Cons

• Products sometimes arrive damaged – Most of the negative reviews for the Lorraine TV Stand are attributed to some parts arriving damaged. But in comparing all the reviews, both positive and negative, the TV stand typically arrives in good shape.

• Shelves can’t hold large equipment – Some may find the shelf space limited. It is fine for basic electronics but will not fit things like large stereo equipment.

• Safety sticker leaves residue when peeled off– There’s a safety warning sticker on the back of the Lorraine TV Stand that sometimes leaves a sticky residue when peeled off. A trick to removing the residue is applying vegetable oil, letting it sit for a few minutes, then carefully scraping off the residue.

• The shipping box is extremely heavy to handle – The Lorraine TV Stand arrives in a very long, bulky, and heavy package that will likely require two people to move, and possibly a dolly if moving upstairs.

Price Score: 5 / 5 pts

(2) Size

The Lorraine TV Stand, weighing just about 100 lbs (listed as 99 lbs on Wayfair), has some pretty good size and a presence to it.

Here are the dimensions of the Lorraine TV Stand:

• Overall: 54” W x 32” H x 15.5” D

• Shelf: 7.7” H x 22.1” W x 13.08” D

• Cabinet Interior: 15.5” D

Its base is 15.5″ L x 54″ W which stacks up well with other stands, but it’s not in the way and doesn’t take up too much space.

The height of this stand is set at 32″ which is sneaky tall. Most people are pleasantly surprised at how tall it actually is.

One Wayfair customer wrote…

I love how its tall and sturdy. Size was perfect for us, I was very pleased ordered one for bedroom and living room.

Wayfair customer

Advantages

For parents with young toddlers and/or pets, then the height is a big win. Your toddler can’t reach the top of the tall farmhouse entertainment center, and your dog won’t be able to knock anything over from its perch on top.

Additionally, for homes with tall walls, this is a great way to fill those empty spaces.

Potential Drawback

The TV height will likely be higher than before, maybe higher than expected, so it might take some getting used to.

Tip Regarding The Size:

Make sure to use a tape measure to get an idea of how tall/wide/deep the TV stand will look against the wall in the room it will be placed in.

That way you aren’t over or underwhelmed by the size of the TV stand. It is important to look at all the finer details before purchasing furniture, and you should never buy furniture solely from photos seen on a website.

Overall, the size of the TV stand is ideal from an entertainment perspective and for display purposes.

Size Score: 5 / 5 pts

(3) Sturdiness

The Lorraine TV Stand, with a wide base and weighing 99 lbs, is pretty sturdy and stable.

The weight of the TV is important because if it’s too light, then it may not be safe to house a large flatscreen TV.

As long as it’s assembled properly, it should not wobble or shake, even with a 60 inch TV (or larger) mounted on it.

There are some reviews found on the internet with people reporting that the TV stand is wobbly after assembly is complete.

But having assembled this TV stand a number of times, the wobbliness can be attributed to the bottom 8 screws that secure the base not being fully tightened.

In the assembly video found below, you can see these 8 bottom screws being attached at the 01:00 minute mark.

Tip to Ensure Sturdiness:

• Use a power drill on the lowest setting to tighten the 8 screws at the base of the TV stand in order to secure the console and eliminate any wobbliness.

• If you don’t have a power drill, or you’re not comfortable using one, then you must be extremely intentional in firmly tightening the 8 base screws.

Additionally, the metal rail for the sliding doors seemed rugged enough to be used on a daily basis without having to worry about it loosening, or worse, falling off. And this wasn’t mentioned in any of the reviews.

Sturdiness Score: 5 / 5 pts

(4) Materials

The Lorraine TV Stand is made of manufactured wood. The type of manufactured wood isn’t explicitly

Manufactured wood is used in a lot of furniture items because it’s less expensive than natural wood. It’s cheap to produce and lightweight compared to other materials, such as solid wood.

Benefits of Manufactured Wood

• Some of the benefits of using this type of product are that it doesn’t require a lot of maintenance like real wood does and is more affordable in price for consumers since furniture manufacturers don’t have to purchase raw timber from lumberyards.

• Manufacturers can make manufactured wood like real wood. Laminates or veneers that resemble real wood can easily be attached to manufactured wood. This allows manufacturers to offer the same piece of furniture in a multitude of colors, like the Lorraine TV Stand

Drawbacks of Manufactured Wood

• Manufactured wood does not offer the same quality as solid wood because it is not made from natural materials. Manufactured wood can also warp or bend over time which can cause the piece of furniture to break or not fit together correctly.

• While the TV stand is structurally sound, it can be damaged or chipped easily if not handled carefully. If it sits in the path of lots of foot traffic then there’s potential for someone to bump into it with a hard item and cause damage.

• It’s also susceptible to liquid damage. Manufactured wood can soak up liquid rather quickly so you will need to avoid liquid spills at all cost to avoid the surface from swelling or “bubbling up”.

Overall this TV stand is a quality piece of furniture, and because the material is versatile, it can be (is) made in a wide variety of color combinations.

(5) Features

The Lorraine TV Stand has lots of noteworthy features that make the unit both stylish and functional. These top features are:

Feature #1: Sliding Barn Doors

This farmhouse TV stand features sliding barn doors that provide an eye-catching, rustic feel.

This sliding door TV stand hoists the barn doors on a set of dark-colored metal rails that provide a nice accent to each of the color variations.

On the bottom of each barn door is a locking tab attached that slides within the bottom track.

Feature #2: Five Color Variations

The Lorraine TV Stand comes in 5 different color variations, all of which are equally exquisite. In this review you can see photos of the espresso barn door tv stand that we assembled.

The color options are:

• Sargent Oak/White

• Espresso

• Ashland Pine

• Dark Gray/Brown

• Cream/Espresso

The TV stand color variations can complement many different decor styles and tastes so you can find the one the best matches your space.

Feature #3: Adjustable Shelves

This TV stand with shelves includes 6 adjustable shelves that can be reconfigured to fit your needs. The shelves can be accessed by gliding the barn doors inward or outward

Feature #4: Two Side Cabinets

The barn doors slide inward to reveal two side cabinets that are perfect for storing media items, gaming consoles, and more. A TV stand with storage will help keep your space clutter-free.,

One key benefit to the side cabinets is that they can be adjusted to accommodate various media items and consoles. One side doesn’t necessarily need to mirror the other so you can really customize the setup as needed.

Feature #5: Display and Private Storage

This TV stand with barn doors lets you both display small mementos and decorative items while hiding items you want to keep from being seen in order to eliminate clutter. The beautiful barn doors offer both utility and style in one convenient package.

Feature #6: Cable Management

The rear panel of the Lorraine TV Stand has 6 cable management holes that are evenly spaced and large enough for cables to be neatly hidden in the back and out of sight. This feature will keep the TV stand looking tidy and clutter-free.

You may want to buy wire guides which could come in handy if you have more than one cord running from behind your wall into the unit – think about how many cords there would be on average just for power alone!

Feature #7: Anti-tip Device

The Lorraine TV Stand comes with an anti-tipping device that attaches securely to the wall which prevents tipping. This is an important safety feature if you have young children or pets in your home who may need a reminder that TV stands are not playthings.

As shown in the pictures below, the Lorraine TV Stand has lots of features that offer both utility and style in one convenient package.

Features Score: 4.8 / 5 pts

(6) Packaging

Product Packaging

The Lorraine TV Stand ships in a large, heavy box and will likely require two sets of hands to move.

As for the packaging material, they use a few different types to protect the furniture parts: 

• Plastic corner protectors are used for covering all corners of the interior of the shipping box which further protects the parts.

• Reinforced styrofoam – The package use tough styrofoam sheets that cover the length of the box on all sides which acts as the first line of defense in protecting the parts.

• Polyfoam sheets – There are thin, polyfoam sheets that sit between furniture pieces so they don’t scratch each other during shipping.

• Cardboard strip – Ther is a long cardboard cutout covering the length of the box located underneath the TV stand top which separates it from the rest of the furniture pieces.

Hardware Packaging

The packaging of hardware is really important on many levels, namely for helping you get organized quickly before starting the assembly process and seamlessly progressing through it.

• The hardware comes in a small red bag and is easy to identify – Single bagged hardware usually does the job in safely transporting the hardware, but in some instances, the bag may arrive punctured and parts may be scattered around the shipping box.
  
  A more ideal scenario would be to receive the hardware parts double bagged in case the inner bag ruptures during shipment. 

• The hardware parts are individually organized – The hardware itself comes individually bagged and marked inside the red plastic bag which means you will not have to do any organizing prior to assembly.

• There isn’t a large variety of hardware parts, so staying organized should be easier and will help make the assembly process more efficient! 

Overall, the TV stand is very well packaged, although the styrofoam can become quite messy if broken during shipping. In this instance, you’ll need a broom or vacuum to tidy the mess.

The box includes the television stand, assembly instructions, a hardware package including all necessary mounting bolts for installation as well as screws, anchors, and an anti-tipping device.

Packaging Score: 4.5 / 5 pts

(7) Assembly

Assembling this sliding barn door tv stand is a relatively simple task, compared to other similar-sized TV stands.

Altogether, there are only 10 assembly steps – 11 if you include installing the anti-tipping hardware on the back of the TV stand.

• It takes roughly 1 – 1.5 hours to assemble. When you add in unboxing and organizing parts before assembly, the overall process can take about 2 hours to complete.

• The instruction manual uses picture illustrations that are magnified to show the proper orientation when attaching furniture parts and using the hardware.

• Here we created a step-by-step instruction video showing you how to assemble the Lorraine TV Stand for TVs up to 60″ – this is if you want to give the assembly a shot yourself!

3 Sections of the User Manual

The manual is simple, easy to follow and organized by sections. The different parts of this guide will be divided into 3 sections:

1. furniture parts list
2. hardware parts list
3. assembly steps

The furniture parts list and hardware parts lists feature the pictures, part numbers, and quantities of each individual part.

As mentioned earlier, 11 individual assembly steps are illustrated with zoomed-in pictures demonstrating how to connect furniture parts and hardware.

Assembly Tips:

• Wear knee pads if you have them – You’re going to be kneeling a lot, so you might as well protect your knees.

• Align your furniture parts correctly as illustrated in the instructions – Double and triple-check that you are using the right hardware and positioning the furniture parts correctly!

• Use the lowest setting of a power drill if you plan on using one – If you’re not experienced using a drill or not comfortable using one then you can use a screwdriver and the Allen wrench provided.

In many cases one person can assemble it by themselves so long they are patient, take their time with each step, and are careful throughout the process.

Assembly Score: 4.5 / 5 pts

(8) Usability

There are two functions on the TV stand that will be used most often which are the 6 adjustable shelves and the sliding doors – all of which are intuitive and easy to master.

6 Adjustable Shelves

• Each shelf can be adjusted by simply removing 4 pins

• Each shelf can be placed on 1 of 3 different height positions

• Each shelf can be removed altogether if you choose

The 6 adjustable shelves are easy to use and the pins on which they lay stay in place and are high-quality.

Sliding Barn-Style Doors

• Each door hangs on a metal rail across the top of the stand

• Each door has two pre-installed rollers at the top of the stand

• Each door has a pre-installed track guide at the bottom

The rollers on the barn doors are pre-installed and are easy enough to place on the metal rail. The screws for the bottom track guide may need to be loosened and properly placed in the track located at the base of the TV stand.

Usability Score: 5 / 5 pts

(9) Portability

As previously mentioned, the TV stand weighs 100 lbs, which is considerably heavy. Therefore moving the TV stand to a different location will be challenging and require multiple strong adults to lift.

Moving Tips (within the room):

The best ways to move the TV stand are:

• There are 6 plastic sliders located underneath the stand to make moving it on smooth floors easier.

• Alternately, you can lay a moving blanket under and around it so that two people can slide or pull it level with one another.

• 3 adults carefully lift and move the TV stand – two people on the ends and one person in the middle to support the electric fireplace.

The best option for smooth floors is to utilize the pre-installed sliders under the base in order to move the TV stand around the room whenever it’s needed.

Alternatively, for rugged floors, you can partially lift each of the four corners of the TV stand one at a time in order to place a moving blanket underneath the TV stand in order to slide the stand.

At the end of the day, moving the TV stand around a room or transporting it to a different location all together is not a particularly easy task, especially for a single individual.

Portability Score: 3.8 / 5 pts

(10) Safety

The Lorraine TV Stand is gorgeous, well-built, and sturdy once fully assembled. However, we found that there are a few potential safety issues with the TV stand.

Potential Safety Issues:

• Sharp corners of the TV stand.
  
  If there will be small children around this TV stand, then Installing clear rubber corner guards for childproofing is an easy solution to this problem.

Safety Tip: Clear rubber corner guards can be purchased for less than $10 and are totally worth the investment if it means avoiding a bad injury. 

• Fingers jamming in sliding doors
  
  If you aren’t careful (children in particular) you can jam your fingers between the sliding doors and the left/right end panels of the TV stand.

Safety Tip: Keep an eye on small children as they can get curious and be tempted to slide the doors back and forth for fun.

• TV stand tipping over
  
  This large farmhouse TV stand is 32″ in height which is relatively tall. The stand can be a tipping hazard for young, active children or pets who like to climb furniture.

Safety Tip: Install the anti-tipping restraint hardware to the back of the TV stand and attach it to the wall.

By taking the necessary precautions, you can actively avoid potential safety hazards and create a safe environment.

Safety Score: 4.4 / 5 pts

Final Score: 45.5 / 50 (91%)

In conclusion, the TV stand is a beautiful and sturdy piece of furniture. The one thing you can’t deny is that it has been rated favorably by an overwhelming majority of reviewers.

There’s a lot to love about this TV stand! With a classy barn door style and plentiful interior shelves, it’s both attractive and practical. This bed is a great purchase for the price and you can’t go wrong with it.

Where It Can Improve

• Packaging: The styrofoam packaging can be upgraded to avoid leaving a mess after unboxing the parts. 

• Assembly: The package can include a small Phillips head screwdriver for step #5 of the instruction manual in case the track guide at the bottom of the door needs to. be adjusted for proper placement.
