This is the perfect solution for my large cd collection. It is a beautiful piece and just the right size for my limited space. It arrived as promised. While it was fully assembled, the downside (and reason for only 4 stars) was that the back fell off entirely the minute I removed the packing material.  I had expected that possibility, after reading other reviews. I super-glued and duct taped it back on. It wasn't a huge deal since the back side is against the wall and nobody sees it.
