Bush Furniture Universal Small TV Stand, High Gloss Black Reviews

• Good quality at the price

  
  By AOMEH9W6LHC4S on 2007-11-25
  This is a nice-looking unit, in a modern minimalist way. It's possibly a little difficult to tell from the photographs, but the steel frame has a nice semigloss enamel covering. With reasonable care, it doesn't look like the finish will nick off.
  
  It comes well-packed in a single carton, weighing nearly 100 pounds. All parts are embedded in custom-molded polystyrene foam. Be aware that you'll have a LOT of foam to discard. Once you wrestle the box into your domicile, individual parts are light. A small-framed person might wish to have a helper for the three glass shelves. Assembly instructions are simple and reasonably clear. Anyone with the slightest bit of mechanical aptitude should be able to put this stand together in under an hour. While quite solid mechanically, I did have one bolt that didn't grip its specified hole. There doesn't appear to be any warping. Instead, I believe the hole wasn't quite properly tapped. There's enough redundant support that I'm not going to worry about it.
  
  One small complaint. The framework is comprised of hollow steel pieces. Depending on your listening levels and choice of listening material, there's some chance that this frame could resonate slightly. The very best frames would fill those areas with bags of sand or some other damping material. This is a minor problem at worst.
  
  

• Great Product!

  I think that this product is outstanding for the price. The steel frame has a high quality high gloss finish, and the glass shelves are tinted and coated on the bottom side. On the back there are wire troughs provided to hide wires. The front feet of the stand are adjustable for leveling.
  
  Assembly went very well, as all parts were present, and mounting holes were accurate. The fasteners to assemble the stand require an Allen type wrench (supplied, but using it is painfully slow,) so I cut the end of the supplied Allen wrench off and installed it in my cordless screwdriver with a chuck to quickly install the bolts. Final tightening was done by hand with another wrench of the same size. This reduced the assembly time greatly. Assembly was quite easy. It took as long to unpack the stand as to assemble it. The stand was packed very well for shipping and arrived in perfect condition.
  
  When looking at the different Bush model stands, take note that there are a few different models that provide different lengths of the same type of stand to provide exactly what you need. Even though stands are rated for (up to) a certain size TV, they are not all the same length. I purchased this model of stand because I only had enough room for a 48" length stand for the location that I had available.
  
  I'm very impressed with the quality of this stand and ease of assembly, so gave it a 5 star rating. Amazon did an excellent job with shipping this item very quickly.
  
  
  
  

• Very nice unit

  Bought this unit in conjunction with the Samsung HLT6187SAX 61" 1080p DLP. The TV fits perfectly on it and looks very good. The unit is very sturdy and stable and was relatively easy to assemble. All in all, I am happy with the purchase.
  
  

• Caution!

  The description of this product is incorrect as it reads under Product Features. The width is listed there as 58", however, under Product Details it is listed as 47". The correct width is 47", Had to return this as it is not wide enough for the 61" TV that I bought. The build on this unit is substantial with steel support the entire perimeter of the glass shelves. The same unit is available in the wider width for a slightly higher price. I hope this will prevent someone else from doing what I did. The wider unit is available at, of all places, Best Buy for $199.00 as compared to the 279.00 at Amazon as of the date of this writing.
  
  

• Very nice

  Very nice product. I basically picked this because it was the least expensive stand I could find (that looked good) that would fit my new 52" Samsung. It was very easy to assemble and came with everything needed. You will need a second person to help with the glass because these pieces are a little heavy and akward shaped.
  
  I only checked weight and not dimensions when i purchased. The stand is 48" wide and my TV is 54" wide. No big deal as about 3 inches of TV extend on either side but it still looks great. My only complaint would be shipping. Of course I did the free shipping but still. I ordered on the 14th and had it at my door on the 27th. Well, i guess 2 weeks isnt actually that bad for free shipping on a 100lb item with Thanksgiving holiday in there. Ok, no complaints.

  This tv stand is definitely well worth the money. Once delivered, make sure you do some stretching prior to attempting to bring this into your home/apt b/c this package is HEAVY! It arrived securely packaged and with exactly the right # of pieces. Instructions were easy and well thought out. Altogether, i was able to put this together in about 45 minutes. The 3 shelves are made of glass and is tinted black. Be careful when handling these pieces as one can easily chip it or even break it. Overall, i'm satisfied with the ease of set up and the overall quality of this product. One final note, you will have ALOT of packaging material to discard afterwards...
  
  
• nice but overpriced
  By A2X55HFAWJ1AOD on 2008-02-01
  yes it's a good sturdy stand and nice looking but definitely not worth the $275 price tag just for 3 pieces of glass and some metal pieces. easy to put together.
  
  
• A very nice TV stand exactly what i wanted.
  By A3P2WGUW82Q6EC on 2008-03-29
  I have been looking all over for a TV stand, since I am going to buy a 46 inch LCD TV. Sadly after months of looking around, I didn't see anything that really caught my eye.
  
  Except one day I was looking through BJ's wholesalers, and they had this nice stand out, for only 199 dollars. Perfect! Looked incredible, and at a great price (alot lower than posted here).
  
  So I picked up the box, and literally almost fell over. This is one solid item. It has 3 dark frosted glass tops (3 level case), and they are VERY solid and heavy. The frame itself isn't too bad, its hollow coated metal, very nice looking but not heavy. The 3 thick glass pieces were the heavy part, and I mean about 100lbs heavy and difficult to move the large box around.
  
  Assembly is very easy, there aren't alot of parts. 3 glass tops, 2 rear supports, and 3-part ribs that support the glass. Took me about 1/2 hour to assemble it, and i was lazying around. When finished, it looked very nice.
  
  Large enough for even the largest flat screens (50-60 inches are good), and sturdy. My only problem is there isn't a center support for the glass pieces, they just sit on top of rubber/plastic guides. The center isn't supported at all. Thankfully you won't be putting much on them. The top piece of glass is doubly thick because thats where your big screen TV sits. Very thick, very heavy.
  
  Overall, a very nice buy for 200 bucks (a tad more it seems on this site). If the rest of Bush Furniture is this nice, I will have to pick up the matching side support tower unit and some other things to store DVD's in. The manual states that its made to hold 60 inch TV's weighing about 150 lbs on top shelf (or conventional TV's up to 250 lbs). It seems very sturdy enough to handle your loads.
  
  
• Great stand for 46" HDTV
  By A2PCXVM1ACUAU9 on 2008-04-27
  This stand is even easier to put together than advertised - one person can do it - and it looks very classy. It has plenty of room for all associated electronics.
  
  
• Quality!
  By A3IR834T7AROBT on 2008-05-05
  This TV base has a high quality build. The perimeter of the glass shelves are steel, the glass sits on dampers for a slight cushion which should prevent any vibration from a sound system. Wires and cables are hidden in the enclosed rear supports. Assembly was simple and no parts were missing! Like a previous review I too have a 61" Samsung TV, looks like they were made for each other. Originally I was going to buy the Samsung base but after reading the reviews, finding out that the glass shelves to not extend to the end of the base, I bought this one. Am really glad I spent the few extra dollars. I bought this at Best Buy for $299.00 which is considerably less than Amazons price as of the date of this review. Would recommend this product.
  
  
• Decent flat panel stand
  By A3OAXGN5WIYHZP on 2007-11-20
  Well what can I say...we bought this stand since it was silver/black and would go with our new TV and A/V Receiver. It seems to be solidly constructed, the only problem we had with putting it together was one of the holes that the "feet" are supposed to screw into wasn't drilled properly so we couldn't get the bolt in. After we worked on it for about 30 minutes, we ended up buying a metric bolt that was slightly smaller (a 7mm I think) that worked well enough to hold the foot on. The glass shelves are about 3/8" thick and seem solid. They are a very dark smoke color (almost black). I haven't wired everything up through the cable management rails in the back, but they seem functional (though it can be a little hard to get the end of the cable out of the hole, depending on the connector).
  
  
• Nice but a little overpriced
  By A14ZSI46W60NCW on 2008-02-08
  Takes just an hr to put together. Looks good. Cable guides are nice but a little annoying. Labels on parts a bit too hard to take off. Size holds 5 or 6 components with ease. The high gloss finish looks slick with a high gloss TV.
  
  
• Best buy
  By A1O3B6MOKYST9K on 2008-08-24
  Best buy now has these on sale 249.99 267.00 with tax I got 1 there VERY nice it is under my plasma that is wall mounted
  
  
• Should have been better
  By A1Q4EJDS04Z4MW on 2007-12-12
  Received it from amazon last week and finally got a chance to put it together early today. I couldn't get a screw with a black rubber thing on on one of the back panels (have tried both holes), either. And besides, it's 4 flat/lock washers short so I called Bush Furniture and they will send out the parts to me (4-5 days). Will see if they send the right parts and whether it will work this time.
  
  Over all, it's not a bad stand considering the price. Amazon has a much better price than BestBuy.
