Wow!!
Talk about a bang for your buck. This looks luxurious and was affordable. What a steal! I had a professional install it though. Took them about 3.5 hours for installation.

Beautiful addition to living room
My mom wanted a media console for her new living room that would pair nicely with an 85â tv. The 80-inch floating fireplace was the perfect size and the white finish is very vibrant and looks high-end in my opinion.I was able to assembly it by myself and only needed a second set of hands when mounting to the wall. (Photo was after assembling, before mounting). The instructions were very clear but note that the LED lights are in the box with the electric fireplace.I wish there was more flexibility in the placement of the mounts (hooks and cleats). I was only able to get two of the mounts to align with the wall studs. The other mounts were installed using the drywall anchors, which werenât the best imo. If you are going to use drywall anchors, get some better ones.Overall, I am very happy with the quality of the media console and am highly likely to get one for my own home. The seller, Happy Tao, was also great and easy to work with. Highly recommended!

Love this
So beautiful. It brought my living to life. The instructions were a little confusing but still pretty easy to assemble. One tip: Be mindful of where u place the led strips. I guess I placed them a little too far up so the light shines through the top cracks of the storage doors.

Great piece!
It took me a while to come to the conclusion if the money was worth it. I love how it put my living room together and Iâm really glad I bought this piece. Quality can be better for the price but to be honest the aesthetic was everything to me. I donât plan on putting many things in the cabinets so storage wise is meant for a couple items. Instructions were easy and it came together nicely! I would buy again!

Not well suited for an electronics-heavy setup. No flexibility in mounting
I want to start out by saying the unit looks amazing. The mounting hardware was really nice, as you can tighten the hooks onto the wall brackets for a snug fit. It was really easy to assemble. Installation instructions recommend 2 people to assemble and install, but I found the only part I needed help with was physically lifting it to hang it on the wall. The only complaint I have from a setup and assembly standpoint was that the pre-drilled holes for the cabinet back panels were in the wrong spot, so I had to drill new holes to secure them properly. The instructions will also tell you to install the fireplace and doors before you hang the unit. I strongly suggest leaving them off until the unit is on the wall, as all of the cable management runs behind the fireplace and youâll need to remove it to run your wires (I put a cable pathway inside my wall from the TV to inside of the unit to hide all of my HDMI cords, there are notches cut in the top of the divider panels between the cabinets and the fireplace niche to run cables). There are just a couple of things to note before you pull the trigger on this unit:1) If you have an electronics-heavy setup, it may be better to find something else. The cabinets are small and have no ventilation. Itâs best to install your electronics on top of the unit. Only problem is there are no cable pass-through holes cut in the top, so youâll need to drill them yourself. I found this annoying, as I was going for a clean, cable-free appearance.2) The manufacturer states that the unit is intended to be installed on either a brick or concrete wall, and the hardware provided is for a brick or concrete application. If you live in the United States, itâs highly unlikely that this will be the case. The wall bracket is not a continuous angle, itâs four (4) small brackets that need to go in very specific locations. The likelihood of you hitting a stud with this setup is slim-to-none, which was the case in my installation. I used 3/16 – 24 toggle bolts and it seems solid now, but Iâm a little concerned with the longevity.Overall Iâm really happy with the appearance of the unit, but functionally there are some improvements that can be made. If you have some level of hands-on experience, youâll be able to make small modifications to tailor it to your specific setup. However if youâre expecting to just assemble, hang and have it work for any setup, I would look for something else.
