I'd searched for a long time trying to find a middle ground between particle-board units and $700 cabinets with fancy glass doors. I also needed something to fit a narrow space. This turned out to be perfect. It's beautifully made, and no real assembly is required. In fact the feet fit so snugly onto the unit that I didn't bother with the screws to hold them on. I didn't get quite 280 DVDs on it, more like 270, but close enough. I'm ordering another one soon. After submitting a positive review on this manufacturer's site, the president of the company called me (within the hour!) to thank me and ask for more feedback. It's great to be able to support an American company that hand-makes quality furniture and is still small enough to talk personally to customers.
