I use a Synergy triple 30 and a single 30 to fill in an eight foot entertainment "nook" in my living room. I have one drawer, one door and (since the triple and single sit touching) a pair of side panels. Finish is cherry with black posts. I use the back panels.
Have my 2 channel gear in the single, my HT gear in the triple. My Samsung 50" DLP on top. CDs in the drawer. Some albums in a space not used for gear.
I am very happy with the units. They look really nice and are rock solid. Mostly easy to put together.
Complaints (such that they are):
1) You have to plan ahead where and how to put things. It is difficult (for me)to change compartment sizes and locations due to weight of the units I would have to move on my own, and the amount of gear I am using in them(a mess of connections).
2) I want to add a door but it looks like I will have to take the triple apart to put it in as ALL the mounting hardware slips down slots in the posts. I would have to remove everything and then reinstall. Not worth the hassle at this time for a door. Something to think about if you think you may add or change things around later.
3) I found the drawer instructions and installation difficult to comprehend, but that may just be me. Everything else was relatively easy. Also, the back 20% of the drawer does not come out so I have trouble getting CDs out if I put too many in too deep. (I had the CD drop-in rack but I can get more CDs in without it.)
Other than these observations, a very nice and very adaptable unit at a good price (don't buy direct, you can find cheaper on the web).
