The unit is very functional and serves my needs well.  However, it does have it's share of flaws to deal with.  Since it is not of the highest quality some of the holes don't always line up properly and the instructions are too vague, thus making it more dufficult to assemble.  In the end some of the pieces didn't always fit correctly and needed to be altered somewhat.  I kind of expected this as most of the reviews that I read had indicated these type of problems BUT, I bought it anyway because I liked the price and it serves it's purpose.  Actually, it does look pretty nice in my media room so over all I'm happy with it.
