I bought this cabinet for the DVD storage, in spite of some negative reviews about the doors not holding up over the long haul. It went together nicely, though the instructions are somewhat lacking in making it clear which sides are the finished edges. I read some reviews with complaints that it's not "real wood." Well duh! I've had plenty of other particle board furniture and this one seems pretty solid to me.Door storage - there are no straps to hold your DVDs on the door shelves. If you don't want them to fly off when you open to door, you will have to pack each row tightly.Assembly:I was able to assemble this myself. It took me a couple of hours. A mid-length phillips screwdriver and hammer (to attach the back cover) was all I needed. Keep in mind this cabinet is quite heavy, so it will pay to put it together near it's final location unless you have some extra help to move it later.For me the doors were the hardest part to install. They are quite heavy and therefore hard to hold in place while attaching the hinges to the cabinet. After nearly wrecking the screw holes by mounting all the hinges on the doors first as instructed, I found mounting the middle hinge on the cabinet and the other two on the door worked best for me.The unit comes with a strap (zip tie) and mounting brackets to attach it to a stud in the wall. At first I wasn't sure why this was needed, but I remembered an old VHS cabinet we had with door storage. When both doors were opened, the unit would tip forward. This unit seems pretty stable, even with the doors loaded, so I didn't install the strap. I suppose if the doors were loaded and the inside was left empty, there could be a tip hazard, so you may want to use the mounting strap.Packaging:The cabinet came in two very sturdy boxes with sturdy foam in the corners for extra protection. While the all the pieces were all undamaged, they were covered with particle board sawdust. It was everywhere, on every board, and was quite the mess to clean up. At first I was worried that this would mean the unit was going to be in bad shape, but surprisingly, it was fine (see photos).While I don't speak Spanish, I did notice the instructions were in English and French only. It's possible someone who speaks neither could still assemble the cabinet from the pics, but I'm glad I didn't have to do that.
