Amazing piece for the price
I purchased this piece as a stand for my new Teac LP-R400. (Another amazing item.) I was looking for the smallest piece that could hold the Teac and some records, plus a place to put vinyl record cleaners, etc.

Quality: The finish is even and the materials are sturdy enough for all that I want. This is not a flimsy item.

Assembly: I was concerned with a review on one of the other Crosley cabinets that it was very difficult to assemble and definitely required two people. I don't know how they were assembling it, but if one follows the directions one person can easily put it together in under 1/2 hour. It DID take me a while to figure out that the nut locks were already IN the pieces as I was looking for them in a bag.

Finished look: This is sitting next to my old fashioned stereo cabinet that I can't bear to replace and also my baby grand piano. Both of those items are beautifully finished and this piece fits in just fine (although somewhat...

Perhaps a bit overpriced
This piece is made almost entirely of pressboard. Visible exterior surfaces are wood grain veneer stained a deep red, but the grain is not that of cherry wood. Interior shelf tops and other interior surfaces are simply stained and varnished pressboard, but their finish is not too bad. The piece is held together with cam bolts/locks, which seem to be pretty standard for inexpensive, ready-to-assemble furniture. Assembly is straightforward, but rather difficult due to the possibility of the cam bolts breaking through the veneer on the other side of the board if screwed in too far. You cannot "feel" when they are all the way in, because the resistance to turning does not change. On the first bolt I almost broke through the veneer of the tabletop, stopping only when I heard a cracking sound and felt a bulge on the other side of the board. On subsequent bolts I was more careful, but this meant that the cam locks would not pull the pieces together tightly, and then some trial and error was...
Great Purchase
PROS: I couldn't be more pleased with this purchase. Assembly is simple and the finished product is very sturdy. I own the matching Crosley CR72 record player and set it on top of this cabinet without any worries. I've read reviews that claim this product is flimsy but that isn't right at all. As long as it's properly put together it can hold just about anything. I also went with the free shipping and much to my surprise it was at my door not only in less than a week but also on a Saturday!

CON: I was instantly disappointed when I saw the box they chose to ship it in busting open under the weight. Even the delivery guy couldn't stop commenting on what a bad shipment job it was. Actually his exact words were "the worst box I've seen". Oddly enough when I opened it there was another box inside and it was completely untouched. Why they chose to place the sturdy box in a gawky paper thin one I'll never know. Had I not lucked out and got an extra cautious delivery guy it...
