This piece replaced a dated monstrosity of an entertainment amoire the transformation and the space it opens up in our family room is significant! We installed it just at the right height to put our two dogs crates below--opening up even more floor space!  Yes, read other reviews--it was pretty involved and a bit frustrating to assemble not necessarily hard, but required a couple of trips to the hardware store for longer screws. Love this streamlined look and get lots of compliments.
