I purchased this item last week. It came promptly, and since we were having guests over, we had to have it assembled quickly. My boyfriend is very good at putting things together, but he felt like this item had some poor design. He said the instructions were actually very good. The doors do not meet and there is a 1/4 inch gap between them. The decorative top portion was difficult to put on because when you added another piece, it would make the others pop off. The shelves didn't fit the best, but we made them work. The handles are wooden, which is nice. We were glad we went with the black one, because it is mdf, and the wood would probably be fake looking. It does hold an impressive amount of DVDs. The shelves on the door are not as flimsy as the other reviewer indicated. The side pices are screwed in, it is the shelf in between that you are supposed to super glue. We skipped the glue, and they are still holding the DVDs fine. It is a very streamlined look, but I do wish it had drawers instead of the flip-top, which I saw on another website for a lot more. We have some extra binders of DVDs on top and we have to move them every time we want to get something out of the top. The lock works very well, you could use it as a safe-it is very secure. Overall, for [$]it isn't bad."..." Read more
