Very pleased with this unit.  It's a very substantial - translation, heavy - piece of furniture.  All three pieces arrived well packaged with no defects although the boxes themselves were a bit banged up.  The fact that the shelves are open really seems to make my space look bigger.  Just need to group your wiring and tie it to the legs to make it less visible.  Overall, I consider it a very good buy.  Looks as good, if not better, than the ones available in furniture stores - and no cardboard back.  You won't regret this purchase.
