ZINUS TV Stand with Shelf, 40 Inch, Red mahogany wood grain

I could not be more pleased with this table. It arrived swiftly and was well-packaged, with no missing or damaged parts. It was easy to put together. It is functional, attractive and sturdy, especially for price! I would recommend this table without hesitation!

I bought this to replace a smaller end table that housed my electronics. While it was sufficient, the closed back made changing connections or moving gear in and out really bothersome. In addition, I was expanding my system, adding an amplifier (actually a Fisher 500C valve receiver for now,) a DAC along with a turntable to be inserted relatively soon. So I needed more capacity and more utility.I looked at furniture that was purpose built as audio racks. While some would fit the bill at a reasonable cost, and at least one provided cable management facility, all were more expensive and most were too tall for my needs. I finally settled on the Zinus, a brand totally unknown to me. Most of the reviews were positive. One reviewer mentioned that the shelves were not high enough qualify for his tastes, so he had new shelves made. The shelves are not fine furniture grade, no one should expect them to be at this price. Personally I think they are fine given the price ($49USD at time of my purchase,) and if I ever feel the need for something better, it will be easy enough to have alternates made.I agree that the shelf colour is not really “espresso”; yes, it is quite reddish, like a reddish umber. It doesn’t exactly match my cabinets, but I’m not going for a spread in Architectural Digest, and to be honest I really like the colour.Assembly was very easy. While an Allen wrench is included to affix the bolts, I used a power screwdriver to make it easier to get proper torque. Altogether it took about 10 minutes. If I were to assemble another unit, it would take me five - easy peasy! I especially like the minimal modern styling, the clean lines.I haven’t finished the entire installation yet - I need to do a better job of dressing and hiding all the cables, the amp is on order, a phono preamp is needed, and the turntable will be restored before I’m all done. I’ve added a photo of the current, early stage installation. I would gladly buy another if the need were to arise. In a bigger room I could see adding another to serve as either a second equipment rack or a coffee table. Yeah, I’m pleased.

The table is fairly sturdy, for something this inexpensive. It was very easy to put together.. I think it took longer to rip the packaging on the hardware apart than it did to put together. The condition of the metal border is a little rough, with scratches and dents, but nothing too noticeable. The style is cute, but the "wood" is way more orange than I expected it to be. If you're hoping this will just blend in with the other more natural looking wood in your decor, you may want to try something else, or be prepared to spray paint this thing.

I bought this several weeks ago to use in my new apartment. I just put it together after completing my move to a new city. The stand was very easy to assemble, and the design illustration was more than adequate to convey what needed to be done. I like the panels and their color very much. The black metal framework is both sturdy and attractive. I bought this on sale. It was worth every penny.

I'm absolutely happy about my TV stand. Good and sturdy for my TV and it looks good too. The red mahogany doesn't stand out too much, just enough to make everything flow together perfectly. Very easy to put together as well

Today's date 12-3-19....This is my second purchase of the same exact table. It is indeed more of a red color. The company needs to make this in browns, white, and solid black. It is a very good stand, but I got one from an apparent bad batch? As if perhaps they cannot keep up with mass production and let go of a bad batch?Whoever QA'd this at the manufacturer totally FAILED to see that the boards within the frame are not secured at all !! If it was my company, whoever is responsible would be in trouble. The double-sided tape does not hold up and company should not use that brand of tape again either. So if you are moving your tables it poses a hazard that the wood inset will come out and fall, either hurting someone or ruining the table. This is a shame because it is a nice looking and functional product, plus the price is great . The first table I bought (December 2018) had zero flaws. I use it for one of the hallways to put 4 large litter boxes on, because I do not have a garage or a laundry room with which to put litter boxes . I wanted something that does not look as bad as having litter boxes lined up. The cats like it. These definitely are great for holding plants. I do not have time to return this, and am upset about the QA mistake. Remember that this can make this product dangerous if you move it, so do not tilt or turn it sideways. Hopefully yours would of had a better QA. Took off 2 stars.

Last year I spent $359 + local 10% sales tax for a poorly designed table that was impossible to assemble without scraping the paint on the legs, without making big scratches on the wood-grain panels. This TV and media stand arrived today, about an hour ago and a day ahead of schedule. The box was easy to open without spilling the contents on the floor, and the contents were protected very well with cardboard and foam that fit precisely. In less than one hour I opened the carton and assembled the stand. My left forearm was•is in a brace [for wicked tendonitis] that restricts motion to little more than pinching; I am typing with one finger on one hand. But the instructions were easy to follow, the assembly intuitive, and the frame can be assembled without•before the heavy drop-in panels. Great design! And it looks quite handsome next to some pricey Dania "campaign style" furniture. My wife is impressed. Very well impressed. After the holidays, I will search Amazon for some bookshelves in the same style, from the same thoughtful manufacturer. Great show, Zinus.
