This is a slim way and a clean look to incorporate a TV screen, speaker bar and other video/DVD items into a neat space. The little shelf atop is a fun spot in which to set a piece of art or a funky photo. It was easy to assemble - did so by myself. The wood pieces are hollow core so this is not a super solid piece but this also makes it easier to assemble and move into place. My reason for 4 versus 5 stars is that it would be nice to have a few, flatter bun-type feet to attach on the bottom to bring the unit off the floor a bit. Maybe an option to give to future purchasers?
