|  | There were many misaligned pre-drilled holes. I had to disassemble and drill new holes. Unit is still mis-aligned; doors scrape the base. Shelves sag. Very flimsy. I have done woodworking for many years and this is one of the worst projects I have seen. Sorry I bought.

| | Took a little time to assemble, but came out great. I always use woodglue in the seams that I can. The shelves do bow and the doors rub on the bottom, but not enough for me to complain about. For the price I have to say I am very satisfied.

| | While I have always followed the age-old adage of "You Get What You Pay For," I have to say that I was hoping for more, even in this price range. While I am no stranger to assembling furniture such as this, my cabinet had several pieces that just didn't quite line up and, consequently, caused me to re-drill a few holes.
Additionally, while the black veneer is of the quality that one would expect in this range, it was already separating from one of the corners after only a week of ownership. Nothing a little wood glue didn't fix, but it's still a disappointment.
Lastly, the cabinet is very wide but has a very shallow depth, causing it to be fairly unbalanced if you aren't careful about where you place your media. I initially loaded the cabinet at the top and left the bottom empty. It tipped over forward, spilling the contents and creating quite a mess. I shudder to think of the consequences if it had fallen on a child or a pet...

| | I love the look of this cabinet. It's a sturdy cabinet on carpet and on regular floor. The outer parts of it are solid. My problem with it is the fact that the shelves are particle board and that they bend severely in the middle especially with the shelf being loaded with dvds to the maximum. Even my shelf with few dvds on it is bowing and my two extra shelves also bend, so it wasn't a defect. The good part is that this holds so many dvds, and it is a great buy since other dvd/cd holders that hold 200+ dvds usually cost much more and look terrible. So I would recommend that you buy this, and cut some real wood to size, paint it, and use it instead of the provided shelves.

| OK BUT HAVE GOOD TOOLS & PATIENCE! | |
| | My only complaint about this unit is that the doors are a little difficult to line up. The door hinge screws are real small and the holes that you screw them into are kind of tight. I used a small, phillip-end, jeweler's screw driver, but I also ended up reaming the hole with a small drill bit so that the screw can go in easier. I recommend a good, sure-grip screwdriver with a small phillip bit to do the job. Also, when I finished assembly, the doors had a tendency to scrape against the bottom of the cabinet stand. I suppose that problem could have been avoided if I had lined up the doors better, but what is an amateur builder to do?
Overall, I am satisfied with the unit despite some minor, construction flaws that could have been avoided with better tools and a better builder. The unit is very attractive looking as I prefer the media storage units with doors rather than the open racks. I highly recommend anchoring the unit to the wall for safety reasons. When the unit is full of DVD's and/or CD's it can tip over very easily.
