I bought the 3 shelf unit. This piece of furniture is awesome! I had a hard time deciding what I wanted to buy and checked several online retailers. The cherry finish is a lighter finish and looks so good. My son put it together with no problems. I have not finished adding the finishing touches yet. I bought this to display a wood cremation urn. We added LED strip lights to the back and wrapped the lights for the inside top shelf to light up. Overall a sturdy, beautiful piece.
