This unit was SUPER PESKY and tedious to put together.   It took a really long time and the instructions were not as straight forward as other put-togethers are.  We persevered and LOVE the finished product.  It looks great and hides the mess of many, many movies that couldn't be helped by the best of other storage ideas.  It is mdf so it is also very heavy.  Overall we are happy in the end, but weren't thrilled with the building part of the experience.
