We got this piece to put under our wall-mounted TV to hide all the wires and hardware.  It has a back that you nail on. The plan was to cut a couple of holes in the back to run the wires, but we ended up removing the back and just putting the open end against the wall, with all the wires and cable stuff inside. It's very sturdy even without the back.  It works great and looks amazing. We got the mahogany color and it looks beautiful with realistic wood grain. There were less expensive versions of this sort of cabinet, but buying this better one was worth it. It's a solid little piece of furniture and was easy to assemble.
