Overall, this piece is a spectacular value. The MDF is very well disguised, the hardware is of reasonably high quality, and the finish looks much more impressive than the price would suggest. The smaller compartment on the left fits my router, modem, and cable company DVR perfectly. I was able to fit a stereo receiver onto the top shelf of the right side as well with just enough room to clear the sliding door. It took me right at two hours to assemble this thing by myself using only a Phillips head screwdriver. My only complaint is that the side panels don't align *perfectly* with the top and bottom pieces, but it's only barely noticeable and doesn't detract from the overall aesthetic. And besides, it was a $200 piece of flat-packed furniture. I can't really complain at that price. Bottom line: go ahead and pull the trigger if you're even considering buying this bad boy. You won't regret it.
