This console is solidly constructed mostly from hardwood veneer panels. The top is veneer, but has a solid wood molding running around the perimeter. The feet are solid as well. The back panel has several openings in the appropriate locations to route cables through. The back panel is made from a dense cardboard, but I couldn't tell this was the case until I needed to cut one of the openings a little wider to accommodate an unusually deep stereo component. That turned out to be convenient as it can be cut with a box cutter if needed.

The black paint finish has a satin sheen and the wood grain if visible through it- quite nice for a mass-produced piece. Brushed nickel doorknob hardware finish is also attractive. This item is extremely well packaged for shipping and arrived in perfect condition about 1-1/2 weeks after ordering. It is not quite fully assembled however - the feet and door hardware must be attached. That took only about 15 min. including placing the shelves at the desired height. Dimensions of the two component compartments are approx 18-1/4" W x 17-3/4" H x 18" D (without the 3/4" thick shelves). The center compartment is about 8-3/4" wide. The door latches protrude slightly into this space which prevented my stereo amplifier from sliding in. I removed the latch (2 screws), inserted the component and then replaced the latch - problem solved.

The console gets all the components out of view, but they're easily accessible. It's a good piece of furniture for the price.

Bought this product from Amazon as they were very competetive. I received the product earlier that the delivery date promised by Amazon. It is a very heavy item so you will need atleast 2 people to take it out of the carton. The entertainment center itself is lovely. If you have a black TV it will match very well with it. It is a sturdy piece of furniture so you do not need to worry about how much weight it can carry. Definitely recommend this piece.

It was risky ordering unseen but all was well. Delivery was quick and polite, the entertainment console very securely packed and undamaged. Installing the shelves and doors was a breeze. It's pretty heavy and I assembled it in the middle of the carpet and used sliders to get it into position. Easy to do single handed with a bit of care. My gear [CD changer, amp etc] fits just fine but without a lot of extra room so check the measurements. The open section in the middle is a bit funky, you may or may not like it, but in my case it works to keep the remotes.
