The shelf is a great size and looks nice. However, it is a lot flimsier than I thought it would be. The pieces are really thin for the size of the unit which makes it unstable until you fill the shelf. There is also almost no protection for it in the box so it got damaged during shipping. Luckily the damage was just on the back pieces so DVD's will cover it, but the damage could've been a lot worse. Overall I like it, but I doubt it will survive a move.
