i’ll be very honest. it’s not a very bassy cd player and it’s only loud enough for one person. the first time i used it it scratched up my cd’s a lot. it also doesn’t have clear instructions on how to set the time and alarm clock if you want to use that function. it took me a good half an hour to figure out how to build the stand. i still love it though!!! i use it everyday and it’s made my days more enjoyable. you basically get what you paid for essentially.
