Martin Svensson Home Coffee Plantation 65" TV Stand, Espresso

I often build my own furniture, and nothing really matches the quality of something handmade with high-quality materials. However, as I'll describe, I am quite happy with this. In full disclosure, I took a chance with an Amazon Warehouse item in Used Very Good condition, and I'm happy to say it was flawless, still in the original packaging. That also meant I couldn't build something for less than I paid for this. It is a knock-down, flat pack cabinet, but it goes together rather quickly. I laughed when I read 10 minutes with 2 people, yet I probably had it together in that time by myself. I did glue the wood dowels in the holes just because I was afraid it might be wobbly when finished, but I don't think that was necessary. Everything was included, and you may need a Philips head screwdriver if you choose to make the shelf brackets permanent. As many people have noted, it's not white, it's more of a French vanilla or antique white color, and I expected that, thanks to the many other comments. The finish was pristine, and the quality of the hardware met my standards. Most of the panels slide and lock into place, so if you ever wanted to take it apart to move, it would come apart easily. That said, once assembled, it seems solid even though most of the shelves just lay loose. Overall, I give this a 4-1/2 star rating. It's heavy, it's made well, it looks like a nice piece of furniture once assembled, it goes together easily, and there's really nothing I can complain about for ready-to-assemble furniture. My family loves it, and it looks great in our space. I can't speak for the longevity yet, but I suspect we'll use this for many years to come.

I was looking for a TV stand for weeks, and came across this. I liked how there are other matching pieces if you wanted to add i the future. It was super easy to assemble-my 12 year old helped! It is very sturdy and heavy. It looks great. The only complaint is, it is not white. It is more of a light gray color. It still matches my decor so it wasn't a big deal, but if you were wanting true white, this will not do.

I was nervous to order this online,but I am so glad that we did. We had been looking for a while for a new stand. It was pretty easy for my husband to assemble. It was missing some hardware, but after contacting the company, they did send the missing parts. That was a bit of a hassle, because it was partially assembled, and we had to wait for the remaining parts. However, I understand that accidents happen once in awhile. The quality is excellent. It is very sturdy and really nice looking too. The top is a smoky dark grey; almost borders on black. The white is a soft rich white, not a bright white. Arrived packaged well and in perfect condition. It looks very expensive, and we are so glad we purchased it!

Love how this turned out! It was so easy to put together.

I like to think I am fairly handy when it comes to putting things together -- this was easily the most frustrating thing I have ever put together. I was about to give up and I remembered reading the reviews and someone mentioning lubing the pieces together to help them slide into place. I tried that and helped a little but I ended up still unable to snap them all into place. I had to stand the thing half put together put some books under so it was sturdier on the parts where there aren't legs and I could bang it with a rubber mallet into place. I banged as hard as I could because I was so frustrated after a few hours of attempting that I was ready to try and ship that big ol' box back. Also note, that I could tell right away that the "female" parts of the snapping were put too far into the wood but they are super glued to the wood (I removed the screws to fix that first but you can't get them out.) Okay so that was the nightmare part of this, once you put it together it looks sharp. Hides the cables well and it doesn't feel cheap at all. Would I do it again? Probably, I think with what I learned I could cut the time from 4 hours to maybe 1? Just know that it will be frustrating even if you are handy!

I don't know where to start. I'm literally on the verge of tears. Not sure if it was the seller or Amazon but took almost 2 weeks to arrive. Was supposed to be 2 day shipping. As the reviews mentioned, boxes very very heavy so I had a hard time getting it into the house. I can't imagine someone being lucky enough to assemble in 10 minutes, this literally has taken me hours and I'm still not finished. I have assembled so many pieces of furniture even larger and heavier than this by myself. Many pieces do not align and it's very frustrating. Very very very frustrating! Sweating cussing hurt myself and can't say enough I will never buy anything from this company ever again. I am blown away. Things literally do not line up I use WD-40 I use a rubber mallet and things are still off. Very frustrating also I haven't worked since March so this was a lot of money for me. there is even a help phone number on the "manual" included and i called & they said someone would call me back, still waiting days later.Pretty darn frustrated cuz I've been waiting for this piece and thought it was so pretty. Such a disappointment.

Looks great. Took longer than advertised 10 minutes to assemble, but it is sturdy and looks really great. Very happy with purchase.

I needed to replace my living room furniture and was not able to find anything in my area furniture stores. I was a little nervous to purchase such a large piece online through Amazon. I am so pleased with the the large TV stand from Martin Svensson. I ordered the expresso color. It is very thick, good quality furniture. It was so easy to put together. It took less than an hour. The style is so unique. I have had nothing but compliments from my family and friends. The delivery through Amazon was so easy and the delivery staff from Amazon is the best!!! I liked the tv stand so much that I ordered 2 side tables and a coffee table. Thank you Martin Svensson for such wonderful furniture!!!
