Beautiful piece of furniture

"We received this media console last week and couldn't be happier. We had looked for what feels like forever and could never find anything we liked. This was probably over double what we had originally wanted to spend and we did have some nervousness over spending so much on something we couldn't see in person, but like I said, we are very happy with it.
We were able to easily mount the piece to the wall with the provided mounting hardware. It's a great height for us as our 11 month old can stand up against it and can't reach the TV anymore. And it's so big I actually don't know what all we will put in it to fill it. Our three year old does have ideas about storing her toys in it, though.
Our only issue was that by the time we were contacted for delivery, we ended up not receiving the unit until almost a month exactly after we ordered. This was surprising but not too big of a deal for us. We love the furniture enough that it was worth the wait!"

Beautiful wood

"I spent a long time looking for the perfect media console. I needed something long enough to work with our large wall mounted tv, with lots of storage. This accomodates our large receiver, and all other items perfectly. There are plenty of holes in the back for all the wires. The wood is absolutely beautiful! And the piece is well made. I also like that we can switch out the doors if desired for a different look. It was a bit more than I originally wanted to spend, but it was well worth it for such a nice piece."

Great media console

"We've had this item for about two months. Overall, we're really happy with the style, look and quality.
We had one minor problem with a missing foot peg, but C&B customer service quickly shipped a replacement piece with no hassle."

Really Nice Piece

"I love this for our entertainment unit. I wanted something that wasn't too fussy and would fit the space in our living room without overwhelming it. I love the storage space, including the shelves in the middle for the electronics."

So excited to find this!

"We have searched and searched for a quality built entertainment unit that was classic in design and would coordinate in our eclectic room. So excited to find this at Crate and Barrel!"

Love the look!

"I was looking for a media center that was not too dark but not too light either--this was the perfect solution! Size of this piece was also great. We have it under a 55 inch tv that is hanging on the wall and it looks great. I looked at a lot of media centers before settling on this one. I do think the price is a little high for this compared to others we looked at but I kept coming back to this one and decided to go with it. I did view the piece in the store but was very hesitant to buy it because the contruction did not seem to be as sturdy as I would have expected for the price and for a Crate and Barrel piece. The associate assured me that the floor model had just taken a beating and the piece I received would be better. After reading all the wonderful reviews I hesitantly purchased it. I am happy with my purchase and the salesperson was correct, my piece did seem much better than the one at the store however I do agree with the other reviewer about parts of it being rough to the touch and seems like it wasn't sanded properly. I did love the swapable doors since I have young children. I've decided to use the wood doors until they are older so I don't have fingerprints on them. Overall I'm very happy with my purchase."

Very Happy with Purchase

"I was a bit hesitant to buy over the internet, but was comfortable Crate and Barrel sold quality products so we dove in as we like the pictures and talked with the customer service people.
C&B was extremely efficient in organizing the shipping and delivery. The people were professional all along the way and very helpful.
The unit is a little darker than I was hoping for, but we love it. It's quality construction and is already in place and looks wonderful.
The customer service at C&B was excellent on all parties who were part of the process."

No Regrets

"I was very hesitant to buy this media console due to the price. But after searching for a long time I wasn't able to find another one that was as classic and well-made.
It looks beautiful in my living room and I get a lot of compliments on it. I know that it's a piece that I will keep for a very long time.

Gorgeous!

"We shopped everywhere, both in person, and online for a longer media stand that was a nice, easy-to-view height for the placement in our room. We also wanted open shelving for the receivers and glass cabinet doors. This media stand has all that, plus beautiful wood. When it was delivered, we could even smell the high quality wood! It's absolutely beautiful and we're thrilled with the purchase! Plus, Crate and Barrel staff are always 100% helpful and courteous."

Beautiful and practical

"We bought this media cabinet after looking everywhere for one. It was a bit more than we wanted to spend. But after going everywhere to find one and weeks of shopping, we decided to get the one we really wanted - we deserve it! What is so great about this cabinet is that it has a matte finish, not shiny wood. It is a nice dark brown that shows the grain of the wood. It holds a lot of stuff too. We didn't like the handles so we swapped them out with something else - no problem. I'm told it is manufactured in Wisconsin."

Beautiful wood, solid construction

"The walnut wood is beautiful and the construction is remarkably solid. It's also a nice touch that they include the glass as well as the wooden door inserts for the media center so you don't have to decide right away. I'm going to go back and buy the matching book case since I like this piece so much."

beautiful media cabinet

"We just purchased this piece during the 15% off media sale. I love it. I was stuck bw the kavari and this piece but felt the ainsworth fit our space/purpose better. The wood is beautiful and i love the finish. There is ton of storage but it's well proportioned so it fits well in our small living area in the city. I think it's just the right height for tv viewing from the couch - anything higher and you have to start to look up. The holes in the back of the unit make it easy to hide wires and the adjustable shelves are perfect. I love the glass cabinets but like the fact that it comes with wood panels. The cabinet doors give just the right amount of give so that my 1 year old can't just yank the doors open. I also like the medium color of the wood - not too dark which a lot of our furniture is but still has a richness about it."

very pretty, construction could be better

"Lovely piece in the walnut finish, great practical size. Love the swappable wood/glass door inserts. However, I do feel that for the price, construction could be a little better. Some of the door frames weren't properly sanded (rough to the touch) and the tolerance on door sizes is pretty loose. Great statement piece, though, I just wouldn't finish off the collection because it's not really worth that much."

Absolutely Beautiful Piece of Furniture

"The Ainsworth walnut media console is EXACTLY what I was looking for. The wood is absolutely gorgeous and has such a unique low-sheen finish to it. Walnut is a relatively unique wood species, and this solid walnut piece makes such a statement in my home!
The size of the console is perfect for a large television without feeling too bulky. Crate & Barrel delivery service was excellent too!
All in all I am thrilled with my purchase. Hubby already wants to buy the rest of the ainsworth pieces because we are so in love with the media console!"

Just what I'd been looking for

"The piece is mostly solid walnut, well proportioned, American made, and is a very good value. Had been looking for 18 months for a high quality piece of actual furniture for my 50" plasma and multiple A/V components. Many choices out there but most are not quite real furniture. Ended up building a temp console to fit all my components while I searched. Saw this one, looked promising, went to local C&B store and really liked style, scale and detailing. Amazingly, it had exact dimensions of what I had built. The walnut is a welcome change from cherry or espresso. It has a pronounced grain- the piece I got is all well-matched- and walnut tends to a very slight gray undertone rather than a pure woody brown. Did not like the cherry sample I saw in store- bland and opaque. Shelf bays are wide enough for all my HT components- center bay is 18". My plasma weighs about 100 lbs and is on top of console presently- no sag after 8 weeks though am considering adding blocking to the floor. I installed gliders to bottom of all legs so I can slide the case and get to the back for cable changes. Am using the glass panels in the doors (wood ones also included), may have a local shop make up smoked or grey glass for them as a good enhancement."
