This document describes the assembly and features of the Whalen Audio Component Tower, model #BBAT27TC. It's designed to organize and display audio components and can accommodate a flat-panel TV.
The Whalen Audio Component Tower serves as a multi-tiered storage and display unit for various audio and video components. It features four distinct shelf levels, each designed to hold different types of equipment, from receivers and amplifiers to DVD players and gaming consoles. The top shelf is specifically designed to support a flat-panel television, making it a central piece for an entertainment setup. The open design of the unit promotes air circulation around electronic components, which is crucial for preventing overheating and extending the lifespan of the devices. The tower's structure, composed of shelf frames, a spine, and legs, provides a stable and secure platform for valuable electronics. The inclusion of glass shelves adds a modern aesthetic while offering a durable surface for components. The unit is also equipped with a tipping restraint hardware kit, emphasizing safety by allowing the tower to be securely anchored to a wall, preventing accidental tipping, especially in households with children or pets. This feature is particularly important given the weight of the components it is designed to hold.
The Audio Component Tower offers several features that enhance its usability and integration into a home entertainment system. The multi-level design allows for organized placement of multiple components, keeping cables tidy and accessible. The open back of the unit facilitates easy cable management, allowing users to route power cords and audio/video cables discreetly. The glass shelves are not only aesthetically pleasing but also easy to clean, providing a low-maintenance surface for electronics. The unit's design, with its combination of metal frames and glass shelves, offers a contemporary look that can complement various home decors. The assembly process is designed to be straightforward, with clear instructions and all necessary hardware provided, including an Allen wrench. The "ShowUhow" video instruction guides further simplify the assembly, offering visual step-by-step assistance. This makes it accessible even for individuals with limited experience in furniture assembly. The floor levelers at the bottom of the legs are a practical feature, allowing users to adjust the unit's height and correct for uneven floors, ensuring stability and preventing wobbling. This attention to detail in the design ensures that the tower can be perfectly leveled, which is important for the safety of the components and the overall aesthetic. The maximum load capacities for each shelf are clearly indicated, guiding users to place components safely and prevent overloading, which could compromise the unit's stability.
Maintaining the Whalen Audio Component Tower is designed to be simple and convenient. The glass shelves are easy to wipe clean with a soft cloth and appropriate glass cleaner, helping to keep the unit looking new and free of dust and fingerprints. The metal frames can also be cleaned with a damp cloth to remove dust. A touch-up pen is provided with the unit, which is a thoughtful inclusion for addressing any small nicks or scratches that might occur during assembly, shipping, or everyday use. This allows users to maintain the aesthetic integrity of the unit over time, keeping it looking its best. The quality guarantee provided by Whalen Furniture ensures that should any parts be defective in workmanship or materials, or if the unit fails under normal use within one year of purchase, it will be repaired or replaced. This commitment to quality and customer satisfaction provides peace of mind to the owner. The availability of replacement parts through customer service, identified by specific part numbers, ensures that any damaged or lost components can be easily acquired, extending the lifespan of the unit. The detailed parts list with corresponding diagrams makes it easy for users to identify and request specific components if needed. The instruction to not fully tighten bolts until all parts are assembled is a practical maintenance tip during the initial setup, as it allows for easier adjustments and alignment, preventing potential strain on the structure and ensuring a smoother assembly process. Once fully assembled, tightening all bolts ensures the unit's long-term stability and safety.
