Another reviewer recommended checking dimensions of components to make sure they would fit. I thought that was good advice, so I did. My DVR is 14 inches deep and the description lists the depth dimension as 16 inches. Based on that, I ordered the cabinet.
Turns out that 16 inch depth is the outside top surface of the cabinet, but the shelf the component sits on is only 12 inches. My DVR would not fit, so I cut a hole in the rear panel. Not really a big deal if you have the saw to make the cut.
Other than that, this is a good cabinet. Not real wood, but I expected that. It is easy to assemble, and unlike some other cabinets reviewed here on , the directions are excellent.
It was missing one small part, so I called the company for a replacement. Surprise!! I didnt get put into voice mail jail, the person I spoke with was helpful, and the part arrived in a few days.
The only reason I didnt give it five stars were the misleading dimensions, and there wasnt enough glue included. No problem for me as I already had some wood glue, but if you buy this cabinet, I suggest you purchase some cheap Elmers Wood Glue before starting.
Described dimensions are misleading
