do the side wood doors open for storage or are they just for show?

They do open and have shelves, however, the compartments are narrow enough that we don't really use them much at all. Once something gets pushed back in there, it is easy to forget it is there and not very convenient to access.

Honestly we didn't keep it long enough to know because we only received one box of the two boxes necessary to assemble it. I think they do open because we ended up buying another media center similar to this one. The only problem with this transaction was buying it from Amazon Marketplace.

Yes, the side doors do open I use the three shelves on the inside for decoration and to hold DVD's. Very nice entertainment center, I have gotten lots of compliments on it.

Yes, the doors are beveled on all sides. We installed 2 in my daughter and son-in-laws apartment. They look great and the newly-weds are very happy!

no, the back panels are solid. it also seems kind of narrow to house those items, also, unless they are small and rectangular NOT square.

They are open on top and right side. Left and bottom are sealed. Hope that helps.

There is only 1 door, on the left side. The shelves are open. I really like it. The size and Mission style fit in my bedroom nicely. My handy man had no difficulty in putting it together.

Yes, there are shelves on both sides. The back has cabinet doors with a lot of storage space.

Yes. The doors attach with hinges to the stand once the rest has been assembled. You would be able to see the holes where the attachments are supposed to be but those holes are on the interior of the shelving space so it would look fine in my opinion. This is an excellent quality piece and the doors do not affect the structural integrity of the piece.

Yes they do open. There is a shelf in lower right cabinet and drawer pulls out. Upper right opens and has a shelf. Bottom doesn't open but has nice size storage.

yes there is a door on the side, I asume its for these purposes, I have not smoked or used charcoal yet.

The doors and sides are. However the back will push out if you shove things hard against the back panel.

Yes, the drop-down storage opening is in the back and opens with a key. There is also a matching rear door as the front.

No, but there would be visible notches that are pre-cut where the hinges go. Seems like you would want to come up with a way to hide / fill-in them. The notches are on the front right side (when facing it.)

No. They only open far enoug to be parallel to the front of the armoire. Hope this is helpful!

Yes the sides are open, I have a wooden frame around mine with decorative access doors to get to the plumbing.

They are placed on top after it is pulled out. Half of the cabinet shown is filled with the four or five leaves, so don't plan on that space for storage. It is real wood, super quality. The center support drops down.

the doors appear to be solid wood. The rest is a veneer over either plywood or partical board.

They open on each side. They are like a push in with a magnet type if that makes any sense :-)
