Item arrived with flimsy packaging considering the fragile glass included. The front trim piece had a few small scratches and defects/rough edges in the black powder coat finish. The top glass had a 3 inch chip defect of the right front corner that had clearly been “buffed” at the factory rather than discarding it as “defective”. The middle glass had scratches on the under surface black finish due to the 3 glasses sliding in transit. This is due to insufficient packing between the fragile glass pieces.
No problem getting a replacement unit sent out, other than back order delay.
The replacement unit also had scratches on the front trim but the powder coat was okay, and there were no glass flaws, so I “touched up” the finish flaws and assembled the new stand.
None of the reviews to this point have suggested a QC problem by the manufacturer. I believe the back orders caused a rush in production, or the manufacturer is using a new plant which has QC issues. No matter, because although the stand looks good and does its job, I can’t recommend it unless you have plenty of patience and have no alternate choices.
We found this on Amazon for about 2/3rds of the cost at a local big box electronics store. It had free shipping and was delivered quickly and in good condition. It set up easily and is good looking and sturdy. No complaints.
I got this stand a month ago, easy to assemble and looks great. It came in perfect condition, no complaints so far.
