffet is going to get little use other than display and it just works well in our kitchen, so the lower quality particle board and inferior drawer hardware isn't an issue. However, these materials would not cut the mustard with something like a dresser or anything else that is intended for moderate to heavy use. You have to get into the 350 to 400 dollar arena for those items.Bottom line is that this buffet is exactly what we expected to get and we are happy with it.

The only reason why you might want to reconsider getting this - the instructions was not very clear with step by step you have to think hard about what side or if u need to turn it around then turn it around again etc or so and the tools and little pcs came in a plastic that has no label at all i even had to put lettering just to be faster in choosing the next pcs to use and it was not even areaned in alphabetical order and he plastic just had dividersThe only reason we purchased this online is for it to be free delivery lolAlso had some dents and scratches but i used black markers to cover them even if it was well covered with styro and some thin foamsThe cardboard at the back was so thinNails were not nails some were just metal without headsThere was a missing plastic rod for the glassGood thing i am very familiar with ikea products it is not very similar but the builds and parts are mostly the same but I would suggest they put a more detailed instructions as i kept on guessing and i needed to check dif pages to make sure im using the right washer or soI did this alone and took me almost 4-5 hours in total with cleaning and setting t

Cool, modern buffet very reasonably priced around $270. Realize it's a laminate finish as opposed to actual wood. Looks just fine except that when you're directly over it, it looks a bit artificial and I don't love the grain. Also, the drawers don't have a smooth, silky opening mechanism. It feels a little cheap. And it will be 3 hours to assemble it, assuming you're pretty skilled. That said, looks nice and has pretty good storage for much less than a piece at, say, pottery barn. It's not the same quality/construction, but looks nice enough and gets the job done. I had a guy assemble it for me. I would have happily paid more for a finer finish and smoother drawer mechanisms. All in all, considering the price, quite satisfied.
