Chastain 68 in. Freestanding Media Console Electric Fireplace TV Stand with Sliding Bar Door in Rustic Walnut

We really love our fireplace tv stand. It was fairly difficult to put together, 2 of us spent about 9 hours on this bad boy. The actual parts are heavier than the typical furniture we have put together and it seems durable. The directions for the very bottom of the piece get confusing but after much unscrewing and moving pieces we got it done. Our only complaint is the doors behind the sliding doors are crooked no matter how much we maneuvered the metal brackets and the doors. Besides that we absolutely love it! The fireplace looks so pretty and it can get nice and toasty by the fireplace. Overall I would 100% buy it again.

Product was of great quality. Be cautious when purchasing because couple parts were too big and they recommended just returning at 200+ item instead of sending 2 replacement parts.

For the price it was everything we were expecting and more. Very pleased.

Pretty sweet unit, it was missing all the nails for the back boards but I had some finishing nails on hand. Solid unit with a nice fireplace. I wish the flames were not so low though. That's something they could improve for a more realistic look. Otherwise we are happy with this product and would recommend it. Heater works well too, can't wait to use it this winter!

Everything is great. Went together pretty easily. Only thing is one of the handles did not fit properly. I had to stretch the hole to be able to screw it in and if you look closely there is a gap.

Home Decorators Collection 68" Freestanding Media Console Electric Fireplace TV Stand With Sliding Bar Door in Rustic Walnut Finish/Home Entertainment System is beautiful and well made but difficult to assemble. Some of the pre-drilled holes didn't line up correctly on the bottom frame. The instructions say 2 people should be able to assemble in 90 minutes. That is a stretch, as it took my son and I, who aren't novices, 3 1/2 hours to assemble. There are 58 steps to the assembly instructions, and there is a step by step instruction video available that you can open with a smart phone. We used that in conjunction with the written instructions and it was very helpful. The assembled bottom frame was an inch too long to line up with the units bottom floor piece, so we had to assemble with the left bottom side not being secured correctly. It still looks fine and doesn't seem compromised by that issue. (See Pic) Its very helpful to lay out all the parts and hardware packets in alphabetical order, as each is labeled with a letter or two. That will make it easier to follow the step by step instructions. Some reviews have said instructions are incorrect, but we didn't have an issue them, and found it useful to also use the video instructions. This unit features 2 center sliding barn style doors that conceal the fireplace. Above the fireplace is a roomy shelf that will accommodate DVD player, VCR, and cable boxes. There are two swing doors at either end of the unit with two adjustable shelves in each side that will accommodate DVD's, tapes, and any other audio-video components. There's ample storage for our needs. The top of the unit is a beautifully finished rustic walnut bead board the will accommodate up to an 80" TV, according to the carton label. However, a sticker on the fireplace glass states that it will accommodate up to a 75" TV, so that's a discrepancy. We are wall-mounting out TV above this unit so will use the top for a speaker bar. Once assembled, the unit is sturdy and very heavy. It has the appearance of fine furniture. The infrared fireplace unit functions beautifully and comes with a remote control. There are 6 different flame heights you can choose, as well as a temperature setting from 62 degrees to 82 degrees. There is a quiet blower, but it only has one speed. I believe it should have a variable speed blower. It's not that big of deal though, as you can barely hear the blower, so it will not interfere with the TV volume. The fireplace is energy efficient, so you can use it regularly without high electric costs. There is a back to the unit which I hadn't installed yet when I took the video. See pics and video below. If it weren't for the pre-drilled holes not aligning correctly, this unit would have received a five star rating.

This is a good looking unit with a great rustic quality with the sliding barn style doors covering the storage area on both sides of the console or the center firebox area when accessing the storage areas. It is called rustic walnut but appears darker in real life than in the photos.  These storage areas have an adjustable shelf to accommodate anything you want to store in these.  There is plenty of room to place your cable box and blue ray player in the media shelf that sits over the fireplace unit but don't worry, they are safe to have there even when using the fireplace.  This electric fireplace can heat up to 1000 square feet and has a great realistic flame effect for viewing on a cold night or any time since you get the option to use the heat or not.  There are controls on the box or you can use the included remote to control the heat and flame effects.  Yes this unit does require assembly and expect to take hours with two people to complete the assembly.  It comes with decent instructions but the Bilt ap made it easier to follow once I found the right app since the QR code did not work as expected.  Here's the link for the app on the apple store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/bilt/id879452214?mt=9

This is an AMAZING product. It’s extremely well built and should last for generations. There are some things that puzzled me at first - for instance ... There are a few mistakes in the installation section of the Use and Care Guide that you might want to correct before you begin. They start on Page 12, Step #11. The bag containing the bolts is labeled “V V” and pictorial shows the bolts as being Hardware Item “V V” but the written instructions read “Insert Bolts (W)” and the Hardware Inventory on Page 6 shows these bolts as Part W. So here’s the fix: On page 6, cross out W and insert V V. Then, go to Page 12, Step #11 and on the 2nd bullet item of the written instructions, change “Insert Bolts W ... ” to read “Insert Bolts V V … “ instead. Also, the instructions say that it should take 90 minutes but that’s possible. You actually need to allow for about 3 hours. You will need help along the way because it’s very heavy once it’s assembled. Lastly, on Page 21, Step #34 it says to insert a total of eight (8) screws labeled “RR” to secure the hinges to the cabinet doors. A word of caution about this … the door frames are hardwood and the heads of the screws cane easily snap off (as was the case with me). I would go slowly or pre-drill the screw holes more than what was done at the factory. Taking care not to drill through the face of the doors though. These items are actually small issues. Don’t let that influence your decision to purchase. I’ve only notated them to make is easier for you during the assembly. Again, it’s a GREAT product. Great design. Great Remote. Realistic Looking Flames. Heat up a room well.

A big, beautiful, heavy well made piece of furniture, but keep in mind.... assembly is required. The TV stand arrives in one big box that contains three smaller boxes. Each one somewhat heavy because the wood of the unit is thick and sturdy. The whole unit weighs in somewhere around 200 lbs. So the first step in the assembly process is to find a big area to work in, and unpack the two boxes that contain the TV stand itself and all the hardware. The fireplace insert box is fairly light and fragile and should be left boxed up until the end of assembly for protection. The assembly instructions are straightforward and easy to follow. There is a new BILT app you can download to your device and view the assembly instructions online, but I did not find the app very useful. I liked the paper instructions better. I am good at these type of things, and like to do these build jobs, and I have way over (3) three hours into the construction of this console. Make sure you have a good phillips screwdriver and know how to use it. I also used a battery operated screw gun set on the lowest torque setting and followed up with hand tightening. You will also need a helper from time to time because at the end of the process, the console gets heavy and you will need the extra set of hands to hold the side panels and such. The whole build process went perfect, with no missing or defective hardware. Everything fit perfectly with no scratches in the wood. All the screw holes and dowel holes were drilled perfectly. The fireplace insert looks so real and looks like real flame. Especially on the brightest, enhanced setting. I measured around 180 degrees F at the heater output with my meat thermometer, so this thing will warm up the room on a cold day. I do like the fact the two sliding doors cover the fireplace if you want to do so, like in the summertime when you are not using the fireplace, but that leads what I think is the TV stands only downfall. When the two sliding doors are open, and the fireplace is exposed, you can not open up the two side cabinets. Their doors are covered. You have to close the fireplace doors in order to open the side doors. Overall, another Home Depot Home Decorators Collection hit. I highly recommend if you like the rustic look and are good at putting furniture together.
