I love the look of this dresser, I also have the chest and a nightstand from this collection. There are a lot of drawers but they are small, and with the exception of the bottom two larger drawers, they won't hold too many items. The  area behind the doors in the center of the dresser is pretty spacious, there is one shelf in that section. We use that area to house/hide our DVD player, a game system, joysticks, and a few games. Our television is mounted on the wall above the dresser (I didn't purchase the mirror).
