This was a great buy for my living room set. Once I built it, which took about a couple hrs, then added some books, DVDs, and some art decor it added some much room to my living area. One of the most interest things about to me is the color yeah I know white is a little harder to keep clean but it blends in very well with my living room set. If I had more room in my apartment I would not even mind owning a 2 nd one.
