Winsome Xola 40643 Cappuccino TV Stand (40643)

So, start with my only complaint: kit furniture usually has stickers labeling each piece so you can match them up with the pictures in the directions. This does not. It took me a while to get started, figuring out which pieces I needed and how to put them together. After I got started, though, I did the entire thing alone in about 30-45minutes. The kit comes with an Allan wrench, but you need a small Phillips head, too. Pro tip - read all of the directions carefully first, and then do not tighten anything all the way until you’re ready to stand it up. This is just good practice for any assembly. If you can, a second set of hands would make assembling the doors a LOT easier. But I did it alone and they look good. The wood isn’t perfect, and there’s quite a few blemishes. The doors are also slightly offset, but it’s something you’re only going to notice if it’s been pointed out to you. However, for the price, this is really quality. It’s sturdy and it looks more expensive than it is. I would buy it again.

It’s a beautiful piece. Solid wood. The “instructions” to put it together are okay but require a lot of thinking and focus to understand. There were some problems—a hole not cut properly, a defect in one of the pieces, screw holes not cut deep enough. But for the money it’s a lovely piece. Their quality control needs improvement.

So I read reviews of this product before I bought it. Told my husband that some people said the assembly was challenging and time consuming. Not too challenging for him, but it did take about 2 hours to assemble. My tips are: make sure you take everything out of the box and make sure you have all the pieces and read instructions before you begin! Once you start assembly and realize something is missing, it's too late. Some purchasers are stating that the doors are difficult to get on and the doors only open a few inches. My husband had this problem, then realized the hinges were upside down. They need to be put on as shown in the picture. Once he figured that out, it was no problem at all. Also, if you are missing a part, or if anything is damaged, you can request a replacement. Look on your instructions sheet and it will tell you how to do this. All in all, I think it's a beautiful piece of furniture.

For an inexpensive piece of "Kit Furniture", I am solidly impressed! I received it today, assembled it today, and replaced an outdated huge piece of Oak with it today. Please take Note! Assembly can be completed by one person, in about 30 minutes.... IF YOU READ the Directions FIRST. Because I consider myself pretty handy, I have a tendency to scan the directions, and dive right in. Do Not repeat my errors! I had to undo a few steps... more than once; due to my "dive right in" attitude. The sides are assembled with a combination of bolts and wooden barrel-plugs (and there is NO Glue used). The barrel plugs are simply for added stability and alignment of the pieces. And there are no M-type bolts as indicated in the inventory list.. (no place to use them either). DO NOT tighten any of the bolts until final assembly, or you will not be able to get the table top into place! Even though there is sparse written directions, study the graphics.. it's really not complicated. And I can assure you that you will be quite impressed with the final result. It really is a heavy/sturdy/nice piece of furniture, and a bargain at $161. I'm using this to sit my center channel speaker on, as part of my new ($8,000 Home Theater). I would not use this if it did not match the quality of the overall system. I will add photos after completion.

This assembled very easily in a couple of hours. (I was working slower than normal having just come off of an ankle injury). I didn't have any of the problems mentioned in reviews with the doors or knobs lining up; they all looked perfect when the assembly was complete (the doors look slightly different colors in my picture, but that's because the angle I was using to avoid background light was pretty sharp). The middle shelf easily fits an xbox series x with lots of room for airflow on the top and sides. If I eventually upgrade the PS4 to a PS5, it will obviously have to be in a horizontal position. My surfboard modem fits right in there as well as the router, and an xbox controller charging station. The cabinets below are tall enough to fit game discs for both consoles standing up and some additional storage for extra controllers and etc.. The precut holes in the back were nice for cable management. I installed a surge protecter inside the bottom cabinet, but screwed to the top to avoid losing all the storage space. All the consoles and other equipment is plugged into it below and you're left not being able to see any cables except the bright yellow one connecting the router to the modem -which I had to use because my shortest cat5 cable other than that was about 25 feet long. I'll replace that with a black one eventually and you won't be able to see any at all. The cabinet also hides the cable pass-through which goes through the wall and up to the TV itself. The result of all of this is that it looks like real furniture and not something meant to power gaming devices and hide cords, which is exactly what it was (or at least what I) had intended for it to do when I bought it.

Unit looks good overall, however it is not worth the $200 price. The product is mass produced with cheap labor and little to no quality control. Main cabinet frame is sturdy and gives appearance of quality material (even though it is low quality with a decent finish to it. Alignment of construction holes is off in some locations making fit difficult. Instructions are definitely NOT for people who have never put together furniture before, in short they are terrible and to read some of the diagram details you need a magnifying glass. BIGGEST issue is the cabinet doors... THEY WILL NOT OPEN, one edge has a chamfered design that is too shallow, such that when it is mounted the doors will only open a few inches before the door strikes the frame and CANNOT be opened further. There is no room for making any adjustments to the hinges to accommodate this error in the mass production process. I will have to use the unit without the doors. I would NOT recommend this product to anyone else. .

It's really hard to find a nice TV stand at an affordable price, so I was thrilled when I found this one. It's great looking from far away, but if you're a perfectionist who expects brand new items to be flawless and does not want to communicate back and forth with customer service, this is not the TV stand for you. Although my item was carefully packed, the 2 sides either had scratches/dents or faded paint on them, and the left door does not fit when I screw in the nails where the holes are pre-drilled. I filled out the replacement form and emailed it with my receipt, and was promptly sent replacement parts, which also were carefully prepacked. However, I did not receive a replacement left door even though I requested it and received 2 of the same side (instead of 1 of each side). The replacement sides either had faded paint or another dent, but luckily, they were for the same side that I had a dent on in the first shipment. Instead of contacting customer service again, I gave up. I decided to leave my left door as is and will drill new holes once I find my drill, and replaced only one side of my TV stand. Both sides just have faded paint instead of dents/scratches, so I'll just find matching paint somewhere and repaint it. If this item were not on sale, I would just return it.

Very satisfied with this stand. High quality for an RTA product. Excellent finish and fit of components. Many of the components are preassembled simplifying the assembly. I picked this particular tv stand because of the open shelf clearance allowing me to place my speakers for a digital audio player in the open shelf. The opening is 8 1/4" tall by 39 1/4" wide. Height actually rises to about 9 3/4" just inside opening but constricts down to 9" tall under the center support bar that runs the width of top. Most units only have 6" opening, if that.

Nice quality wood rslight red in colouring perfect size for an apartment. Highly recommend as good quality not usual flat pack material. Easy to assemble.

I did have one problem. It came with 2 left ends. Rather than go through the hassle of collecting all of the cardboard out of the garbage to send it all back, I decided to cut a groove where needed in a left end to make a right end. Love the product, but I guess more control needs to be placed on correct packaging.

Facile a installer, matériaux bien fait

It’s a beautiful tv stand
