Baxton Studio Dark Walnut Sideboard - An Elegant Storage Solution for Your Home

K. HoffmanK. Hoffman: As others have mentioned, this does take some time to assemble. Personally, I am very bad at these things and it took me 4 hours. Several times I put things on backwards because the visual illustrations were not clear to me, and I had to re-do. But also as others have mentioned, it is worth the effort given the price. It is the perfect size to conceal our large ugly intake vent in our living room while still giving plenty of space for the air.

Marie: I bought this to use as a table for my turntable. I did not get this as vinyl record storage. Not sure why people were buying this for that purpose as it’s not stated as such anywhere in the description. Granted, you can set your records on the shelves, but for proper storage, the shelves are too small.

I liked the look of this item because it reminded me of a vintage style radio/turntable and I thought it would look nice in my home. After assembly, it turned out to be reasonably sturdy. And even though I was aware of the dimensions before buying, it was still a bit smaller than I had thought. Large enough for my turntable, two small speakers, and that’s about it. I’d imagine it would also work nicely as a TV stand for a medium-sized television.

As for the assembly and instructions: MAJOR HEADACHE! I’ve put together these prefab type of furniture pieces before. Some are more difficult than others. This one was far beyond difficult. It was a pain.

Even with preparing myself by reading the reviews of others saying they ran into problems, I still was unable to avoid having to re-do a lot of the assembly. The instructions are too basic...

Song Neul Ra: I am very pleased with this purchase. It is a beautiful piece and very sturdy. The quality definitely exceeds the asking price. If I could figure out where to put another one in my home I would order a second one. I highly recommend this piece. Assembly was very easy, no special tools needed.

CharMadCharMad: I’ve been looking for a wide TV stand (at least 80”) for at least five months now, but I couldn’t find a style that I liked. The ones that I did like cost at least $1500...no thanks. I came across this credenza and figured I could put two together. I’m really happy with how it turned out and it only cost $160 for both! Yeah, it’s not the best quality, but I really like the look. it took awhile to put them together and the instructions weren’t too difficult to follow.

UPDATE: I wasn’t crazy about the knobs on this thing. The whole piece looked a little dull, so I decided to replace them and I’m so glad I did. It’s the little things that make a big difference. If anyone is interested, I bought them on Amazon. Just search Cosmas Brushed Brass finger pull.

Rango: For those wanting the short version, the build quailty is ok (MDF board with laminate topping). The hardware is pretty cheap it does look nice though. Assembly is tricky the instructions are unclear but it is doable, does not fit vinyl records.

Ok on to the long version.

The build quailty is on par of that of ikea or target, cheap plastic hinges and basic drawer sliders and the drawer/cabinet knobs look neat but are cheaply made.

Assembly was difficult, the instructions are very basic and there are multiple pieces that look like one another and the pieces do not come with any markings. The top and bottom pieces of the cabinet look very similar but are different as are two of the side pieces, take your time putting everything together if the dowels seem loose then you are insterting them into the wrong piece.

The biggest letdown for me on this cabinet was that it is not a record cabinet which I specifically searched for, not sure why this came up but if you’re looking for a small table top cabinet or media center (note you’ll have to drill holes in the backing piece to run wiring) on a budget this will get the job done.

Francois LemieuxFrancois Lemieux: I was wondering if I could fit some LP vinyl (12") in the lower shelf - but it doesn't fit. 7inches fit pretty well in the top shelf.

Otherwise i'm pretty satisfied with the result. It takes about 1h to build (1 person) - instructions are a little bit confusing, but if you are using your head and some patience and it's pretty easy. Comparable to Ikea. The whole thing seem pretty solid, and it's kinda heavy (the heavier the better)
