I got it for my husband - as it is more his style of furniture (I go for retro modern styles). My husband got frustrated with assembling it, as we both agreed that the directions' pictures weren't matching the product well in some areas (such as the picture of the magnetic latch). However, it holds about half of our DVD collection and it looks great in our living room. I also like that it comes with a fabric tab to attach it to the wall so it won't fall over.
