We smile every time we walk into the den and see it under the wide window.  It has an excellent distressed finish - not contrived looking..  The color luckily is perfect - just a few shades lighter than the walls -with the colors being so similar it doesn't seem to take up space in the room, yet you do notice it.  There is plenty of room on the bottom shelf for stereo & receiver + some books etc.  The drawers are very large & will hold a lot of CDs.  It's sturdy & well made + there are wires to secure it to the wall if needed since it's so narrow.  Very pleased.
