This is a very nice and attractive piece of furniture. It is designed and built with a slight backward lean which helps to make it secure and stable, and also allows the doors to close and stay closed by gravity. With the bottom of the unit up against the baseboard, the top of the unit comes nicely up against the wall. The only complaint and problem I see with this unit is that the placement of the middle shelf is fixedsuch that if you are storing DVDs or Blu-ray discs or VHS tapes that you get to full shelves above the fix shelf and two full shells below it and then you have a half of shelf space above and half of shelf space below affecting how many pieces of media you can store upright. We are storing media sideways in the half space above and the have space below. If they moved the location of the fixed shelf it seems like you could get another full shelf of a uprright storage
