I really like the look of this piece and its very sturdy for the price! We have ours with out the handles and I think it keeps it even cleaner and more modern looking. Its great for a larger TV and has lots of space for electronics while keeping things neat and hidden. Its really heavy and comes in many pieces but my boyfriend didn't find it hard to put together at all. One star off because alignment of one of the drawers isn't perfect and its not solid wood but veneer.
