4.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Value - Especially if you have carpet, March 6, 2005

The Elf Jr. is an awesome product! The build quality is phenomenal at this price level - Solid, nicely painted MDF; high quality steel rods; and well built plastic "feet" for the base.

For those of you with carpet, especially thick, non-Berber type carpet like myself, all of the nice media racks suffer from small feet and/or the height of the unit makes it difficult to get a solid balance on carpet. The feet for this unit are solid and wide enough and the unit is short enough to provide a very stable balance on just about any relatively level surface.

Oh, and to the reviewer who had trouble building the unit - I will agree that the manual really stinks, but if you follow the pictures and use a little common sense these things are easy to build. The first one took about 45 minutes... number two, which I built a few months later, took less than 30 minutes. If you rely solely on written instructions for putting things together, you may have a difficult time. If you can follow pictures and use a little intuition and common sense, you will have no problem building these units. I don't mean to belittle the prior reviewer, but I don't think his complaint was a fair assessment of the product.

Summary:

Pros:

Great build quality

Flexible Uses

Stackable (built for wall anchors, too)

Solid base for stability

Cheap!

Cons:

May be difficult for a few non-visual people to build

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple, effective cheap, what more could you want?, September 15, 2005

I recently purchased three of these shelves (on clearance at a local retailer) after spending a good hour browsing through 20-30 different CD & DVD storage units, measuring and re-measuring walls and ceilings, etc. The per disc/DVD cost on these is very low (10 cents per CD, 20 cents per DVD). There's not much to them, but I have three stacked (7 feet high!) and it is still very stable, even on carpet. The kit includes hardware for free-standing, wall mounting, wall supports, etc. and the rods can be installed in numerous configurations to fix a combination of CD/DVD/VHS/etc.

All in all an excellent buy!

Very nice looks, sturdy, and easy to put together. I am actually planning to get another one and build a "threesome" out of the two racks and the extra rods they come with. Why extra rods? You can set it up with 4 shelves for cd or with three for dvd, leaving some spares. Nice product.
