DOLILOMedia Storage Cabinet (Black)

I was hoping for a good unit since the pictures look great and I have an old stereo system than needs some upkeep. First, packaging was basically a bunch of wood pieces with two large pieces of glass. Very heavy to get into my condo. Once I started assembling, i found the instructions to be TERRIBLE!! This was the worst part. Wood block 5 and 6 should be assembled together and then brought back in with the rest of the unit. As some other reviewers have said, the wood pieces are very heavy, and if you start to rotate the assembly, some of the hinges can come off and damage the joints. I have assembled a lot of furniture, and even with care, I damaged two of the many openings than need to be snugly fit in order to assemble the cabinet. They could at least said 4F and 4B for front and back for example since by looking at the pictures, it is not easy to tell where the hole hinges should face (front or back). VERY VERY disappointed even though I got it to work mostly. Better instructions for future users please. Also, pieces 3 and 5 can be connected together and just have a hole to get the electronics cable to the back. Poor designs all around.

We downsized from a large wall entertainment center that was taking up a lot of space plus didn't allow us to expand our TV size. So along with a TV stand, we got this to put our stereo system in and it worked great. Had room to put the turntable in the top shelf and the other components below it

Like pretty much anything made in China, the instructions stink. The pictures of the steps are reproduced in poor quality. That said, the shelf materials are decent quality for the price. It's "manufactured wood" so be careful with assembly. One could potentially screw it up during assembly.

I have put together a lot cabinetry before and some were good and some were bad. In my opinion this one is bad. A couple of pluses. Packing was good. Nothing damaged. No missing parts.Cons. Instructions are the worst I have ever seen. Parts were label incorrectly which caused a delay. Wood is pretty junky. Example: put a turntable on top and it buckled. Lots of scratches on surface. And here is a real pain in the ass. Not all of the screw holes were drilled. You almost have to be double jointed to fix this issue. While glass doors are nice they are difficult to install. I would pre thread the holes before trying to install them. I'll admit unit is low cost but I feel it is not worth the money charged. Save up and get something better. Just one man's opinion.

Directions arent written well and missing steps. Extra parts that have no place in the cabinet (i.e., screws). Cabinet is made of mdf and falls apart easily. Cabinet side/top fell apart. Have to fix before I can place stereo in it.

the doors keep my cats off of the sterio equipment

The cabinet is exactly what I expected based on the images. The instructions are lacking detail so you will have to rely on the images, some of which are small and difficult to figure out without really looking at them. Once the cabinet was together I placed the components inside and hooked everything up. Running a PS5 without the doors of the cabinet open causes the console's fan to run nonstop because although there is a long vertical opening in the back of the cabinet for running wires through, very little heat escapes. Now if you run a PS5, an A/V head unit, or any other device that puts off heat, the glass gets almost hot to the touch if the doors are closed.Thinking about adding a couple of whisper fans to the vertical opening for the wiring and seeing if that helps to cool the cabinet. Kind of defeats the purpose of having doors if you have to have them open in order to use the electronics inside of the cabinet.

I needed something temporarily to store my HiFi system and thought this would be a great choice - yes and and no. Yes it does the job, has adequate space and wide enough even for pro units with rack ears (a bit too wide actually) but unfortunately the unit falls short when assembled. It is very flimsy and would not stay even at the slightest move. It wobbles easily especially when I'm cleaning it. The glass doors don't really lined up correctly where the magnet is and the rear covers has uneven gaps and light can easily shone through. For what it is it has held up so far as long as I don't move it around.Another note: the seller was quick to response and offered a full refund but I refused. I understand everyone has to make money and I'm no freebie. I agreed to pay them for their time and effort and of course the high cost of shipping, and what I thought was worth - which is $40. Again, in this difficult time we do not need to stoop low and expect to get things for free at others' expense. If you do not like this nor agree, simply return it and get the refund.
