This unit is manufactured from veneers of very high quality and is easy to assemble.  The instructions are pictures but are easy enough to follow as they are numbered.  Once completed the unit is very elegant looking.  

One caveat is that the base could be a little bigger to make it more stable but once you put movies in, the added weight makes it more stable.  It appears to be designed to take into account the weight of DVDs, etc.  It looks really nice in our living room.
