ZINUS TV Stand with Shelf, 40 Inch, Red mahogany wood grain

I bought this to replace a smaller end table that housed my electronics. While it was sufficient, the closed back made changing connections or moving gear in and out really bothersome. In addition, I was expanding my system, adding an amplifier (actually a Fisher 500C valve receiver for now,) a DAC along with a turntable to be inserted relatively soon. So I needed more capacity and more utility.I looked at furniture that was purpose built as audio racks. While some would fit the bill at a reasonable cost, and at least one provided cable management facility, all were more expensive and most were too tall for my needs. I finally settled on the Zinus, a brand totally unknown to me. Most of the reviews were positive. One reviewer mentioned that the shelves were not high enough qualify for his tastes, so he had new shelves made. The shelves are not fine furniture grade, no one should expect them to be at this price. Personally I think they are fine given the price ($49USD at time of my purchase,) and if I ever feel the need for something better, it will be easy enough to have alternates made.I agree that the shelf colour is not really “espresso”; yes, it is quite reddish, like a reddish umber. It doesn’t exactly match my cabinets, but I’m not going for a spread in Architectural Digest, and to be honest I really like the colour.Assembly was very easy. While an Allen wrench is included to affix the bolts, I used a power screwdriver to make it easier to get proper torque. Altogether it took about 10 minutes. If I were to assemble another unit, it would take me five - easy peasy! I especially like the minimal modern styling, the clean lines.I haven’t finished the entire installation yet - I need to do a better job of dressing and hiding all the cables, the amp is on order, a phono preamp is needed, and the turntable will be restored before I’m all done. I’ve added a photo of the current, early stage installation. I would gladly buy another if the need were to arise. In a bigger room I could see adding another to serve as either a second equipment rack or a coffee table. Yeah, I’m pleased.

I could not be more pleased with this table. It arrived swiftly and was well-packaged, with no missing or damaged parts. It was easy to put together. It is functional, attractive and sturdy, especially for price! I would recommend this table without hesitation!

The table is fairly sturdy, for something this inexpensive. It was very easy to put together.. I think it took longer to rip the packaging on the hardware apart than it did to put together. The condition of the metal border is a little rough, with scratches and dents, but nothing too noticeable. The style is cute, but the "wood" is way more orange than I expected it to be. If you're hoping this will just blend in with the other more natural looking wood in your decor, you may want to try something else, or be prepared to spray paint this thing.

I bought this several weeks ago to use in my new apartment. I just put it together after completing my move to a new city. The stand was very easy to assemble, and the design illustration was more than adequate to convey what needed to be done. I like the panels and their color very much. The black metal framework is both sturdy and attractive. I bought this on sale. It was worth every penny.

Love the TV stand! It's super sturdy especially for the price. The bars are metal which is surprising for the price. I lined the shelves with white contact paper since the wood didn't match with my other furniture. Super easy to assemble!

It was very easy to assemble and appears sturdy. Looks nice from afar but unfortunately the top table arrived quite damaged. I'm wondering if it were a returned item. Several scratches on both the wood and the metal frame. Also, the wooden table itself was curved/bubbled upward and kept coming out of its frame (similar to the glass protection slipping out of a picture frame). I don't want to use glue to secure it. Hoping the TV on top will settle that upward curve over time though at least

Looks very aesthetically, pleasing as a TV stand. I have a 32 inch TV placed on top of it and it fits very nicely with enough room for me to place a PS5 right next to it from behind. The bottom port even has plenty of room for me to put my Nintendo switch and other accessories. It’s very stable and was very easy to build with the simple instructions and given materials in less than 15 minutes.

Last year I spent $359 + local 10% sales tax for a poorly designed table that was impossible to assemble without scraping the paint on the legs, without making big scratches on the wood-grain panels. This TV and media stand arrived today, about an hour ago and a day ahead of schedule. The box was easy to open without spilling the contents on the floor, and the contents were protected very well with cardboard and foam that fit precisely. In less than one hour I opened the carton and assembled the stand. My left forearm was•is in a brace [for wicked tendonitis] that restricts motion to little more than pinching; I am typing with one finger on one hand. But the instructions were easy to follow, the assembly intuitive, and the frame can be assembled without•before the heavy drop-in panels. Great design! And it looks quite handsome next to some pricey Dania "campaign style" furniture. My wife is impressed. Very well impressed. After the holidays, I will search Amazon for some bookshelves in the same style, from the same thoughtful manufacturer. Great show, Zinus.
