This unit is rich looking and very solid, but before you buy, be certain to measure your components from front to back. This unit is not very deep. To accommodate my cable box (brand new) and my DVD/VCR combo unit (about 5 years old), I needed to drill several extra holes in the back to accommodate for plugs/cords. Before these holes were drilled, the front of my components were hanging out the front of the shelves, and the doors of the stand would not close.
