Amazon.com Review
From the furniture-style Sonoma collection, this video base provides a handsome display for most 36-inch conventional TVs (up to 240 pounds) and most 60-inch flat-panel TVs (up to 154 pounds), plus plenty of peripherals. Three tempered-glass doors protect components and accessories from dust or damage, while a center open cubby holds a speaker or often-used item. All shelves are adjustable for storage flexibility, and a top drawer handles small items like remote controls. For inconspicuous wire management, there are strategically placed cutouts in the back panel. Finished in a deep Mocha Cherry veneer with square, silver-toned drawer pulls and gracefully flared legs, Sonoma has a classic look that is both comfortable and crisp. The video base measures 57-7/8 inches wide by 22-1/8 inches deep by 20-1/8 inches high and has been tested for tip-free safety. Assembly is required, and instructions and a toll-free customer help line are included. Six-year warranty. --Kara Karll

Customer Reviews

My wife is happy and I'm tired.
I bought this for my wife to replace my ugly bachelor style MDF/Sender Block "entertainment" unit. I was very happy with the price, and more than impressed with the packaging to prevent damage during delivery. Be ready to have someone help you move it into your home as it is incredibly heavy for one person. I had to flip it end over end to walk it through my front door (this is not the recommended procedure in case you are wondering). If you have stairs, setup your chiropractor appointment first. From that point I opened the box and took out all 5 million parts. I opened the directions and got started. There is nothing complicated about assembly, but set aside an easy 3-5 hours to work on it. Having built many of these "type" of various units, I now prefer to take my time and double check everything before I get half way through a project and have to start over. I suggest the same. Almost every piece on this unit requires that you glue many wooden pegs for support. While I like this from a construction standpoint, I'd be lying if I said it did not take me a while to complete it.

Over all the stand is functional, the perfect size for my Sony 60" XBR TV. It holds my 4 main components and all different type of remotes function through the glass. The drawer is nice as it holds extra remotes so I know where to find them. I also like that the back is solid wood and not cheap cardboard....so there is a lot of support. The only "Con" is that the center speaker section in the center of the stand is not big enough to hold any real quality center speaker. Mine is currently on the floor in front of the TV stand as a result. At this time I'm not sure how we plan to remedy that. All in all I'm happy with the stand. If you have the time and you have the brawn, then I would more than recommend this stand for you.

Very solid TV stand
Yesterday and today (about 3 hours total, even with my 5 yr old "helping" me) I assembled this TV stand, and I'm very happy with it overall. Delivery from Amazon was faster than promised, and there was no damage to the unit when it arrived.

Positives: 1. Very solid construction. This unit is very heavy in the box, but once it's assembled it is very sturdy. In addition to the four corner legs, there is a 5th leg in the center of the unit. As a previous review states, the back is solid instead of cardboard. 2. Very nice design - looks like a good piece of furniture once assembled. 3. Quality product. Everything lined up perfectly during assembly, and the two glass doors and top center drawer appear to be square to the eye and no "rubbing" of doors as they open and close. 4. The unit is packaged very well, minimizing the likelihood of damage in transit (and when you struggle to get it where you want it in your house).

Some drawbacks: 1. Although my Time Warner DVR Cable Box fits on one of the shelves behind the glass door just fine, my Onkyo receiver is a very tight fit. I had to remove the other glass door to get it into the cabinet, then reinstall the door. 2. The air circulation in the cabinets behind the glass doors is poor - it gets very warm in there with your AV components running. Still, there is an opening around the glass doors that lets some cold air in as the hot air rises and escapes out of the top cable holes in the back of the stand. 3. Costs $60 more than what appears to be the identical TV stand in a light Cherry finish (Sonoma collection).

Note that the center shelves and drawer are not very wide, you won't be putting any AV components or speakers in that space - it's for remotes, magazines, CDs, DVDs, etc.

Overall a very good TV stand. A nice value - better than the cheaper stands out there but not as expensive as a "real" piece of expensive furniture.

Nice furniture--great value
I've been looking for a widescreen TV stand for about a year, both on-line and at furniture stores. I came across the Bush VS05850 while doing Google searches and it was exactly what I was looking for--I couldn't have designed a better stand. The color (dark cherry) and style (contemporary "elegance") goes perfectly with our decor. The stand took a bit under 3 hrs to put together (including unpacking)--it was simple to build, although heavy. The stand is solid and is very good quality. My only complaint is the lack of good ventilation for the components--you'll want to keep the doors ajar when running your heat-producing systems. (Note that I purchased this through another on-line seller that offered free shipping.)
