We had to make room for baby and needed a book case that we could use to house our office essentials as well.  The drawers are great to keep things like power cords, cameras, pens, paper & pencils hidden.  Assembly is extensive but easy to follow.  Quality is great.  Have had no problems/issues with it fitting nicely into our designated space.  The stain is a great dark chocolate (almost black) and matches other furniture - not made by the same manufacturer.
