We originally were going to use one side for cd's, one for dvd's. You know how there is always one more you just have to have? So buy a matching set of these storage units. We put them on either side of a window, built a seat between and it gives that wall a build in look. Did add picture lighting over the top to aid is seeing titles. With the doors open, the unit was top heavy and simply anchored it to a wall. Since power was behind these units, put in a powerstrip and located that on the top of the unit for futre access.
