I've had this about 4 weeks now, and am very happy with the product overall. I purchased the dark cherry, and the finish is almost identical in person to what you see in the picture. It was simple to put together, and is very sturdy. I am using mine strictly for cd storage, and notice the same "lean" issue other people have, I have mine against a wall, so that wasn't a problem for me necessarily. About the only thing I would like to see if it were up to me, is offering extra shelves. I have a lot of dead space in between shelves that could be used by adding another row of discs, however, users storing DVD/Blu-Ray/VHS wouldn't have this issue
