Excellent piece. Assembly was straight-forward, and assembly took roughly 30 minutes. Highly recommend you use hand-held tools vs powered ones to avoid any possible over-turning and potentially damaging the piece. Colors are beautiful, even and rich looking throughout, and the style is definitely vintage and looks as if it actually came from the era from which it was designed and modeled. There is a hole at the bottom to allow cables to pass from the left compartment to the right. The door slides very easily, with some noise (but ok) and apt. Be careful that you measure your equipment (especially receiver/decks) as the power cables in the rear add 2 or so inches of depth. Great buy!
