Room×Lab Review · Review updated September 8, 2026

The one review on this set's listing praises its storage; Tate console owners report early scratches, shallow cabinets and damaged replacements

Room×Lab read 124 distinct written reviews, posted September 2021–August 2026, that Crate & Barrel shares across Tate consoles and console-and-bookcase sets, including 64.5-inch and 80-inch consoles in walnut, black, gray and Stone finishes. Most describe a console alone; open-shelf and bar-storage pieces and other finishes differ from this walnut closed-bookcase set. One review, on this 136.5-inch set's listing, describes the console and bookcases without giving dimensions. A separate, older ConsumerAffairs review covers a Tate console. The reviews below show this set's one review, another Tate owner's praise and four other Tate owners' specific complaints; they are examples, not a tally.

Room×Lab rating: 7.1 out of 10 (limited confidence). The one review on this set's listing praises its walnut color, storage and easy setup. Across Tate consoles, owners report early scratches, sagging or failure within months in two cases, and repeated replacement problems. Based on owner reviews, not hands-on testing; none describes years of use with the complete set.

  • Combined storage earns praise: 4 favorable mentions of console-and-bookcase storage or setup — Of the 124 reviews Room×Lab read, four describe useful combined storage or easy setup. One, on this set's listing, covers the console and bookcases without giving dimensions; the others describe different Tate combinations.
  • Cable openings do not settle equipment fit: 5 favorable cable-routing mentions; 3 critical clearance mentions — Owners praise the discreet cable openings, but three found the cabinets too shallow for AV equipment with rear cables or for records. These counts span Tate sizes, including the 80-inch console. Measure equipment with its plugs and cables attached.
  • Replacement outcomes can disappoint: 1 favorable replacement mention; 7 critical mentions — Each count is one owner, however many deliveries they had. Critical accounts include repeated damage, defects and disappointing replacement veneer; one owner received three damaged consoles, then a door swap, and accepted edge damage. One owner reports a flawless replacement.

Before buying

Measure AV equipment with its cables attached; some Tate owners found the cabinets too shallow. Ask about load limits and replacement parts, and check the walnut surfaces and door alignment on all three pieces at delivery.
