Great bookcase! We are using it as a console unit: We have a fireplace in the middle of the main living room wall (on which our TV is mounted), so we couldn't have a standard console table - we were looking for a narrow, tall unit. This one is working great and is looking great! Note that if used as a console, need to make sure to mount it to the wall so that there will be a bit of a gap between the shelves and the wall, to allow wires to go through.
