Ameriwood Home Southlander TV Stand

I'd like to start by saying my expectations were low. This still managed to disappoint me. If I hadn't spent the absolute least amount of money I could for a piece of furniture going into a rowdy 3 year old's room, I'd be angry. When I got home to find the box on my porch, I knew I was in for a ride. The box looked like it had been dragged all the way to Missouri from Cambodia. Considering the US distributor is in my metro area, I am going to assume it looked like this when it left their warehouse. There wasn't a single piece of this that wasn't beat up in some way when I took it out of the box. The packaging materials were smashed to oblivion. The MDF it's made out of is butter soft and fractured when driving in any kind of screw. The screws that hold on the thin strip of un-wood in the front were too short, and I had to scrounge for replacements. The screw holes for the door hinges were in the wrong place, but I was able to drill new holes with ease using my fingernail. I am pretty sure all the horizontal support is provided by the cardboard tack-on back. I will say the instructions were quite good. Now that it's put together, if I stand on the other side of the room, with my glasses off, it looks ok.
