use in media room and it houses all equipment easily from gaming system to home theatre to cable receiver and internet tower.  deep shelves with cut outs for cords.  Fireplace looks real with firescreen in front of glass to give it more realistic look.  keeps room warm while allowing us to lower thermostat for rest of house.  does take some time (4 hours for us) to assemble.  and patience, my instruction sheet had two steps in reverse order.  But is solid and well built and a great value for the money.
