I had gotten a dresser, nightstand and headboard in this salt oak style and liked it so much I wanted to extend the look into my living room. My TV is the exact width, so this stand is PERFECT. All the shelves are adjustable, so there's plenty of room for game consoles, DVR, PC, etc. I have a subwoofer and an ACER PC (the acer is 16.5in tall) and both fit perfect in the middle. The doors are both real, no facades. Instructions, like everything else Sauder (from my experience) is well detailed, easy to follow and took about 1.5 - 2hr to assemble -however that includes my OCD need to inventory check every single detail before I begin and sort all the parts, count them etc. This 15 minutes makes all the difference in assembling this kind of furniture. It IS heavy, so you want the final assembly steps really close to where it's going to go, especially if you're working alone as I was. If you have 2 people on it, moving it is way easier as is maneuvering it without risking damage. This was no big deal, however. I love this look, just remember to take off the stickers, there's some that I missed so every time I look at it or show it to a guest I find another one I forgot to remove!Yes, it IS particle board, however it is very well made, and dense. The only struggle I had with this one is a couple of the horizontal brace/board/skirting requires being slid into place vs the usual screwing or nailing and that was the only place I had issues with it being particle board (splinters, difficulty because of length and working solo) so I ended up clamping it to my work table for leverage, got work gloves, and it was fine.
