kavari media tower

"Just had wood floor installed in living room looking for media cabinet and entryway cabinet. Found exactly what I wanted in a dark wood solid rustic furniture. Was happy that I could buy the tower and make sure that the color is what I wanted. Very Happy with the quality!!"

Great Bar Cabinet

"I'm using this as a small bar cabinet and it is functional for that. It holds my special wine glasses, bottles of liquor, bar wear, etc. The finish is accurately pictured on line, As mentioned in other reviews, there are no cut-outs for cords, so if you want to use this as a media tower you'll need to make your own. For my purpose, none were needed. The look of this cabinet is rustic but it looks good with my Transitional decor."

Beautiful, but not without flaws

"I am thrilled with this purchase, but the media tower design does have flaws expecially if you plan to house media equipment in the tower. They really are more of a bookcase than a media tower. I read all of the previous reviews so I knew what I was getting into when I made the purchase. I ordered two to flank my Kavari Media Console and it looks beautiful! I plan to put DVDs and video games on the side that opens away from the console and on the other side I am going to store less used items like picture albums. The make great bookcases and the sale price can't be beat!"

Not for DVR Components

"Quality is A+, love this product and wish it worked out for me. However, the description states that the shelf depth is 14.25 inches, but that is not the shelf depth; that includes the crown molding at the top! The true shelf depth is maybe 12.25 inches and that was much too small to hold my dvr and receiver as planned. I had planned on cutting my own holes for cords, but since the shelf depth is too small, as much as I love this product, I have to return it. Classic design, but it would look good in current decor as well."

Pretty media tower

"We have this paired with the Kavari 72" media cabinet and they look great together (one media tower on either side of the cabinet). We purchased these on on sale, and the price couldn't be beat. The tower is tall and wide but not very deep - about room for 2 rows of DVDs or blu rays from back to front. There is 1 fixed shelf (it's removable but you can't adjust the position), and the cabinets are well made. Overall I recommend this item."

Great piece, solid wood. Bookshelf, not media

"We got this piece and it is fantastic. Solid wood, looks great, and a steal at the sale price! Note that, as 1 reviewer pointed out, that this is more bookcase/bookshelf than media tower....though you could drill small holes in the back and run the cables through.
We mounted our TV above the fireplace and used this Kavari MT to fill the space next to the fireplace where the TV was before it was mounted. Fits the bill perfectly and this piece definitely upscales the room. We put the cable box on top of the bookcase, and the room really looks put together now.
Highly recommend."

Not the best design but still beautiful

"The construction of these towers is top notch. The wood and color are gorgeous. They look great along side the media console. However, my biggest complaint with this piece is, if you buy two towers, one for each side, the cabinet doors open from the same side and there is no way to switch them. I think this is silly since the door on the left side when opened hits the console. Bad design here. Other than that, I am happy with the look."

NOT a media tower

"This thing has no cable cutouts! Buyer beware, this is NOT a media/gaming tower by todays standards. I bought it to store my cable box, DVD, XBOX, router, but it's pretty useless to me unless I make my own cutouts. Crate and Barrel needs to update the item description, it is quite misleading.
That being said, it is well made and I like the quality of the wood. what a bummer."
