Initial impressions were good, but as I got it in place and put into use the underlying cheapness made its presence known.  The finish isn't heavy enough to fully cover the wood on the shelves.  To be clear the exterior finish is just fine, except for at joints where there is a hairline of bare wood visible and on shelves which aren't in plain view. The handles for the two doors are just enough different height to be noticeable.  Annoying, and a bigger deal to me than the fairly minor finish comments.  I also had to cut the back out in order to make the connections to my receiver. The receiver itself just fit, but there was no room for cables.
