My girlfriend bought this for me to use as a small stand for the cable box beneath the wall-mounted TV.  When I took it out of the box, I was surprised to find cheap veneer (which was already ripped on 1 end) and particle board.  No assembly instructions were included.  We had just returned another similar 3 shelf particle board bookcase from 1 of the big box DIY stores and it was only $21.  For $43, we thought we were getting a much better product, but were sadly disappointed.  After reading a few reviews, I will be packing the box back up with the cheap piece of ____ we paid double for and getting a refund.  Do not buy this item.
