I ordered this to hold our media systems. Cable box, sound system console, PS4, apple tv. The top shelf isn't strong enough for the weight of both the cable box and the sound system console, so we are going to slide some wood blocks between the shelves inside to give it some support. Don't want to have to open the doors to use the systems, so we don't want them inside the unit. Nothing is ever perfect, so we're not bothered by it. One of the sides came with some damage so Wayfair quickly sent out a replacement. No worries! I really love it, because it pulls the room together nicely, looks expensive in an elegant way. What we had was hideous compared to this pretty piece. Bought it in mahogany.  It's not too dark, it's perfect. I think the cherry would have been to light for the room. Thumbs up Wayfair!
