AMERLIFE Fireplace TV Stand With Barn Door

I didn’t like that the product came in two separate packages but had the same tracking number so I didn’t know when the second one was going to be there and I had to reach out to the seller. Otherwise, everything works perfectly and it just takes some time to put together.

We have a 65” tv and I absolutely love this. It took my husband and I an hour to put together so easy. I’ve been searching for one for about a month to find a perfect One. I love the X on the doors (not to many I see, I mainly see a lot of arrow and other shapes. But the X I feel gives it a farmhouse look) also how it has so many things to protect the bottom wood. Like 2 legs in the back for support, the plastic thumbtacks to prevent scratching the floor or wood.

The main box is very heavy, definitely recommend two people to carry. Love that both parcels came at the same time and very fast shipping! The build was very easy and the instructions were detailed enough. Only took about an hour to put together (2 people working together) which I was really surprised based on the amount of piece. I would definitely recommend this product!

Over all it’s a pretty good addition to your living room. Beware though, It looks heavier than it really is. The joints are not strong so it is not a piece of furniture to be moved often or carelessly, despite it looking strong. In additions, the sliding door screw slots are misaligned for where the screws go and the screw tops are way to tall for the small space they are used for. The left door works okay, despite this problem but the right one has made several scratches on the inner wood it slides against. We didn’t understand or know what was causing the door to drag, hang up or come off the railings until we noticed the screws and by then, we saw the scratches but it was too late.

Luckily it is in a low area and I’m planning to buy a metal file to file down the screw heads and something to color in the scratches which by now, messing with the screws, are 3 parallel scratch lines (normally would be 2 but 3 came from us trying to adjust the screw and the slot brace). The more the doors slide as best as it can past it, the deeper and stronger the scratches on the inner wood become. Also, the color is not at all true to the image represented here. Another issue, I purchased the Barn Wood color and it looks like a warm, walnut like brown in the advertised image with the barnwood style of a black wash to give it that work, used, casual look but instead it is a very dull, ashy, kind of greyish bland wood with the black wash over it. You can see the contrast in the last pic between a my rich walnut end table with the lamp on it, also end of coffee table, compared to the entertainment center. I am sad because it does not go with my other walnut furniture.

We’ve already got it put together and these types of farm furniture with a mock fireplace seem next to impossible to find lately so I’m going to keep it. As a note of warning, be careful when selecting this entertainment center and all pieces of furniture in genereal and matching it to other pieces of furniture in your living room. On top of this, to my disappointment, I do love the idea of the fireplace but it’s rather dull in it’s lighting and is pretty small. I really hoped for a lot more light and room ambiance but it really give out very little, even with all the lights off. We already have a terribly small living room and for me to say the fireplace is small and the lighting from it is so very minimal, that is saying a lot. When the mock fireplace is turned on, it is still makes you feel warm and snugly, perfect for the Autumn and Winter seasons. UPDATE: Later on, after making this post, I ended up buying the matching coffee and end tables to match instead of trying to restain this entertainment center.
