I bought two and the one "kick" part was cracked in half. i contacted the company and unfortunately i must wait 7-14 days to finish assembly on second bookcase. assembly was not hard at all. very important to lie unit down to screw on doors, easier to adjust. i ordered a 2 door storage cabinet but not aware it was a media cabinet,so i ordered a third bookcase as i needed for more storage. color isn't really a cherry, it's more of a red oak. still a nice look and a good price.
