It is nice and was packaged well. Had to take 2 shelves off to use it solely for blueray and DVD cases. It between chest and belly button height (I'm 5'9" tall) so smaller than I thought honestly but works well. It does come with an anti tip strap you attach to the wall to keep it from falling all the way over and hurting anything. Verry nice product I would solidly recommend. You will need a hammer and a screwdriver (Drill if you super careful so you dont screw it together too tight or go off course and shoot a screw out the side.) It works great as a table piece in our home. It fits perfectly in our space.
There were a couple holes in the one I received that were never punched at the factory. I have bits a drills and was able to do it on my own, but if you don't have the tools then it would definitely be an issue. The shelves are a lot smaller than i though they would be too. I should have measured but looking at the photos made me think it would fit a full sized turn table. I have an Audio-Technica AT-LP120XBT-USB and it just barely fits, the legs all partially sit off the shelf. The wood screws that hold the shelves in seem to be about 80% the thickness of the shelves too which worries me that there might not be enough material there to hold up in the long run. Overall, I'd give it a 3/10.
-Update: the seller contacted me, I didn't contact them, and offered a replacement item. Pretty good service since I was just going to go ok with my day. It works great as a table piece in our home.

These seem to be good quality "soft close" hinges. They are VERY difficult to close with just your hands despite it looking easy in the listing video, but I was able to get it closed while being very careful not to pinch my fingers in the mechanism. There are no instructions in the box, but there is a picture in the listing that shows the hinge placement for different cabinet door styles (overlay, insert, or half/double overIay). From the picture, I'm not sure how you would line up these hinges with them fully open and still get the door to align properly when closed, and yet, I don't see how to attach them inside the cabinet with the door closed. I must be missing something? Once you have them screwed down, they would be much more easier to open with the added leverage of the door and cabinet, but getting it screwed into the right place on both sides might be a challenge without any template or additional instructions. You will need to already know what your doing with the installation. There are two elongated screw slots that allow you to place a screw and still adjust the hinge placement a little if you don't get them lined up perfectly, them you can place the remaining screws in the rounds holes to permanently secure it.
I like that these don't require any drilling to insert the hinge itself and can be installed flush mounted to a cabinet.
P.S. I have used other similar hinges in the past on a very small cabinet door (6"x 18") that caused the hinge plates to bend around the screws, but these hinges seem thicker in the plate area, which is good. It works great as a table piece in our home. Very happy with the purchase overall.
