I'm really enjoying this cabinet in my house. It is made of pressboardMDF, but once it is put together, it is pretty sturdy. There was a small spot in the door where the black finish was scratched, but it was an easy cover up with black marker. To address the issue people are having with the door, it is definitely difficult to get level, no doubt about that. It takes 2 people to get it right. As far as the gap around the door, my assumption is that this is he manufacture's way of providing some ventilation. This is listed as and audio cabinet so it is going to get warm in there. It wouldn't be a bad thing for them to list in the description, and show a close up picture of the gap to let people know. Not a big deal for me at all, and I installed a cooling fan in the cabinet as well. All in all, it's a good looking piece for the price. It was exactly what I was looking for for my AV components.
