Salamander Designs SB236B/A Review by Mr. J. Caldito "What?" (Glendale, CA)
I bought a Synergy 236 with black/aluminum posts from an online vendor. They had the best pricing and my stand was custom ordered with side covers and left and right doors with perforated steel. I opted not to get the center door and/or media drawer to allow more air to my A/V Receiver plus I wanted to put my center speaker on top of it. I also bought Salamander Saturn Wheels to replace the supplied foot level stands. Both the Synergy 237 and 236 requires 8 wheels.
Before I continue I want to say that I bought this $1200+ TV Stand because of the quality of the parts, looks, shelf adjustability, shelf space, and customization. I was looking at the cheaper stands but the wood was too thin, shelves were in fixed positions, small shelf space, and some didn't have doors and if they did they had poor ventilation and looked ugly. My friends thought I was crazy spending that kind of money on a TV stand and teased me saying "Does it come with a TV at that price?".
Shipping took about a week and the stand came in several boxes. 2 of them were very heavy. I installed the Synergy 236 on a weekend and it took me about 3hrs to finish it! That doesn't include installing the back panel to do the wiring. Having the Saturn wheels installed made the rest of the job easier but I did get confused when installing the shelf pegs. I actually thought Salamander forgot to put more pegs but realized I did something wrong in the installation and that fixed my problem.
Overall I am very happy with my decision in getting the Synergy 236 with no regrets. If you're thinking about buying and installing the Synergy 236 then my advice to you is that you're going to need a lot of patience, common sense, and a good strong back when installing this stand.
Salamander Designs SB236B/A Review by Alan Gary Bartel "Alan" (New Jersey)
The design of the cabinet is fantastic and fits all the video and audio equipment. It was a bit difficult to put together, but at least the instructions were complete.
Salamander Designs SB236B/A Review by Amy K. Yu "Pak K. So" (WHITESTONE, NY United States)
I really do love the beauty and the well thought out design behind the Synergy system. It is a modular design so you can always come back and expand on the system in the future.
It took me many hours to put it together (and I will explain more below on this).
The pieces are all very sturdy (thick wood, strong and heavy vertical supports) so you know it can hold a good amount of weight. Even the secondary pieces (such as the rear boards) are nicely made. There is nothing "cheap" looking about this system at all.
The cherry and black option also looks very nice (it looks a little darker than what I noticed on the monitor). I would have liked it if somehow they could make it so the heads of the top screws are not exposed.
OK so what am I not happy about? First off...it was missing two pieces (a washer and a silver screw knob on the rear). I ended up using things from my toolbox to supplement.
Almost every piece has minor dings or scratches...I could live with almost all of them. When I finally put all of the pieces together and it was time to put the top piece of wood on...I was shocked to see that there were a couple of long gashes (about 6 inches long...a second smaller one about 2 inches long) on the top piece. They look like someone dug a tool into the wood by mistake.
I discovered this after many hours so it took me even more time to swap the bottom piece for the top piece. I am very very unhappy that the maker cannot ship this in a way that the scratches do not occur.
The box that it came in looked very well packaged so I don't think shipping is the problem. I think it lies in the maker's internal quality control before the pieces get to the box.
I think one thing they can do to improve on this is use more of the protective plastic wrap. They put protective plastic wrapping on all the black pieces of wood which you peel off...why can't they do this on all the other major pieces as well?
If you want to order this system (why wouldn't you, it's a great design that looks very nice and simple), I recommend taking all the pieces out and inspecting them. If it has dings like mine did, strategically figure out which location the piece with the hideous scratch should go to first before spending a ton of time.
Because believe me, after hours of working on it and the weight of this package will make you not want to return it.
