Yes, those rectangular particleboard Zenith's were available to the general public and many of them have provisions to add screw-on legs, turning them into a console.
My biggest issue with the '90's RCA's is the "tuner on board" that has the bad solder connections and the fact that if a component (often surface mount) fails inside the tuner, you are forced to repair it. All other brands used a separate tuner module and when something went wrong with the tuner, you simply replaced it. With that said, those RCA tuner problems were a big money maker for repair shops and besides those issues, they are good sets and the CRT's usually hold up well in them. If you see a '90's Zenith somewhere, you'd best leave it where you found it because the CRT is likely bad.
