This unit was very challenging for my hubby to put together and he is an expert at it. It took him about 5 hrs total to complete it. Since he is the one who put it together  I  asked him to review it. He had several complaints. First of all the drawings were not always accurate which made it confusing at times. The locking mechanism was missing several components so the lock does not work. This is fine with me since I don't intend to lock it. The screws for the magnets were the wrong size. Luckily he has a huge collection of screws so it wasn't hard to find something that worked. Overall I like it very much. It's the perfect size for my needs and it does hold a lot of cds/dvds. I do recommend it.
