We are using this as a display unit instead of a media unit, and it works great.  The only challenge really is finding the right pieces for the upper shelves, since there is so much space between them.

Pros: Easy to assemble, nice color wood and metal, drawers are already put together.
Cons: There is a bit of a gap between the tiers and the console. If I was OCD, it might really bother me that the three pieces aren't tight and flush.
