Caution Regarding "Usable Depth",
August 18, 2009 Bob "Bob" (Cincinnati, OH) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Walker Edison 44 Inch Wood Corner TV Console (Kitchen)
After lengthy online search I decided NOT to purchase this Walker Edison 44" Castillo Brown Corner TV Console. It took me forever, but I finally found the shelf dimensions, which are not listed on Amazon.
Specifications:
Overall Dimensions: 44"W x 16"D x 24"H
Shelf Dimensions: 39" W x 12" D x 8" H
I read somewhere else that the cabinet usable depth (inside) is 12.75 inches. That's quite a bit smaller than the overall 16'' depth. Many home theater receivers are deeper than 12.75''. My Denon AVR1910 has a 14.75'' depth (as do others receivers like the similarly priced Onkyo).
Wow! I dodged a bullet. I'm glad I didn't order this, and put it together only to discover my components would not fit. I guess I could leave the doors off or try to open the back, but not sure that would work.
I'm just putting the usable depth info here because it took me a while to find.
Good luck. I still cannot find a corner cabinet...Read more

Not real wood, but good product for the price,

Thank you, Bob "Bob" for putting those dimensions up. It is rather shallow, so take that into consideration before buying. Unfortunately I didn't, only to find that my DVR player did not fit inside with the doors closed! Well, without cables I could close the doors, but with the cables plugged into the back, I needed a good 1/2 inch more. That sucked. Luckily I'm a little handy and drilled individual holes for each cable. An ordinary spade bit did the trick, and rather nicely. Now the DVR fits, though it wasn't easy plugging everything into it!
Also, a note on assembly. Because you're dealing with wood composite material, be careful, especially with the wood dowels. One of them actually came through the side when I was attaching the shelf to the side of the cabinet. (Luckily, I have some scrap walnut in the garage, so I intend to cover that up with a decorative "button.") True, I was using possibly too much force, but this leads me to think some of the holes for...Read more

This review is from: Walker Edison Cordoba TV Console, Brown (Kitchen)
I'm really happy with this product. It took only about an hour by myself to put together. Every piece was clearly marked and the instructions were correct. Even though it's not solid wood, it's well made materials and no cardboard back. All nice quality panels. Well thought out design. however be sure to check dimensions of your electronic equipment. I failed to check that so a few of my components wouldn't fit since it's a corner stand.
