I was worried buying such a large piece of furniture online; sight unseen.......reviews seemed good and the pictures  looked good quality.  I crossed my fingers and ordered the media center.  When it arrived; the box was thrashed and I expected broken items but the inside was packaged very well.  Nothing was broken.  Assembly was easy with two people.  I am so amazed how high-end this piece looks.  Very sturdy and extremely heavy.  I recommend putting the unit in place before installing all the shelving.  I am very very please!
