This is easily one of the most affordable multimedia stands available. It's fairly easy to put together, and I felt comfortable enough with the quality to purchase three of them. Let me offer a few thoughts on the purchases: 1) The color is Cinnamon Cherry but actually doesn't look Cinnamon or Cherry--it looks more ebony to me. Definitely a darker shade, but still fits in well with surrounding furniture. 2) The backing for the unit is folded in thirds, so even after you unfold it, it doesn't really lie flat against the back of the unit. There are plenty of small nails/brads to keep it in place, but the creases still show. 3) I used power tools for speed in assembly, but be careful with them. The wood is mostly particle board and doesn't lend itself well to over-tightening. Also, don't make a mistake with any of the assembly steps, because reversing it could potentially damage the wood or appearance. 4) The assembled unit is very light-weight, and easy to fall over--so fill it up with media right away and it will stay in place. 5) Look at the measurements carefully, as the unit is much smaller in person, than it appears in the picture--thus, I bought 3 of them! 6) I filled mine up with Video tapes, which gave me two extra shelves per unit as spares. You'll need the extra two shelves (which are included) if you are filling yours up with only CD's, as they are much shorter. For videotapes, I filled up each unit with about 145 tapes. For videotapes, the unit will use 5 shelves, DVD's 6 shelves, and CD's 7 shelves (including base as shelf). All shelves are included, and accessory pieces are top-notch."..." Read more
