Although I am happy with purchasing this unit, I was not fond of the assembly between the top half and bottom half.  The material that the stand is made of is not "MDF" but is fine particle wood.  While assembling the unit the bottom and top halves of it came apart in pieces.  I had to immediately try to repair it in the middle of putting it together.  After repairs it is OK, but I would prefer something of a denser material makeup.  Otherwise, this thing will store a TON of CD's and DVD's, which for that I am thankful.
