This piece of furniture is beautiful. It matches perfectly with other wood shades in this room.  Is an expensive looking piece of furniture.  I purchased the dark walnut color and it is absolutely stunning with the fireplace. In addition, it was easy to assemble. The shelves to place the video equipment are small, but adjustable to fit an older DVDVHS combo player in perfectly. I did not attach the backing but put it up against a wall.  So no one would noticed that it is not attached. Would definitely recommend.
