The stand looks great, and is very sturdy. I like that it does not have any glass, since I have a little kid. For now we are having to use a zip tie to keep the doors closed so the kid can't get to my record collection, which is inside. My only complaint is that I wish the shelves were deeper, just so I could store more records inside. But the stand is as described and has the look and feel of a good long-lasting piece.
