This is a sturdy, attractive cabinet. I like the finish on it. The instructions were clear. They even included a few extra screws in case you lost one, which I did. I would have preferred pilot holes for the screws in the back, but the screws that went into the more finished sides had holes. I did have some problems getting the top of the doors to retract because I put the front door in first, but aside from that the doors were easy to install. Just make sure you hit the right track. They roll very smoothly. One of my doors has a scratch on it, so I put it in the back to hide it. Not something I am going to bother returning, though. If I couldnt hide it, I would have asked for a replacement.
I bought it to be a TV stand and unfortunately my DVD player is older and larger and it is too narrow for me to fit the DVD player inside and use the doors, so I had to put it on top. That was my error for not measuring better and taking into account the cables that come out the back of the DVD player and that inch or two they need spare. If you have a smaller BluRay or DVD player or other gaming console, youd probably be fine. I plan to put a 32 TV on top and I think it will be sturdy enough for that. In the meantime, I put my DVDs inside. The shelf is and you could buy another shelf/supports to add more storage. Overall a nice cabinet.
I did not have a drill, but I did have a ratcheting screwdriver. You will want something like that because the back in particular has a LOT of screws and it will hurt your hand after a while. A manual screwdriver will be more difficult/painful.
I was able to put this together by myself in about an hour or so. Easier than and better quality.
Good Looking Cabinet
