I bought this to put in my living room, as I live in a small 1-BR in Boston.  This piece is a huge space saver, and looks great in my apartment.  It was relatively easy to put together, although I would recommend having two people put it together as you will need to flip over the entire cabinet at one point.  Only issue I'm having is th magnet on one side doesn't keep the door completely shut, but that's not a huge issue to fix.
