So far I'm very happy. The slide out shelves are not on guides so they do not pull out the way, but are functional and attractive. Also, shelves are easily removed if you have over sized bottles or want to stack bottles. I looked for a long time to find a larger wine cooler that was reasonable priced and also energy efficient. For the money + efficiency I'm extremely happy. If it lasts 8-10 years I will be ecstatic.
