Although I put five stars the piece did have obvious drilling marks and what looks like marker marks. However the piece is so big and beautiful, great on price and practical I had to put five stars, you can cover the markings and you wont be sorry you bought this entertainment center I would recommend this to family and friends. Pro. Lots! of space to showcase your belongings Con. This does ship in shipments I got my towers on day and my console the next day don't freak out.
