Walker Edison Saxon Mid Century Modern 2 Door Glass Shelf TV Stand for TVs up to 80 Inches, 70 Inch, Dark Walnut

Black Friday. Brand new 85” Samsung QLED. Now where to put it?Typically I don’t wall-mount TV’s. I guess after years of living in apartments I prefer not to drill into walls. I’ve always used stands. So I planned to do the same this time. The tricky part was to find a stand big enough to accommodate a TV this size (and weight). This was the biggest stand I could find (it’s listed as supporting 80” TV’s, 200+lbs) and I liked the simple yet elegant aesthetic with the nice wood grain.Assembly of furniture like this (TV stands, computer desks etc) is always tedious. Lots of pieces, plenty of screwing and Allen key twisting required. This was one of the easier units I’ve assembled. I did it mostly by myself; my wife tried to help with some steps but ended up getting in the way more than anything. It took about 2 hours total, including a couple of unrelated interruptions. There’s one step where you need some strength to really push in 8 screws while twisting. That was the hardest part. Everything else was pretty simple. There are lots of parts, but they come individually bagged and labeled with letters which makes it very easy to find the piece you need for each step. The manual was pretty easy to follow. If you’ve put together several pieces of similar furniture, and have strong hands & arms/shoulders (arms/shoulders for pushing down hard while screwing) you should be able to get it done in about 90 mins if fully focused or about an hour if you have an assistant.As mentioned previously, I purchased this unit in part because it was the biggest one I could find and can accommodate 200+ lbs. There’s a caveat here. My new TV’s built-in stand is one single piece that goes under the TV in the center. Since I planned on standing my TV directly on top of the stand instead of mounting it to the wall, guess what my issue was. All the weight of the TV lands in a small area right in the middle of the wooden TV stand. 100+ lbs of TV resting on the middle of a long wooden plank...it sagged down a bit in the middle. There is no support down the center of the stand, so it will sag if you place a very heavy object in the middle. Now it wasn’t THAT bad, ...maybe I could’ve left it like that, but I didn’t like the idea of my $3K brand new TV sagging down the middle of the stand. So I took it off the stand, and hired local TV mounting pros the next day. Great decision. They did a great job, and the TV and stand look great - no more sagging.The back of the stand also has nicely placed holes for cables towards the top instead of in the middle like other stands. This makes them pretty much invisible unless you sit down right in front of it. The cabinets are pretty roomy, as is the glass shelf middle compartment. For now I don’t have the need for any other media equipment so it’s pretty empty. Maybe a PS5 will look nice in there ;-)The unit is sturdy. It has 6 feet, including 2 in the middle for plenty of support. I layed across the top of the stand once I finished assembling it (I weigh 220lbs) and it felt solid.So I highly recommend this unit - just make sure if you plan on standing your TV on top of it instead of wall mounting, ensure that the TV’s stand splits the weight of the TV to each side instead of one stand in the middle to avoid the sagging issue.5 stars.

I just moved to a beautiful Craftsman building in a new city and the big indulgence that I wanted to give myself was to set up a real home theatre set up. I found a spectacular 75" Samsung 4K television......and then realized that I was going to need something to put it on. As I mentioned, my apartment is in a 1900 Craftsman building and a lot of my furniture is original Craftsman so I wanted something that wouldn't clash with my existing furniture and also would look good in the apartment itself. Another consideration is that this 75" TV is heavy, with a large glass screen and I needed a piece of furniture that I wouldn't be worried about in terms of holding up to the weight.Every review and the videos on the page all warned me that you needed more than one person to assemble this piece. Well, guess what: in the real world, sometimes you have to set up stuff on your own (my 21 lb Dachshund was an enthusiastic but useless helper). It took me about an hour to set it up. Yes, the size of the piece made it challenging to assemble on my own but it was doable. The instructions were clear and I have good tools.This console fit all the bills. It's smartly designed and strong, the legs at the base are matte black painted steel with a center foot and are securely mounted to the base of the cabinet. The two cabinets with doors are spacious and well designed, there is a central space that includes a tempered glass shelf (which I decided not to use and mounted LED display lights instead).It looks great in the room and when I'm watching a film, it disappears (which is what you want in a furniture component of a home theatre). I trust that it's strong enough to hold up my screen and it displays the art that lives in its center section beautifully.Very happy with this console and would happily recommend it to anyone who has similar needs/requirements!

I had read some of the negative reviews which mentioned receiving damaged pieces and was a little nervous that I might have a similar experience. As insurance, I used my phone to record the entire unpacking process to document any damage and show how everything was packed in case I needed to repack it for return. I needn't have worried. Everything in the box was in perfect condition.I had the package delivered into my garage and unpacked it there. As I unpacked it, I carried each piece from the garage to my bedroom where it was to be assembled. All were unblemished. I compared the parts present against the list in the instruction booklet and all pieces were present and accounted for. Just in case, the manufacturer includes a package of extra fasteners, etc. in case any were missing or defective. I didn't have to open that package as I had everything I needed.All in all the instructions were clear and pretty straightforward. The only time I had trouble orienting a part was the magnetic door stops — one of the first parts attached. Common sense told me I should mount them with the bare magnet pointing outward but, to me, the drawing in the instructions appeared to show it pointing inward. I decided to follow what I thought the directions were telling me to do — that was a mistake. When I mounted the doors (one of the last steps) it became clear the bare magnet needed to face outward, toward the door. It was pretty simple to switch its orientation.Almost everything is fastened together with Phillips-head screws of various sizes. I had some difficulty finding screwdrivers to fit — all except the very smallest Craftsman-type screwdriver I had was too large. I used a Phillips-head screwdriver from a set of precision (miniature) screwdrivers I use when working on my computer. I had to be very careful — I didn't strip any heads but I came close a couple of times. Particle board can be surprisingly hard to screw into. I had to be careful with the smaller screws to make sure they went in straight. They sometimes wanted to tip to one side or another.The holes for the shelf supports for the glass shelf were rather tight. I could put one in with my bare hands but the other three required some gentle tapping with a hammer. Not a big deal but I dread to think about removing them if I want the glass shelf at a different height.Full disclosure… I'm 74 years old and arthritic and don't have the stamina I once had. Working alone it took me a span of 2 days to complete the assembly of the cabinet. When my body told me we were done for the day I listened to it! Someone younger or with an assistant could do it much quicker — probably within a 2-3 hour period. If you read the directions carefully and take your time, you should be able to successfully assemble this cabinet.The results are worth it. It looks like a much more expensive piece of furniture than it is. It's sturdy and attractive and I expect to get years of service from it. It blends well with the "Danish Modern" bedroom furniture I've had for years.

edit: we have now owned this for a year and it has held up well. That being said, we are pretty calm people and never really bump into it and rarely open the doors.Original review:This TV stand works for us. Here is some vital info that I look for when I comb through reviews:- We have a 70” TV and the TV sits on the stand with a few inches to spare on the side (as shown in my pic). The large TV definitely makes the stand look smaller, which is understandable. I think it would look better if the stand was just a bit higher.- assembly wasn’t difficult, but it was kind of time consuming. I think it took my hubby a little over 3 hours. It would be really tricky to put this together on your own, especially when it comes to putting the doors on, as I has to hold the door just right while he screwed everything in together. I could see this being extremely frustrating to put together if you don’t have an extra set of hands to help with these small things.- ours came intact with no broken edges or sides. It was basically perfect except for a tiny scratch that is only noticeable if it’s pointed out.- we kept the back off the stand where the door that is closest to our outlet and internet modem goes. It was super easy to conceal everything behind the door and have all of that space to easily slide things behind the unit.- this thing is HEAVY when shipped! I had to wait until my hubby got home from work to move it in the house and it wasn’t light with both of us carrying it in!Overall, I like this. It looks good in our living room and looks more high quality than it is. The wood is definitely not as thick/high quality as it looks, so I’m interested to see how it will hold up in our house with two kids running around. We have only owned it a month and so far, so good!

So, I should start this by saying I have a lot of experience assembling bookcases, dressers, etc. from that big Swedish store. Although this box is quite heavy, I was able to drag it into my front door by myself, open it up, and assemble it completely on my own (I'm 5'0" tall and pretty petite). I first took each piece out of the box carefully and examined it for any scratches or marks. I found none. It traveled across the country via FedEx, so bravo to them. Each of the pieces is numbered with a removable sticker, and each screw item is packaged and had a letter sticker. The directions use the letters and numbers to guide you through assembly. Be careful to line up the pieces exactly as they are displayed in the pictures, and you won't have any trouble. We have our TV mounted to the wall, so this media stand is underneath it to hold gaming consoles, some decor, books, etc. It's lovely and adds a great mid-century flare to our living space. For those saying the doors hang unevenly, you can actually loosen and readjust the door screws and play with the hinges a bit to get the proper line up. I did this and I'm very pleased with their evenness and the overall look. Takes a few extra minutes, but it's worth it in the long run. I'm very happy with the purchase! Thank you!

I'll preface this by saying I am the world's least handy person. In the past, assemble-at-home furniture has driven me into a panic. So for people like me, fear not... this thing is actually pretty straightforward to assmemble. I won't say "easy" since it still took us about three hours, but the instructions were clearly laid out.A few small tips that may make assembly easier:1) When putting in the middle two vertical pieces (4 and 5), the size of the pre-drilled holes for the screws is different on the bottom (where you attach to the bottom horizontal support) and the top (where you attach to the top horizonal support)2) When putting in the vertical pieces, REALLY tighten the screws3) When attaching the doors, you insert the bottom hinge into the plastic hole (I think it's piece N), and then slide the door in (it's kind of worded that way but a little unclear).All in all, we're really happy with this piece. It looks great, has a ton of storage space, and is a good height for our 55'' TV.Happy shopping!

I purchased the slate grey stand and I love the color! It was not very hard to put together on my own but I am experienced with DIY so this was a cake walk compared to the flooring I just recently installed in the room that this stand will be located. The 70" model is very heavy so unless you are a heavy weight lifter you will need to help moving around. I also recommend assembling this in the room that it will be used in as it will be very difficult moving it around corners.Once assembled it feels sturdy although the legs don't sit evenly until the weight of a tv or objects on it so don't let that worry you.

I was very pleased with this buy. It is nice quality and came well-packed. It looks great and is very sturdy, which is what I needed. It was surprisingly easy to put together, but really takes two people because of the size. The only thing I don't like about this furniture - and they all have this - is that it requires a hex tool (aka allen wrench?). I finally bought an expensive screwdriver with an interchangeable bit that fit. Makes it much easier! Although all the parts were supplied, I appreciated that the company included a "spare parts" package in case a piece was missing.

This TV stand looks great and supports our 65” TV. Took a while to assemble because there are lots of parts and it’s fairly large, but assembly was straight forward.

Looks good, took about 2 and a half hours working on this alone. Everything went together pretty easily.. Except... For 2 holes were not big enough fr the metal screw things to fit in flush like the other 4.. So I just left them out and it worked out fine. Pretty straight forward if you follow the step by step 16 page instructions. Came in percect conditions extremely fast Shipping by UPS.

Love the style but it did come with a piece chipped out of the back.Because it was in the back I wasn't going through the hassle of returning it.

There is always the risk when ordering something online, it's going to look or feel way worse in person. This is not the case with this TV stand. The quality is there and the piece looks very sharp once assembled. Would recommend.

Fills the space in the room nicely. Lots of storage space. Happy with it. Overall feels sturdy. Easy to assemble. Doors secure close via magnets.Showed up with a big scratch right on the top panel, and one of the rear veneer pieces had a broken corner. Upset about that.There are cable access holes in all three sections, but only at the top. You will have to either make a new hole at the bottom for any devices on the bottom requiring cable access, or route the cable behind the shelves and up through the top holes.Note that I drilled an additional set of holes for the center glass shelf in order to move it up high enough for my audio equipment.TV in the photo is 49"Small parrot for scale.
