Great piece

"This is a very nice piece that goes together very easily. Great directions for assembly. Excellent customer service. The only thing you need to watch is the depth of the components you intend on putting in it. Stereo components are very tight."

Great piece!

"We moved into a new house 2 months ago and I had been looking for a corner media consel for the upstairs living room that would fit the area. The upstairs is a bit more for formal compared to the informal living room down stairs. This corner piece worked perfectly and it's so chic and classy. I love it! The look and quality is fantastic! I would recommend this to anyone!"

Perfect for small rooms

"I love this piece. It fits well in my small living room, but has plenty of space for all my equipment and DVDs. It really looks high end and not 'assembled'. Although it was pretty easy to assemble, it is definitely a 2 person job."

Super

"I love the lines & quality of this piece. Fits a transitional or contemporary decor. Very easy to assemble, I did it alone! Previous reviews re: size of audio equipment could be a problem ie: my receiver did not fit, but I knew that going in. I have an alternative location, so I am okay. The cable box & DVD player fit fine. Finish and color are perfect! KUDOS C&B!"

Solid and beautiful

"This piece was such a great purchase! I was impressed with the quality of the piece. It was easy to assemble and makes all the difference in our living room, which now looks so much less full of tv clutter. Great purchase!"

Great Purchase

"As mentioned, this unit was easy to assemble, even for a novice, but two sets of hands helps at a few areas. Was concerned about interior space so I emailed Crate and Barrel and was sent the exact interior dimensions. Everything fit inside, including a new Bueray player. Blends well with any furniture style."

Great corner TV stand

"Overall, I am very happy and satisfied with my purchase of this corner TV stand. This is a solid piece of furniture and the craftmanship is beautiful. Also, very pleased with the high quality of materials that are used in the construction. I love how the sliding glass doors look as well.
I found the instructions to be very easy to follow and the assembly is relatively straightforward. I assembled it alone but it would definitely help to have 2 people.
The one downside is that there definitely needs to be more detailed interior dimensions listed on the webpage. My cable box barely fit due to the angle of the sides that significantly reduce available space."

What were they thinking?

"Wonderfully built but can't over come the fact that it's too small for standard stereo receivers. Because of the center support divider the width of any electronic piece you plan to put in may be too large. This is just a bit of a problem if you plan to have surround sound with your TV. I've searched and the only units that seem to fit are Sony. Not thrilled about that. What were they thinking???"

A great piece, but limited utility

"We just purchased the Farrow corner media console. The unit looks great in our unit and despite some other reviews I found the instructions to be easy to follow and the assembly relatively straight forward compared to other flat pack pieces I have purchased from other retailers. Having a power screwdriver will definitely make assembly much easier as will having an additional person to help you with some of the steps. The piece was well designed in that you would never know from seeing it that it is designed to be assembled at home.
The low rating is a result of our purchasing experience and the overall functionality of the piece, which was disappointing. The website schematic that shows dimensions is not accurate with regards to the interior space of this unit. It does not show that there is a partition in the middle of the unit that greatly diminishes what can actually be stored in the unit by making the unit extremely shallow for many electronic components. Our standard size dvr barely fits and our combo dvd player surround sound component did not fit at all so research this closely before buying this unit to make sure it will hold your components.
The issue is that doing good research is next to impossible since stores do not have this unit on display and you have to rely on the online information, but the dimensions are not accurate for real world use. Hopefully this information can be added to the website to help shoppers make better purchasing decisions."

It's fabulous!

"We are very happy and satisfied with this great buy. This is a solid piece of furniture and it's craftsmanship is beautiful. It's very classic, modern, contemporary, although this can go with any style. It's a timeless piece. The instructions were clear and the assembly was easy. All you need is a Phillips screw driver. The rest comes in the box. Unfortunately, we were missing only 1 washer. Hence, my rating of 4, but not a big deal. The money is worth it. You won't regret buying this media console!"

Great Corner TV Stand

"Very solid TV stand that is made with higher quality materials. Extremely solid piece of furniture. Instructions would be slightly complicated for someone who is not used to assembling furniture."

Great for TV

"This console is not only attractive, it is very functional. It fits neatly into the corner of our room, taking up a minimum of floor space. It easily accommodates our 47" TV and the interior houses and hides (yea!) all of the accessory pieces. Assembly was super easy (our 6 year old grandson helped)."

Stores all I need

"I love this console! it has enough room to store everything that I need, the adjustable shelves are easy to move around. Only down side is the assembly wasn't as easy as I thought. I've been able to assemble all other proucts pretty easily--although with this one I had some difficulty."

Transformed the Room

"This media console updated and changed the whole look of the room! A large TV fits perfectly, and the design is both functional and pretty. The directions for assembly were clear and easy to complete. Perfect furniture piece for a family room or media room corner."

Very Nice

"My husband and I purchased this media console for our family room TV - we love its modern look and it fits our DVD, Wii, Cable box, etc. perfectuly on the right side and we have DVD's stored on the left. We wanted a corner unit and were very excited that we found this nice looking item as there aren't as many choices for corner units."

Perfect Fit

"After looking for months for a corner cabinet & even soliciting estimates for a custom cabinet to fit into my awkward layout of a den, I came across this very well made beautiful cabinet! The only problem was I needed a Black cabinet, so for $ 75 I purchased a restoration kit and changed the color in one day. It was even easier due to the fact that it came unassembled. The assembly was quick & easy. The storage is perfectly sized for equipment, games etc."

perfect corner piece

"We looked all over for a corner unit to hold our TV, DVR, DVD and Wii systems. This is the perfect size and the wood/glass doors mean you dont really see the ugly elecontric componenets but your remote will be able to connect with them. Love this piece"

Beware--not much fits inside!

"I ordered this media cabinet because it matched my new living room furniture and also because it was a space-saving corner unit. I estimated the interior dimensions from the exterior measurements given on the website and felt confident that my media components would fit inside the cabinet. With the exception of the DirecTV box, nothing fits! The angled sides of the cabinet significantly reduce the interior space. Components can't be slid back far enough to allow closure of the sliding doors. There is a midline partition that runs top to bottom in the cabinet and prevents centering electronic components, which if possible would have provided space enough for two pieces of equipment. That divider creates 4 equal areas for media components. It is not adjustable from side to side. (The shelves adjust up or down.) My receiver doesn't come close to fitting in any of the 4 sections; neither does my DVD player. Newer receivers are about the same size as my current model, so buying a new one won't help. Blu-ray players are smaller than my old DVD player and would fit--but why should I have to buy new equipment to suit this cabinet? My choice is to either place my receiver on top of the cabinet, hardly ideal, or partially disassemble the cabinet to saw off the top half of the center divider, so that the receiver can have the top shelf to itself. Either way, I will have to replace the DVD player. Why bother owning a cabinet at all if media components can't be placed inside? Who designed this cabinet and felt it to be satisfactory? I'm sorry because this is a nice looking piece of furniture. I was able to assemble it alone, but it took several hours to do so. After all that work, it was a sad moment when I realized that the cabinet needed alteration and at least one media component needed replacing to make the cabinet functional. I am not happy. I am going to ask C&B to pick up the cabinet and replace it with something larger, or refund my money. If they won't, I suppose it's time to get out my saw and start hacking."
