After assembling the first one and using it as a bookcase standing vertical, I realized the same piece could work in the dining area as a sideboard/bar/buffet/display piece in the horizontal position.  I used some of the areas for wine bottles stacked in postal tube cartons, another holds an ice bucket and on & on!  So many options!  It is well made & a really good value.  The color isn't red but expresso. It is very sturdy, assembling does take time, directions easy to follow.  The self stick covers for the holes are a cheap cover up but the top doesn't have any & when I started to fill the spaces, you can't see them.

Cons: The self stick covers for the holes are a cheap cover up but the top doesn't have any & when I started filling the areas
