It's almost impossible to find video and cd storage that looks like fine furniture. Most of what's out there -- well, you know what it looks like. But this unit really looks like it belongs in a high-end living room. The veneers are beautifully stained and finished.  The sliding doors well designed, made of real wood and lovely glass panels. I bought the next to the largest size which holds a huge number of dvd's and cd's.  On the downside, the assembly instructions are all tiny pictures (no words) and very confusing. I hired an assembly company to put it together and I'm glad I did. I'm not visually oriented at all, so if you are you may find the assembly instructions less baffling then I did.
