Very impressed July 18, 2008

First let me say that I placed the order for this on 7/3. I did not recv it until 7/16. This is the reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5.
As far as the unit itself, it's a magnificent piece! Everything was package and bound tightly in a sturdy card board container, filled and surrounded by stiff styro foam.
It only took me 2 hours to put this together. The instructions were very simple to read and follow. It helps of course if you have had 'some' experience putting these types of products together, but it def is not a requirement.
The color, fit and finish is top notched. The pieces are all very sturdy and heavy. If you've got to move it, do so BEFORE placing all of your equipment in there. It's 161 lbs all by itself! I did make a small mistake on the left door (as you're looking at the picture), I'll need to redo that one..it sticks slightly. The other door functions perfectly!
The brushed stainless steel knobs are very classy. I'm planning on buying the matching equipment console directly from Bush.
My 52" Samsung HDTV (LN52A750) that I purchased from Amazon as well, looks beautiful on this unit.
I would def recommend to friends/family.
CEVA delivered, unpacked and checked the pieces.
 Bush brand "Sonoma TV stand" July 12, 2008
This TV stand is very good quality even though it is not real wood. Assembly took about 3-4 hours but was not difficult in general. The finished product is very sturdy & extremely nice looking. It is working perfect to hold my new 52 inch LCD TV which I purchased it for. The stand has a contemporay look & enhances the appearance of any room. I don't think one can find a better purchase for approximately $300.
 I guess worth all the effort... March 25, 2008
Okay, so it's a lovely piece of furniture, BUT I nearly killed myself trying to build it. The instructions were not clear (I ended up using the wrong screws on the back, and then couldn't attach the front glass door, but it's fine without- I'm too exhausted to fix it and dang thing weights over a hundred pounds so I don't want to move it). Two pieces of the wood were damaged and trying to find a place to stash this monster for a week while I awaited replacement parts was a pain. Even one of the replacement parts had to kind of be repaired... but I will say that they were very easy to deal with and replaced the parts without question (perhaps this happens alot). I hated the thing while I was building it. But it's really nice now that it's done. I don't think I'd do it again though... and really don't look forward to ever having to move it... even an inch.
A Bush Experience March 23, 2008

I ordered this audio/video cabinet based upon its attractive design, functionality, price and good prior review. The overall experience was quite frustrating, to say the least. As a previous review stated, the unit comes unassembled in a large, very heavy box. Unless you are a 6'6" weightlifter, you'll need a helping hand to move it!
Amazon did their part in shipping the item quickly, arriving in two days! Unfortunately, FedEx must have dropped the box on a corner, enroute. Upon opening the packaging and wading through an extraordinary amount of packing material and a myriad of individual assembly components, I found that the table top was badly damaged.
I called the manufacturer's customer service # and the situation was promptly handled by a rep. They committed to send a new top via 2-day air. So far, so good. Once the new top arrived, I proceeded with the assembly. This was not for the faint of heart. It is an extremely time-consuming process, often tedeous and frustrating. The enclosed documentation is adequate, but not overwhelming with detail.
About 1/3 the way through the installation, there is the need to attach the bottom of the unit which is shown in the manual with a weight attached to it. Unfortunately, the weight that came with mine was detached... ultimately determined to be a result of the original FedEx box drop. I called Bush Furniture again, and after going through a lengthy phone conversation, the rep offered to send me another table bottom with the weight properly attached. Rather than trying to figure out how to dispose of more furniture scraps, and now a 15lb metal weight, I opted for reattaching it myself using screws and epoxy. It worked better than the manufacturer's solution, but consumed another hour of time.
Once assembled, the cabinet is attractive and above-average in quality. The European hinges on the side doors need adjustment (no documentation for this in the manual), but should be fine once accomplished. The fit and finish on the center glass door could also be a bit better.
Now that I'm done with the assembly, I'm satisfied with the end-product, but I would have to think long and hard about repeating this again. I'm a pretty handy person who is very comfortable with mechanical endeavors and the use of various power tools. It took me about 5 hours or so, start to finish, interrupted by several problems along the way. Bush Furniture handled the problems well, but I'm not sure the cost savings was worth the trouble.

This is a decent cabinet that I use for towel storage in my bathroom. Assembly was fairly intense with all of the screws and cams that lock it all together. This is far from solid wood craftsmanship, but it the finish is very nice. Overall good value for the money.
