We purchased this item to store our extensive DVD collection and the few Wii games we have.  The unit did meet our storage and external style expectations and was easy to put together (2 hours from unpack to finish storing DVDs).  Instructions for assembly are TOTALLY visual.  If you have put together items such as this before it's easy, if not it may take you longer to disipher the instructions.  Would recommend 2 people for portions of the assemby.  What I was disappointed about was the price of the item compared to what I was getting.  It is hardwood VENEER and the back is very thin press board (if it gets wet it could dissintegrate).  We'll see how it performs and holds up over time.
