As mentioned in another review, this is one component of the entertainment center that is sold as a grouping.  Generally, the piece is of a high quality and is sturdy.  These bookcases are very complicated to assemble, however, so I would suggest getting the assembly feature.  Noticed some nicks and scratches on a couple of the pieces, but given the difficult assembly, I will not be sending them back.  Having said all of that, the piece is modern and attractive.  I have given it 4 stars because of the slight imperfections and the difficult assembly.
