"In looking for a corner TV stand I visited many stores in Canada (brick and mortar & online) and could find nothing like this corner unit (most were metal and glass, and the wood ones were, well, ugly).
My main concerns were shipping to Canada, and colour (hard to tell from the photo).
SHIPPING TO CANADA
Once I placed my order, I received a quote for shipping, which included ALL the charges. The unit arrived a week later with none of the usual taxes/duty/brokerage, as it had all been taken care of in the shipping price. Well done.
ASSEMBLY
This unit was straight forward to assemble. From start (opening box) to finish (turning on my 46" TV) was less than 3 hours. Had a coffee break in there, too.
All pieces are in labeled separate bags, making it easy to find the required hardware.
**ONE piece did not have two holes drilled for the wood dowels. Marked a 5/16 drill and drilled the holes myself. Took 5 minutes. No problem.
FINISHED PRODUCT
Looks much better than picture. Lots of compliments. Colour is closer to what I was hoping for in the walnut, the picture seems to have a little more red, which is probably my monitor. The unit is sturdy (I stood on it adding some extra cables to the back it the TV) and everything aligns perfectly. Drawers, while not deep, are functional for remotes / manuals and odds and ends. They have stops to prevent them coming right out.
CONCLUSION
Very happy with purchase, love the look of the unit. With the shipping and exchange made it more expensive than I would have liked, I would not have been pleased with anything else, so money well spent."
