3.0 out of 5 stars A canoe???!!, July 8, 2005

I bought two of these little media cases because they would hold 231 CDs - lots of storage for a decent price (plus a free shipping promo). They each came triple boxed (a bit excessive, but recyclable), well packed, and the first went together without a hitch. Then - a major design flaw (for me, anyway) became quite apparent. The two decorative front edge pieces, which give it the "canoe" name (right on the box!), are not very practical. Picture an oval shaped opening... edges, wider at top and base, on either side, that extend out over the shelves. If you intend to fill these shelves full of CDs, about 30 of them will be well hidden and rather inaccessible behind those front edges!! Fine for knick-knacks, but not CDs.
The second case was put together without those front edges. The now-exposed unfinished side edges are smooth and light enough in color to ignore, as are the small assembly holes (though I may fill them). At least there's now more usable, visible CD space!!!

3.0 out of 5 stars inaccurate product title, November 25, 2007

The product title stated it to be wood. In fact it is pressed particle board with a faux wood laminate finish. The pieces do not all come together tightly and leave open cracks in places. Overall the unit is satisfactory, especially for the price. I was naive to think that it would be a real wood product in relationship to the price, but thought that at least the sides and top/bottom pieces would have been real wood.

This is my second order for these cabinets. I've found them to be the ideal storage space for my DVD collection. In addition, the maple finish blends in well with my wood furniture. They are very sturdy and I hope to have them for many years to come
My wife also likes to add her knick knacks to any open areas on the shelves. It gives her a chance to add her collectibles, and at the same time gives the room a very "homey" look. The cabinets satisfy not only my needs, but hers as well. I feel that these cabinets were a smart buy.
