No delivery compliants. Package and product like new.Assembly required, but it's not difficult. Quality A/V cabinet.
The rest of the materials that make up the stand are just OK. The rear panels, for example, can easily be removed for access to your video or audio equipment.
They had it priced at $999 which seems to be some sort of price fix since, no matter where I look, including Amazon, the price is the same. We were looking for furniture to hold our 42" LCD HD TV and came across the Salamander Synergy 323 in Best Buy.
At half the price I would probably have given this 4 stars since it seems to be designed well. At that price this furniture is absolutely in the realm of the ridiculous.
Adding further insult injury is the fact that you have to actually put this stuff together yourself. Some of the materials, especially the perforated steal inserts, seem somewhat cheap.
If you are looking to buy an item like this in this price range I suggest you look at a fine furniture store that discounts.
No real complaint about the unit. If I was not home to help bring it in it might have been a disaster.Once I started assembly I realized that the instructions for each box assumed different configuration possibilities and were more difficult as a result. They should refrain from putting both boxes into one 143 lbs. box as UPS forces driver to deliver without help and my unit, while not damaged, was in a very crushed outer box. The pegs for the shelves were real simple to put in but the illustrations were difficult to follow. Also, when tightening the corner bars they will spin and damage the surface of the bottom shelf.Once assembled it is a good looking and functional unit.
I was hoping that the inner box would protect the item, but, alas, one of the two doors was damaged. This Salamander Designs rack is very well made and looks great. I'm now trying to get Amazon to replace the door, but they can only exchange the whole unit. It takes a few hours to assemble, but the result is nicer than most home theater furniture out there. Unfortunately, Amazon's shipping (via UPS) didn't go so well and the outer box arrived in very bad shape. The shipping box is completely destroyed, so I've been forced to contact the manufacturer directly. Crossing my fingers.
