I bought two of these along with the tv stand and created a unit out of the three pieces. Because there is no overhang on the sides, these can go right up against each other and therefore look like a unit. This item is very sturdy, the shelves are thick, the drawer opens and closes easily, and the doors can smoothly open and close. It does take a lot of time to put together, but is well worth the time. The package this comes in is very heavy and you will need two people or one very strong person. I had a muscular, young man take these up for me and he said they were heavy and had a hard time. These are packaged very well and it is obvious takes pride in its craftsmanship.
