BAXTON STUDIO Haversham Mid-Century Retro Modern TV Stand Entertainment Center and Display Unit

You are buying a furniture that looks and feel like a thousand dollars furniture! Amazing quality, beautiful color, strong parts and it gives your place a mid century look. The only tricky part is the assembly. It is quite dificult not to make a mistake. Many small parts and pieces. Always check the orientation of all parts!

MCM styling with plenty of storage. Fair quality, though veneer/particle board combo isn't the best I've ever seen even for pre-fab furniture and is prone to indentations, so be extra careful putting this together--knocking a piece against another easily mars it. It's light weight, so you can move the pieces alone quite easily. The two pieces to either side of the floor drawers just rest on the drawer unit, they are not attached. This is fine for being able to move it easily, maybe not so fine for bumping into it.The bookshelf part isn't finished on the back (e.g. they didn't veneer wrap the back of the boards, which seems a cheap shortcut since it's an open back and we're talking narrow strips that could have been finished but aren't) so you cannot use it as a room divider and must be up against a wall. Reasonably easy to assemble solo even though the number of boxes/parts is a bit intimidating.Came in three sizable boxes with a scheduled delivery. Packaging was in-tact and all pieces arrived without damage.

When I first bought this I was a little worried based on the reviews and the price but it is great. I was worried about not getting the instructions but they did. In my review photos I uploaded them just in case anyone needs them.Everything was in good condition and the box was not too beat up. If the box was beat up I would have probably returned it for a new one just Incase before I pulled everything out...It took about 3.5 hours and wasn’t any worst then any ikea furniture. Only problem I had was on step 11 where they have you install the “P” part of the shelf. The way they show you is to have the cam that locks the “bolt” facing to the front. I turned it 180 degrees so it would look better. Would buy again.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:THERE WERE NO INSTRUCTIONS IN THE BOX. had to google a pdf file to try to figure it out. Took all day to put together. It’s nice though. Once you finish

The media could not be loaded. It took 2 people about 5 hours to build, but SO worth it. It extends so you can make it as small or big as you would like & all in all it is very sturdy & worth the money!

Got my package on time, which was great, all pieces were there. Assembly instructions were not very straightforward and I lost a handle since they were loosely packaged in the box, but the piece could be assembled by one person easily enough.It looks better fully assembled than I expected, but the laminate scratches so easily. I placed one of the boards on the floor and only lifted it up but even a small paint chip managed to scratch the laminate. I worry what my cat’s claws may do when he finally figures out he can jump on it.It’s also worrying that the pieces do not connect but instead layer on top of each other with no bracing or screws to keep them together. This might keep it from falling apart or needing a wall brace, but hopefully all the pieces are heavy enough that sliding (and scratching) will not be a problem over time.This is definitely a short term piece for your home that looks pretty enough until you find a solid piece made of wood or thicker laminate, especially if you have kids or pets with claws but like MCM style pieces.I’d be much happier if the handles were packaged in a small bag and the piece came with a touch up marker or tougher laminate, but you get what you pay for.(On an up note, I really love the legs that came with the piece, as they were solid, no visible imperfections and look nice. If I can find a set, I’d love to slap them on a couch.)

Lots of reviews said it was hard to put together so I hesitant to buy but went ahead and took a chance! It’s a little cheaply made, the veneer chipped in one spot during assembly and the drawers on the bottom are a little wonky. Luckily, you can’t really tell about the drawers unless you’re looking at them closely. The instructions were overwhelming at first and the parts are labeled but not well (stamps were smudged/hard to tell what some of the letters were) but once my boyfriend and I sat down and really got down to it, it wasn’t as difficult as the other reviews had suggested. Despite all this, the final product does look great in my living room! Very cool modern piece! If you’re handy all, you’ll be able to get it together!

Looks really good in my home. It took me about 2 hours to put together. Well worth the price!
