Now that I have it all assembled correctly, I believe it's going to work out fine.  The first shipment was defective, however.  When assembling, I guess you have to be pretty careful not to screw the legs in too tightly because I screwed one right into the top of the wood!  So, go slowly and make sure.  I called the customer service folks and they had me a replacement in 2 days and, most importantly, I did NOT have to return the defective unit, which I think is fairly wonderful.  However, when I received my new unit, the wire parts were missing from it (those 2 metal wire guides to hold your records in place), so it's a good thing I hadn't disposed of the ones from the first shipment.  All in all, though, I am happy with this record-holding rack.  It holds my turntable and my records fit nicely underneath and it matches my furniture.  So, I suppose I'd recommend it to that end.
