Product review (5 stars): Highly Recommended for Beer Enthusiasts!
I purchased this beverage center to store my ever-growing beer collection in, and it is perfect for that purpose! I've addressed a few different items below to hopefully help prospective buyers (many of these have been mentioned in other reviews as well) -

TEMPERATURE -

The beverage center comes with an adjustable temperature knob. I would recommend following the instructions of initially running the unit at max cool temp for 3-4 hours and then turning it back to the 10 o'clock position on the dial. If you leave it there, it should keep the temperature in the mid to upper 40's while not requiring the fan/compressor to run constantly. Ambient temperature may affect this, but I have mine stored in a pretty warm  room. This temperature falls within the desired range for most styles of beer. If all of your beer is fizzy and yellow and you prefer to drink it ice cold, then you need to take a step back and rethink your life choices.

By the way - this unit does NOT come with any sort of temperature gauge. You should purchase a refrigerator/freezer gauge to accurately monitor it. I went with this model -&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Taylor-Precision-Products-Digital-Refrigerator-Freezer-Thermometer/dp/B00875TVYQ/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Taylor Precision Products Digital Refrigerator/Freezer Thermometer</a>

NOISE -

I have this beverage center sitting next to my couch in my loft / MAN CAVE. I can watch TV quietly at night and the sound from the compressor is NOT excessively loud or annoying. Also keep in mind, as I mentioned above - if you don't run the unit at max cool temperature then that will reduce the amount of time that the fan/compressor are running.

INTERIOR LIGHT -

Many people have complained about the warm white or YELLOW "old" looking interior light. I agree that it looks bad. Some have replaced it with strings of cool white LED lights. I recommend just replacing the bulb with a cool white LED bulb - one with an E12 size base will fit. I went with this model and it looks great -&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Rayhoo-2pcs-E12-Base-LED-Bulb-104-SMD-LEDs-White-Light-5-Watt-AC-110V-Lamps-Equivalent-to-40W-T3-Halogen-Track-Bulb-Replacement-LED-Bulbs-6000-6500K-300-320LM/dp/B015O6UT6E/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Rayhoo 2pcs E12 Base LED Bulb 104-SMD LEDs White Light 5 Watt AC 110V Lamps Equivalent to 40W T3 Halogen Track Bulb Replacement LED Bulbs,6000-6500K, 300-320LM</a>

CARPET -

The door will most likely drag if you put the unit directly on carpet. You should use a piece of tile, wood, or small table to get it up off the ground. Something that is at least 15.5" by 15.5" will cover all of the legs. I used an extra piece of kitchen tile that I had and it works perfectly.

SHELVES -

You will need to adjust the shelves to fit your needs. In my case, I removed 2 of them and kept 2 in there. I use the bottom (not a shelf) to store bombers and extra-tall bottles, the middle shelf to store regular bottles, and the top shelf to store cans and short bottles. I haven not had a problem with bottles tipping or not sitting properly on the wire shelves, but if you do, you can purchase some mats like these, cut them to fit, and place on top of the shelves where needed -&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Flexible-Chopping-Mats-4-Pack/dp/B00METEK0Q/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Flexible Chopping Mats 4 Pack</a>
