It is a nice aesthetic for the most part. I don't love that it looks like my grandfather's faux wood paneling, but all in all it is good. The one glitch is that the sliding door does not slide over the albums properly so you risk damaging the album covers or even the albums if you try. I just kept it where it is. I can access both halves, but just barely. They should test their designs more. Also that front pocket on the sliding door is not big enough for an album either so I don't know what the point of that is.
