We're super happy with this.  It's just as pictured.  We bought 2 matching bookshelves to go on either side.  Because they are flat surfaced on the sides, they slide right up to each other, looking like one unit.  Very well made and ample space behind the doors since there is no shelf.  We put our box of old DVD's under there for now.  There's a hole in the bottom area, and also in the top space for the sound bar.
