Leick Home 87350 Three Door TV Stand with Cabinet Storage for 55" TV's, Westwood Brown Cherry

I can't remember the last time I ever took the time to write a review but was so impressed with this purchase I had to share. This is a quality piece of furniture. I have done some research and read all reviews. Leick furniture has been around for a long time and has an excellent reputation for making quality REAL furniture...not particle board laminate with decal overlay finishes like Sauder. This unit is a fantastic design and beautiful assembly process! Arrived fast and not a single scratch or blemish. I was hesitant to pull the trigger on this due to some concerns others have brought up such as the smell or the color being lighter than expected. So here are my responses and opinions after having received the product:1.) Smell...there is none really! Yes, if you lay your check right on the surface and inhale deeply you will smell the aroma of a new wood product that smells like it was made with quality but not some sort of industrial stain or glue smell. Maybe others have had units that were somehow not fully dried but this was not my experience.2.) Color is a nice cherry with a slight amber. Looks deep and rich; not washed out like one other reviewer's photo seemed to indicate. All other reviewer photos look very close to the color of the unit I received. Maybe that one reviewer's unit was somehow a bit off but I suspect it was more an artifact of the photo lighting. I have tried to include photos in different lighting conditions during daylight hours with light from my windows as well as in the night. Certainly the exposure of the photo can change the appearance of the color but believe me the color is indeed an accurate representation of the product as shown in the listing. If anything it may have a richer color with a bit of shimmer rather than the product listing that seems to show a more flat color. But it is a deep rich cherry color that is less reddish than a true cherry. Basically the perfect color for complimenting the furniture in a room with actual wood tones.3.) Size is Perfect for my 55 inch TV! Seems that most TV stands for large screen TV's are either 60 inches wide (too wide) or around the 42 inch width (too narrow). I have have a 55 inch TV on it and the width is PERFECT! I also like the 20 inch depth that gives me room to actually rotate the TV for different viewing angles in the room as needed. Most units seem to be around the 16-18 inch depth so the extra couple inches in depth is perfect without being too deep and bulky.In comparison I would not recommend the "Sauder Palladia Panel TV Stand" which seems to be comparable but less expensive. I saw that unit at a local store and the quality was terrible. Gaps and poor fit and finish everywhere...and that was on the display model. Not to mention that the assembly looks like a nightmare. Yes it is a bit cheaper but one could easily tell the the laminate surface was little more than a plastic sticker that had already begun to peel up from the corners and edges on the display model. Buying it would be a mistake unless it is needed for an ultra cheap throw-away occasion like a college apartment or something. In conclusion I would say that if you are looking for a TV stand to fit a 42-55 inch flat screen and wanting a nice wood unit this is a perfect choice! A unit of equal quality at an actual furniture store would be in the ballpark of $600 or more....believe me I have been shopping for one for over a year.

I was very worried that this tv stand would be cheap looking. It is so nice and I certainly like a good quality piece of furniture. It was extremely heavy and had to open box in the garage and carry the pieces inside. My husband helped me carry the pieces in but I put it together. I am 68 & this was the easiest piece of furniture I ever assembled. It is the perfect size for the area-could not have anything wider than the 52" stand.

My TV stand arrived two days ago. Overall I like it, and it looks great!Unpacking:My TV stand arrived in a huge, heavy box, held shut with tape that was disintegrating, so the box was really hard to move inside from my porch. It was heavy enough that it took me and two teenagers to carry it into our house. I didn't try opening the box on the porch and bringing in one piece at a time, which I would have done with another product, because from the reviews I expected the TV stand to be all in one piece. But actually it turned out that I should have done that, because the shelves, top, and bottom were all separate from the main part of the TV stand, so I could have opened the box and had a number of manageable-sized pieces that I could have carried easily into the house, one at a time.Assembly:The main piece of the TV stand does indeed unfold like magic. Then you add the shelves and the top, screw in a few bolts, screw in the cabinet knobs, and it is good to go. This was mostly very easy to do, but there are four pegs that fit into holes in the bottom shelves, and one of the holes on my unit is not in the right place to match up with its peg. So right now that shelf is tilted, and I will need to drill a new hole for the peg to go into. But the holes are underneath the shelf where nobody will see them, so this repair will be invisible once I do it. Also there was a bolt for the top that would not screw in to its hole until I pushed on the back panel a little, but then once I pushed on the back panel the bolt went right in.All the hardware that I needed was there, plus four washers that didn't seem to be anyplace in the instructions, so I am not sure what I was supposed to do with those.The steps in the instructions were easy to follow. Each piece of the TV stand had a sticker on it that matched up with its step in the instructions, which was super-helpful for knowing which piece to put where. And the steps were brief -- it took maybe fifteen or twenty minutes to have everything put together.IMPORTANT TIP: Attach the doorknobs *before* you close the cabinet doors for the first time! The doors are fairly hard to open if they are closed without knobs. I closed them and then had to use a kitchen dinnertable knife to reopen one of the doors, and I was worried that the knife would mark up the furniture.Smell:The TV stand has a smell to it, kind of like furniture polish. The packaging in my recycle bin has filled my garage with this smell, and for the first day or so the room with the TV stand in it also had this smell, though now it seems to have dissipated. I only smell it when I open the cabinet doors.Packaging:The box says, "Made in China." There was plenty of packing material to protect the TV stand -- it arrived in perfect condition.Summary:Overall, this is a good-looking and sturdy TV stand. I am pleased with it. It looks durable, so I expect it to last for many years.The future:Someday when I move to another house, I don't know if a piece of furniture that unfolds and then is held together with pegs and a few screws will be sturdy enough to be moved, so I am concerned about that. But sitting in my den this is a really nice piece of furniture. I expect to live in this house for years, so it will be a long time before I need to worry about moving it.

The media could not be loaded. If I could give it more than 5 stars I would! Came 2 days sooner than expected and was a cinch to put together. The quality is outstanding right down to the bevel glass on the center door. As mentioned in all my reviews I appreciate Amazon offering the 2nd payment plan of breaking the cost down to 5 monthly bites…I would not have been able to purchase otherwise! Lo and behold 72 hours after I ordered it Amazon eliminated that 2nd payment option…something told me to purchase it and boy I’m glad I did. This thing looks like a well made sturdy piece of furniture that will last a lifetime! There’s nothing cheap about it!!! Very very happy and satisfied!!

This looks great, it’s easy to assemble, and it’s a good value. But it has paper thin veneers and questionable structural integrity. For example, it has an open bottom that you cover with shelves. I definitely wouldn’t move it with partial disassembly. Would recommend bBut the price is right!

Was a cinch to assemble, everything fit perfectly. Only downside was not enough pegs provided to hold up all of the shelves. Fortunately had some from the entertainment center it replaced.

Good looking product,easy to assemble,good quality..I would recommend
