Our take on the Sanus BFAV48

by Ralph Graves

The Sanus BFAV48 cabinet not only provides a home for your audio/video system — it's understated elegance complements any décor. Simple lines and richly stained hardwood veneers make this an attractive piece of furniture. This cabinet's elongated hexagonal shape lets you place it either flat against a wall, or snugly angled in a corner of your room.

Smart A/V design
The extra-wide shelves provide plenty of room for your gear. Each shelf is ventilated, ensuring a free flow of air to keep your components cool. Openings in the back panel let you conveniently thread wires between shelves, keeping them organized and out of sight. The cabinet top can support a flat-panel TV with a screen size of up to 52" and weighing up to 150 lbs. And this piece is compatible with Sanus' ELM701 anti-tip strap, which can give your TV additional stability.

Easy, no-tools-required assembly
Although it ships flat, the BFAV48 can be unpacked and set up within minutes, without using any tools. The panels snap together with built-in locks, and the interior shelving and supports slip into place on sturdy pegs. The cabinet doors are already mounted in their frames. You simply attach the knobs and slide them onto their hinges.

    Good Product

    Written By Isaiah J, Springfield, MO on Monday, June 18, 2012
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    I really like the product. A few problems with CEVA, the delivery service, made the shipping an annoyance. I received the product almost a week later than the original date I was supposed to. Once I got it and unboxed it though, I really liked how it looked. There was a few cosmetic problems, including some wood glue that is noticeable at the seams on the base. We managed to get it cleaned up though and it look great in our living room now.
    Pros:
    Good Price point, fits very nicely into a corner, good ventilation for components. Pretty sturdy construction too.
    Cons:
    Storage space is pretty small once you get your components in there. A separate unit for DVD and CD storage will be needed.

    Good Result

    Written By Careful Chooser, Hyannis, MA on Sunday, March 04, 2012
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    In trying to fit a corner unit next to a fireplace that limited the corner area available, I searched extensively online. I was hampered by maximun depth (20") and width (42") by necessity in my choice and chose this as the best candidate. It came well-packed and, as a "no tools to assemble" item, was quickly laid out for completion. It's easy to put together, can be done by one person, and locks together tightly. The slide-on mount front doors are helpful when installing or changing electronic gear and I love the consideration for the heat-venting thru the shelves since I have some high-end equipment that can kick out some heat. I've got a 46" plasma TV (heavy) on it that sits well and fits nicely on the piece size. The finish shade is darker (fortunately for me) than the Crutchfield photo shows and it's closer to a light cherry than a blonder chestnut, which pleased me better. Down side was the pedastal (bottom stand) was bowed down across the middle about 1/4" inch, far enough that the locking keys wouldnt't seat, and showed a visible gap below the sides. Called Cruthfield, got the Sanus phone number, explained it to them and they shipped me a new pedastal within a week, no hassle. In short, very happy with the product and also the service by both companies. I can enthusiatically recommend both but have to a star off this particular transaction for the defective pedastal and the delayed gratification.
    Pros:
    Well-conceived product, good service support, ease of assemby, good looks.
    Cons:
    Production quality control (in one case)

    This television stand is perfection. It is a great piece of furniture that helps make more room in our small living room. The Crutchfield team was terrific in scheduling the delivery and it came a day early.
