Frustrating Assembly/Not Good on Carpeted Floor
All it takes is for holes to be left undrilled or for important information to be left out of the directions for assembly to be a nightmare. Because holes were not drilled in the middle support, the screws for the bottom panel came out through the side of the middle support and damaged the veneer. Also, it would have been helpful if the directions cautioned that the middle support is actually offset to the right in order to accommodate the horizontal face-piece that slides on the middle support. If you are not aware of this, it appears as if the entire unit is being put together incorrectly (since the width of the right side shelf is actually shorter than the left side shelf) and it can be quite confusing. Once the face-piece is on, the shelves appear to be the same width. Also, there is NO support along the back underneath the bottom panel. The entire unit rests on the side supports and the bottom front face piece, so on carpet the unit leans precariously back. I had to use shims under the side supports to force the unit to be level on carpet.

Great Value/Great Fit
I needed a book shelf for my guest/sewing room and this was just right. The TV can sit securely on top and there is a lot of space for my books/magazines.

Excellent
This piece is great! I ordered it for my home and it is perfect. I mounted my flat screen TV on the wall, and I use this piece below it to hold my DVD, VCR, and CD/Tuner. It is deep enough to hold all of them. It is very well made and looks beautiful in my living room. It works well with the other oak pieces I already own. I did put it together myself. It was a chore, but I got it done in a couple of hours. It was worth the effort.

Easy Assembly
One of the easiest pieces of furniture I've ever put together. Nice looking and sturdy. Price was better than many others on-line, especially given the quality. It was delivered to my house less than 24 hours later which makes the high shipping charges more manageable. Overall a good purchase.
