This is a great looking, contemporary piece of furniture.  The shelves are deep enough that you can even display other items, such as framed pictures, in front of the books.  The drawer is the perfect size for storage.  I use the drawer for storing all my CDs.  My only complaint is the effort it takes to put together as it comes completely disassembled.  It helps to have two sets of hands to make it work but the effort is worth it for the price and look you get.
