Love this sideboard. It looks great and provides a lot of extra storage in our dining room. The shelves are removable but you have unscrew the brackets they sit on. Which keeps the shelves very secure, and the shelves are also nicely finished. And if you don’t like the mirrored look the instructions state there’s an extra white panel inside the doors that could be used instead of the mirrors.  This piece is very heavy I recommend paying to have it brought into your home, it was well worth the cost.
