The unit is a great size and design, and is also very solid. However, the workmanship leaves a lot to be desired. The left door will not close, though my husband thinks he can repair it. There was an area that had a serious smudge of glue that I worked on to remove without damaging the paint. There was also a very small area where the wood is cracked, but not too noticeable when loaded with technology units. The joints are off slightly in places and you can see wood that is not painted. Should we have returned it -- yes, however it is for our basement family room and because the size is perfect, we decided to keep it. The packaging for shipment was quite significant. It was definitely not damaged during shipping! If you decide to buy one, keep in mind that it is a solid piece but poor workmanship. I guess for the money, it's about what you'd expect--maybe a little less.
