Beautiful piece
Date: 01/27/2010
The credenza is beautiful and just what i wanted. It looks terrific. I found the assembly instructions to be lacking. I have put together many such items in the past and these directions could be made a lot clearer. just marking the pieces clearly would go a long way to making it easier to assemble.. and you definitely need two people to handle lifting some of the parts. Other than this, I love it and plan on buying additional pieces.

Great buy for patient person w/o kids or wild dogs
Date: 01/06/2010
Looks sleek and fabulous. Assembly was a tricky but I managed without a hitch. You really do need two people to assemble it and preferably someone to vent to. The doors are pretty hard to get right but if you are careful with it you can get them going in their tracks. You have to leave the door open when you want to use a remote. I dont know if it scratches easily because I treat it like a baby!

Poor Quality
Date: 12/31/2009
I purchased this credenza and at first liked it. It looked good at first, but the quality has not held up-- the doors don't work right and fall off their tracks, and the enamel is chipped.

Beautiful!
Date: 12/01/2009
My husband and I just bought this as an early Christmas present to each other. We both love it. It's a beautiful, simple piece. We keep bar ware inside--it's big enough to hold all of it, including ice buckets, etc. My husband put the whole thing together in about an hour and said it was not too difficult. More important, the piece is very solid.

Awesome style
Date: 11/26/2009
Very easy to assemble, quite sturdy. Looks very nice in my modern interior. I was just sad that UPS smashed one of the boxes but CB2 did a great job by overnighting me replacement parts.
It seems to be easy to scratch due to the glossy finish. If you have children, this is probably not for you.

Sleek and Practical
Date: 11/23/2009
This is a great looking piece. I bought it to put my 32" flat screen on and to house my DVD player and cable box. It was really easy to put together and I didn't have any of the door issues that other reviewers mention. The slick, white gloss finish of it is very attractive and it's a really nice addition to my living room. The only disadvantage is that in order to use the remote for my components I have to have the door of the unit open... but when I am not watching TV, and the door is closed, it looks great.

looks great when built
Date: 11/03/2009
Installation was a breeze..and then I realized the middle vertical member was installed incorrectly. Not installers mistake but the holes with the pegs did not align properly. Afer removing all the pegs from the interior (central) vertical member was removed and some strength the top panel popped on. Looks great though, reflects light and looks stunning.

High End Look at a Reasonable Price
Date: 09/22/2009
I spent hours looking for the right credenza for my electronic equipment. The bulk of them were either too expensive or just badly designed. The halogen credenza was the perfect solution for me. I love the high gloss finish and the solid construction. It's a great way to store all of your technology.

Almost perfect
Date: 09/21/2009
I really liked the style and quality of the build. Except for the rails for the door was not level, therefore the gaps varied whether the door is closed for open.

Great Modern Looking Storage
Date: 09/15/2009
We just received and assembled this credenza- and we love it! It looks exactly as pictured in the catalog, shiny and sleek. We found it quite easy to assemble and set up with no problems. It accomplished exactly what we bought it for, to increase storage in our kitchen, but still look cool and modern. We also wanted something that could be used in other rooms if we ever move to a bigger house- and it would look great as media storage as well. Love this piece and so glad we bought it- even though we had reservations about not seeing it before purchase. Like I said, it is exactly what we were looking for. And I looked at everything!

great piece - pretty & useful!
Date: 09/06/2009
I have had this for 3 months; it is gorgeous. It cleans like a dream, and is a great pop in my living room (especially since it holds a tv, cable box, etc on top). What I love more is the storage. My kitchen is really small & the cabinets in the credenza hide extra glasswear and platters. Love it.

Great Storage / Entertainment Solution
Date: 04/20/2009
I was a little worried regarding the assembly of this piece after reading several of the reviews. I consider my self a beginner/novice handyman and can honestly say that the assembly wasn't too difficult. The instructions could have been slightly clearer but as long as you think each step through and do not rush, you will be fine overall. The quality of this credenza is amazing and worth every bit of effort. As always, the packaging for shipping CB2 offers is excellent and my credenza showed up flawless.

Taking our Turntable to another Level...
Date: 03/24/2009
This hip, modern cabinet was the perfect crescendo for our new home stereo system. We recently procured a sleek, red turntable to take our music to a whole new level. This cabinet exceeded our expectations from both a functional and aesthetic aspect. I'm not sure why users had difficulty with assembly? We had it built within 45 minutes.
My only word of warning...the depth of the cabinet was very tight for our receiver and required some jigsaw work on the back panel in order for the doors to close. Just be sure to measure the depth of your stereo equipment beforehand.
Aside from that...we are thrilled with our purchase!

In the mood for white!
Date: 03/20/2009
This credenza is one cool cat!
I fell in love with the streamlined approach and minimal look of this piece. It is sleek yet home-y when paired with a vintage mirror or a group of your favorite collected things. Assembly was easy and quick and the inside gives good storage space for all your electronic gadgets. Openings are provided for cables and the doors are easy sliders. Overall a fabulous, sturdy credenza for the white enthusiast.

Date: 03/19/2009
My husband and I have been searching for the perfect piece to store linens in the master bedroom. I have had my eye on the Halogen Credenza and ordered it after seeing it in Lobster at our neighbors. It fits perfectly in the space and looks like we spent twice as much as we did. The sliding doors make it easy to store and remove items. A great purchase and addition to the room!

Looks Expensive
Date: 03/19/2009
This credenza works anywhere. I've bought it for my Mom's apartment where a TV and stereo is placed on top and books on the shelvesbehind the sliding doors. At my office, we have two of the credenzas in our library, and this is where we place all of our "green" products. Everything looks neat and tidy, and it definitely looks more expensive than it costs.

Looks great, but be careful with the depth!
Date: 03/19/2009
This unit looks great - given the previous reviews, I paid someone to put it together, so I have no complaints there. But. . . I was planning to use this to house my stereo/home theater equipment. .. and while my receiver and subwoofer fit, my CD/DVD player doesn't! Be aware that the depth of the unit listed is larger than the "functional depth" given the sliding doors. I can't slide the door all the way shut with my Sony CD/DVD player in it.

Great white piece!
Date: 03/19/2009
I love this credenza! It is amazing what I can store in there - photo albums, notebooks, games and it looks very sleek and modern. Wears well. I admit I had a friend put it together so I can't comment on that. (:
Great, simple lines.
