 Attractive and well designed, but pricey April 18, 2008

I purchased this to hide my home theater gear and keep it safe from dust, etc. The stand looks more like a nice piece of furniture than a TV stand. I had trouble finding something I would like, as most of the A/V furniture seemed either too hi-tech or just junky in appearance. I've moved beyond the point of showing off my A/V equipment (well, except my LCD TV), so the fact that this effectively hides all of it (with the aide of an IR Repeater and ventilation) is what sold me. br / br /There is some assembly required. It took about an hour and a half to install the legs, top, and shelves to the base, which comes pre-assembled. However, the quality is much better than other furniture I've assembled in the past. It uses real wood...imagine that!!! br / br /I didn't have any issues with shipping or stability. The Geneva model here comes with a rectangular frame base that fully supports the entire cabinet. The other reviewer may have bought the wrong type or number of legs for his cabinet. And fortunately, CEVA did a great job transporting the unit. There was ample support and cushioning in the box mine came in, and the box was clean with no holes or cuts. br / br /The only downsides are that it is kind of expensive. I had originally planned to spend about half this much until I couldn't find anything in that price range. However, the free shipping is a great deal (free delivery took about 9 days), as it would have cost much more if I bought it locally, as I would have had to pay for delivery plus an 8.25% sales tax. br / br /Also, make sure you're A/V gear will fit in the shelves. I have a Sony 400x DVD changer that doesn't fit well due to it's depth, but fortunately I was already planning to sell it since I've converted my DVD's to play on an Apple TV instead (it's so much smaller/better). br / br /Lastly, make sure you buy the cooling kit if hot-running A/V gear will be enclosed in the unit. I mistakenly bought the 30" because Amazon links to it when I actually need the 20".
 I do not recommend this, unless ... February 28, 2008

This unit is very well design except it needs additional legs 1/3 from the edges under where three individual boxes join. I had to make them myself because if you do not have them, it sinks visibly exactly 3/8" et centre if loaded by TV (It was only old 32' TV). Also unit is heavy and packaging doesn't have enough Styrofoam to protect and had to be returned. (Smashed corners.) From Amazon I got a new unit no problem, but Amazon at was at that time promising to return shipping money after unit is returned. Because unit is so heavy, return shipping was over $ 400, but even after repeated mails and requests with the bill for shipping, I never got the money and Amazon doesn't answer at all. ... Be careful.
