I love the look of this entertainment center, though it is much darker than it appears on the site (less cherry, more dark wood). The item did come with some defects (the backing framing wood on one of my glass door insets had all splintered off, so I had to glue it back in so the glass would stay in, and there's a good-sized chip on the front top edge of the center that the marker doesn't help with), but for the price it wasn't worth the hassle of taking it back apart to start again. It took probably two hours for two people to do, but that counted time for the wood glue to dry and a couple breaks. It's gorgeous and it is the exact height I wanted since most entertainment centers are 22-25 inches tall. I recommend, but be aware that the items will most likely come with 1-2 issues ... it's just a question of how obvious they are.
