Great cabinet!
We love this piece. It is a good size to hold all of your electronics as well as some DVDs, CDs etc. It is different than normal entertainment centers and we've gotten many compliments about it. The only two notes are that you need to clean off the black glaze on the inside. It comes with 'extra' on it and you need to wipe it down inside with a damp paper towel or the black will come off on whatever you put in it. Also, there is only one hole out the back. We may add another so we can minimize the length of the cords. Otherwise, we love it and would get it again!

Unique item
We bought this for our entryway and love it! It's very unique and we get compliments on it all of the time. very functional and sturdy. It is VERY rustic (lots of imperfections), but that adds to it's character. Only complaint is the smell of it inside...a year+ later it still is stinky when you open the doors (think stain/paint fumes smell)...but otherwise I love it!

Love this!
We bought this as a tv stand for our family and it is beautiful. We love the color and the somewhat rustic feel of it. Many people have commented on what a great piece it is.

Great Buy...
I just got this piece within the past few weeks. I have gotten several compliments on it. The storage space is adequate for the cable box and DVD player. I will say that it looks much more red than some of the photos on the website. The actual color looks like the photo where it is filled with wood. If the color is really important, have a look at the floor model in the store. The finish is kind of "distressed", which is exactly what I wanted!

Great storage cabinet
I bought this cabinet to use as storage in my office. It looks great and helps keep everything organized.

Love this cabinet!
Purchased the Rojo Media Cabinet as a stand for our television. The red color is what really drew our eye to this piece of furniture. And when friends see it in our home, they all love the color and style.
Since getting the cabinet, we are re-doing our living room and repeating the red color with accessories.
Just love it!

Finish comes right off!
Do not buy this piece! I have purchased many things from Crate and Barrel that I have loved. However, there seems to be a major design flaw with this piece of furniture. The top red coating scratches off just by setting something on it or lightly brushing with the finger nail. The black finish will come all over the hand and arms like chimmney soot! I don't know what they color this thing with, but it does not dry. I wiped it out 3 times, but the coloring inside still comes onto the arm and hand. I could not use it to store anything or it would get the black oily powdery finish on it. Plus, there is a divider limiting space and the pegs that come with it don't all fit. It makes the shelf wobbly. I understand the piece is meant to be rustic, and the paint is uneven, but it should be functional. Some of the black pigment was even on the glass front. I don't think that was intentional. For looks alone I might give it a 3 or a 4. It definitely has that rustic look, if that is desired. It is non functional though.

Veneer cracked after only 2 1/2 years.
I purchased this cabinet in May, 2009, and in December, 2011, I noticed a large, circular crack on the left side, about the size of an apple, that was clearly due to the veneer panelling (that lays on top of the actual wood) drying out. For $600, I did not expect the cabinet to crack after only 2 1/2 years.

Love it!
I've had my eye on the Rojo cabinet for about 2 years, and finally purchased it for our living room. It looks great in our room, and I couldn't be happier.

Disappointed
When I first laid my eyes on the Rojo pieces in the store, we made a decision to purchase. I needed some color in our living room and the Rojo collection definitely accomplished this. When it was first delivered i was so excited and it fit perfect. I did not use this piece as a media center, rather an accent piece of furniture for storage. Looks and function are perfect. The only negative I have is how easy it scratches. For the price, I was expecting much better durability. Overall it is a good piece of furniture, but quality does not merit the price. Because of this, we will not be purchasing the other Rojo piece and we are currently in the market for something similar.

Great Piece
We use this for our television and components in our guest room/office. It is a great pop of color and much better than other traditional "media cabinets" that end up looking like big black or brown blobs.

great look
Purchased for a new flat screen TV in a small den.
Red color made the entire room pop out! Height is perfect.

Good small cabinet
We bought this knowing it was exactly the length of the outside frame of our 46" TV, but ultimately decided it looked funny so I bought a larger cabinet and moved this over to be game cabinet. It is very pretty and the cutouts are right for media cabinet but just looks like a nice display/bookcase. Great color.

Exceptional Piece
I have looked around for an interesting media piece that will hold components without looking like a big brown box. As soon as I saw the finish on this piece I knew it would be exactly right. It has an almost handmade look and is kind of primitive in hardware but has excellent proportions.The red is very rich without looking cheap like some bright colors do. I think it also bridges traditional and contemporary very well since I have both! I would definitely recommend this piece, it is very well made and looks great in the living room.

Goes great with the tall cabinets
We purchased this item about a year after purchasing two of the large rojo cabinets. Since our t.v will not fit on the media cabinet--and that would be too much rojo in one area--we planned to use it as a buffet/end table separating our family room from the breakfast area. It works great to hold all my cookbooks and is nice and long to use as an end table behind the couch. The one draw back is that is scratches easily; this helps with the antique look but we also have to be careful because we have two very active dogs and one likes to put her paws on it when she sits on the couch.

Gorgeous Piece
I bought this unit as a TV stand for a 42"-flat screen. I was nervous about the stability, given that it's only 18" deep, but there was no reason to worry! The furniture delivery crew took it out of the box, and it was immediately clear that this is a heavy, stable piece of furniture. The wood is solid, and the finish is beautiful. It looks like a genuine antique. There is a slight crack along the top where the wood seams meet. If I were shopping in a store, I'd select another one instead (of the same cabinet), but I didn't want to deal with the hassel of returning it for what seems to be a minor defect.

wood split in two months
Only two months after receiving this, the top has split along the wood's glue line. Cheaper than cheap. A real disappointment. Also, TiVos don't fit in it - nor do some CD players and stereo amplifiers. Beware.

Keyword: storage
The cabinet is beautiful, sturdy and functional. My wife and I bought it to house all the gadgets that I have running to our 46" LCD: surround sound receiver, PS3, Cable box, Apple TV, Xbox 360. The cabinet isn't quite deep enough for the receiver, so if we close the door it puts pressure on the HDMI cables plugged into the back and on the front volume knob.
Also, it should be noted that this is made of real wood. Wood is an insulator, so whenever we I have any of the equipment on, I have to leave the doors open, otherwise I fear I would run the risk of damaging the hardware. I learned this once while watching a blu-ray on the PS3 and the fan noise could be heard through the cabinet. I opened the door and it felt like opening an oven that was on.
It looks amazing and it's solid! Just be careful because even your cable box is gonna get hot in this thing!

Beautiful piece of furniture
This was delivered on Saturday to my home and I love it. It fits great in my TV room and all the video/audio pieces I have fit great. I love the look of this piece of furniture, it looks like an antique piece but it's brand new! My only one suggestion would be in addition to the hole for the wires on the bottom shelf that an additional one would be provided on the top shelf, it would make it a lot easier to get everything in place easier. Other than that I highly recommend this and again thanks C&B!

Love this piece!
Been looking for a cabinet to sit beneath our new wall-mounted TV, and fell in love with this immediately. Everyone who walks into the room notices it right away and loves it.. Well built, beautiful, lots of storage for organizing DVDs, games, cable box. One word of caution (which I'd read in another review): Interior is not very deep, so measure carefully. We had to cut out the back of the unit to fit the DVD player. Not a big deal, and worth it still. Remember to add a couple of inches to the stated dimensions of cable box, etc. for connections, cords. My favorite piece of furniture in the entire house!
