This media shelf is wonderful! We don't have enough movies to fill it so we put a lot of decorations on it and it looks wonderful. Putting it together was fairly easy. The back is the cheap cardboard of course, but it's against a wall so it doesn't matter. The only problem is that if you want to fill it with all DVDs, some of the shelves will be uneven. 

Pros: Nice, Great Value, good size
Cons: uneven shelves
