I ended up going in and removing the doors due to the space and the confines of where the receiver sits. It had nothing to due with the unit itself, I just needed more air circulation around the receiver. I suppose a different unit may have worked better but we went with this one. This unit is the first piece of furniture I've ordered sight unseen and I was very apprehensive, almost to the point of saying no to this order, but  I was pleasantly surprised. Assembly went together really quite easily. The pieces were well manufactured and went together easily. I am quite satisfied with this product.
