Walker EdisonSaxon Mid Century Modern 2 Door Glass Shelf TV Stand for TVs up to 80 Inches, 70 Inch, Birch

Black Friday. Brand new 85” Samsung QLED. Now where to put it?Typically I don’t wall-mount TV’s. I guess after years of living in apartments I prefer not to drill into walls. I’ve always used stands. So I planned to do the same this time. The tricky part was to find a stand big enough to accommodate a TV this size (and weight). This was the biggest stand I could find (it’s listed as supporting 80” TV’s, 200+lbs) and I liked the simple yet elegant aesthetic with the nice wood grain.Assembly of furniture like this (TV stands, computer desks etc) is always tedious. Lots of pieces, plenty of screwing and Allen key twisting required. This was one of the easier units I’ve assembled. I did it mostly by myself; my wife tried to help with some steps but ended up getting in the way more than anything. It took about 2 hours total, including a couple of unrelated interruptions. There’s one step where you need some strength to really push in 8 screws while twisting. That was the hardest part. Everything else was pretty simple. There are lots of parts, but they come individually bagged and labeled with letters which makes it very easy to find the piece you need for each step. The manual was pretty easy to follow. If you’ve put together several pieces of similar furniture, and have strong hands & arms/shoulders (arms/shoulders for pushing down hard while screwing) you should be able to get it done in about 90 mins if fully focused or about an hour if you have an assistant.As mentioned previously, I purchased this unit in part because it was the biggest one I could find and can accommodate 200+ lbs. There’s a caveat here. My new TV’s built-in stand is one single piece that goes under the TV in the center. Since I planned on standing my TV directly on top of the stand instead of mounting it to the wall, guess what my issue was. All the weight of the TV lands in a small area right in the middle of the wooden TV stand. 100+ lbs of TV resting on the middle of a long wooden plank...it sagged down a bit in the middle. There is no support down the center of the stand, so it will sag if you place a very heavy object in the middle. Now it wasn’t THAT bad, ...maybe I could’ve left it like that, but I didn’t like the idea of my $3K brand new TV sagging down the middle of the stand. So I took it off the stand, and hired local TV mounting pros the next day. Great decision. They did a great job, and the TV and stand look great - no more sagging.The back of the stand also has nicely placed holes for cables towards the top instead of in the middle like other stands. This makes them pretty much invisible unless you sit down right in front of it. The cabinets are pretty roomy, as is the glass shelf middle compartment. For now I don’t have the need for any other media equipment so it’s pretty empty. Maybe a PS5 will look nice in there ;-)The unit is sturdy. It has 6 feet, including 2 in the middle for plenty of support. I layed across the top of the stand once I finished assembling it (I weigh 220lbs) and it felt solid.So I highly recommend this unit - just make sure if you plan on standing your TV on top of it instead of wall mounting, ensure that the TV’s stand splits the weight of the TV to each side instead of one stand in the middle to avoid the sagging issue.5 stars.

I had read some of the negative reviews which mentioned receiving damaged pieces and was a little nervous that I might have a similar experience. As insurance, I used my phone to record the entire unpacking process to document any damage and show how everything was packed in case I needed to repack it for return. I needn't have worried. Everything in the box was in perfect condition.I had the package delivered into my garage and unpacked it there. As I unpacked it, I carried each piece from the garage to my bedroom where it was to be assembled. All were unblemished. I compared the parts present against the list in the instruction booklet and all pieces were present and accounted for. Just in case, the manufacturer includes a package of extra fasteners, etc. in case any were missing or defective. I didn't have to open that package as I had everything I needed.All in all the instructions were clear and pretty straightforward. The only time I had trouble orienting a part was the magnetic door stops — one of the first parts attached. Common sense told me I should mount them with the bare magnet pointing outward but, to me, the drawing in the instructions appeared to show it pointing inward. I decided to follow what I thought the directions were telling me to do — that was a mistake. When I mounted the doors (one of the last steps) it became clear the bare magnet needed to face outward, toward the door. It was pretty simple to switch its orientation.Almost everything is fastened together with Phillips-head screws of various sizes. I had some difficulty finding screwdrivers to fit — all except the very smallest Craftsman-type screwdriver I had was too large. I used a Phillips-head screwdriver from a set of precision (miniature) screwdrivers I use when working on my computer. I had to be very careful — I didn't strip any heads but I came close a couple of times. Particle board can be surprisingly hard to screw into. I had to be careful with the smaller screws to make sure they went in straight. They sometimes wanted to tip to one side or another.The holes for the shelf supports for the glass shelf were rather tight. I could put one in with my bare hands but the other three required some gentle tapping with a hammer. Not a big deal but I dread to think about removing them if I want the glass shelf at a different height.Full disclosure… I'm 74 years old and arthritic and don't have the stamina I once had. Working alone it took me a span of 2 days to complete the assembly of the cabinet. When my body told me we were done for the day I listened to it! Someone younger or with an assistant could do it much quicker — probably within a 2-3 hour period. If you read the directions carefully and take your time, you should be able to successfully assemble this cabinet.The results are worth it. It looks like a much more expensive piece of furniture than it is. It's sturdy and attractive and I expect to get years of service from it. It blends well with the "Danish Modern" bedroom furniture I've had for years.

This tv stand is pretty nice. Easy to assemble. Sturdy. It's much nicer than the end tables I got from the same company. They match perfectly but the quality is night and day... Importantly for this review, id definitely buy it again.

This TV stand is nice but not super sturdy. (I changed out the handles on mine). The stand bows under a reasonably low weight over time, particularly around the vertical dividers. So today I added supports directly underneath the dividers, and I wish I'd done that immediately. I need to straighten my doors up a little now that it's not bowing. The surface scratches kind of easily as well. But it looks really nice, and I think now that it's supported it'll hold up for several years. I love the size, shape, style and color.It's good for the price!

For the money, it's a really good tv stand. It looks great and is functioning well. It's pressed board so you're probably not going to want to open and close the doors alot as they'll come loose but other than that, no concerns.

I was very pleased with this buy. It is nice quality and came well-packed. It looks great and is very sturdy, which is what I needed. It was surprisingly easy to put together, but really takes two people because of the size. The only thing I don't like about this furniture - and they all have this - is that it requires a hex tool (aka allen wrench?). I finally bought an expensive screwdriver with an interchangeable bit that fit. Makes it much easier! Although all the parts were supplied, I appreciated that the company included a "spare parts" package in case a piece was missing.

Very nice, does the job

Fills the space in the room nicely. Lots of storage space. Happy with it. Overall feels sturdy. Easy to assemble. Doors secure close via magnets.Showed up with a big scratch right on the top panel, and one of the rear veneer pieces had a broken corner. Upset about that.There are cable access holes in all three sections, but only at the top. You will have to either make a new hole at the bottom for any devices on the bottom requiring cable access, or route the cable behind the shelves and up through the top holes.Note that I drilled an additional set of holes for the center glass shelf in order to move it up high enough for my audio equipment.TV in the photo is 49"Small parrot for scale.

The media could not be loaded.  Looks good, took about 2 and a half hours working on this alone. Everything went together pretty easily.. Except... For 2 holes were not big enough fr the metal screw things to fit in flush like the other 4.. So I just left them out and it worked out fine. Pretty straight forward if you follow the step by step 16 page instructions. Came in percect conditions extremely fast Shipping by UPS.

There is always the risk when ordering something online, it's going to look or feel way worse in person. This is not the case with this TV stand. The quality is there and the piece looks very sharp once assembled. Would recommend.

Looks great and it's pretty decent quality for MDF furniture. I had no problems assembling it solo aside from the doors which were a huge pain to align properly.

This TV stand looks great and supports our 65” TV. Took a while to assemble because there are lots of parts and it’s fairly large, but assembly was straight forward.
