I wasn't thrilled with the industrial appearance of this system, but it worked great for about 4 months; then the CD player quit. When we tried to play a CD, it showed "Reading Disc" and wouldn't do more than that. Since we'd had it longer than 90 days, we couldn't return it to the local Target store where we had purchased it. It was still under warranty, so I called the company and was told to ship it to them (at my expense, of course) and they'd replace it. I no longer had the original packing material. When I found out that the cost of having it packed and shipped was a lot more than it's original cost, I decided to shop for a new system.
