This rack came in a small box with the parts needed for construction, no extra tools needed. The entire rack consists of plastic frame reinforced by metal bars for each shelf, making the entire thing seem somewhat weak or unstable looking. Comes with wall mounters which i didn't use, you'll have to consult with somebody else about those. But for the most part, the product is rather stable and my rack of ps2 games hasn't fallen down yet, which i say is a huge plus because it's a full 90 dvds. The shelves however themselves aren't shelves, it's just like, 2 bars pretty much, so they sometimes sit in the hole on the shelf layer rather than the shelf itself. I have not had any dvd topples or falls or real incidents with it so i say that's more or less a minor setback, but its still there.

At this point I am satisfied with this product; its compact, holds 90 dvds, cheap, and it works. May not be as nice as a real wooden media shelf, but hey, you get what you pay for.

Well it holds DVDs. Sometimes putting them on the shelf is annyoing, because the edge of the dvd may fall between the opening on each level (each "shelf" is comprised of a piece of plastic, a gap and a metal rod).

It was only $20 dollars or so, but it feels like something that should have cost $8 or $10 as I know you can find some made of particle board for about $30 that are much sturdier.

It is small though, and it fit perfectly where I needed it. It just feels a little cheap.

This DVD rack is sold by Atlantic, and made made by Mitsu, which is based out of India. I bought this rack because it was cheep and the reviews indicated it worked. I make my own furniture and I currently have many projects in the making. My wife asked for a DVD rack, which I do not have time to make right now, so we looked for something cheep that would keep the DVD's out of the floor temporarily. This rack worked just fine. I would like to address two issues I read in other reviews.

Assembly: It is much easier, when assembling anything to not tighten any screws, or bolts, until the entire project is put together. This allows for some moving room and it is easier to fix mistakes.

Tips/Falls easily: The first thing I noticed about this rack was that the base is the same width as the body of the rack. It stands to reason that once loaded with DVD s it is going to be top heavy, therefore it will fall over. It is designed to be screwed to the wall, but I wanted it to be free standing. I cut a plywood board two inches wider and two inches longer than the plastic rack. I carefully drilled holes in the plastic rack legs and I attached the rack to the plywood base. Now, the bottom base is wider, longer and heavier then the rack, so it stands up straight and it will not fall over even with the top loaded with DVD s. If you want to try this, be sure and pour water on the drill as you are drilling plastic. This keeps it from cracking. If you do not want to try drilling in plastic, you can strap it to a wood base board.

I bought this stand because of its smaller size to fit between a fireplace and a window and it works beautifully. The stand comes in a lot of pieces but goes together fast and easy. There are 2 wall braces that require being screwed into the wall. This makes it super sturdy.

This is not what I had expected for approx $25. If this were a $10 shelf I would be satisfied with the purchase, but I believe we should have received better quality for this price.

The shelf has a good appearance, and that's about where the positives end. It is made of a real light plastic. It does not stand well on it's own and needs to be anchored to the wall (anchoring hardware is included). The assembly is easy enough (yes, every bit of it needs assembly). I will say it will hold the 90 DVDs it advertises.

I believe it would be wise to spend your money elsewhere than on this product. I read other reviews and thought it would be worthwhile to purchase this shelf -- Wrong! As I stated, this is a $10 product. I had assumed the quality would match the price and I was incorrect. Look elsewhere. Learn from my mistake.

Not the sturdiest, but it looks nifty and gives you great and compact storage.

This item was very annoying. My roommate purchased it while in college. It was ugly, and fell over all the time, even though it was on a tile floor. It was hard to keep the dvd's standing up straight. In my opinion a worthless piece of plastic. Spend the extra money for a bookshelf style dvd holder. You will be glad you did.

I'M A BAD AT SPELLING FOR GIVE ME!!!
LETS FACE IT THIS IS A CHEAP PRODUCT. I WAS ABOUT TO TRASH IT. TOO MUCH SCREWING AROUND TRYING TO PUT DVD'S IN IT. THEY ALWAYS WANTED TO FALL DOWN THE GAP BETWEEN THE BACK "L" BAR AND THE FRONT ROD. THIS QUICK FIX MAKES THIS RAKE VERY USEFUL. THEY EVEN GIVE YOU THE STUFF TO MAKE IT WITH, THE BOX IT COMES IN IS PERFACT. YOU WILL USE THE PAPERBOARD BOX TO FILL THE GAP. THE LARGE RECTANGLE PEICES ARE ALMOST CUSTOM FITTED, ALLYOU NEED TO DO TS SHORTEN THEM. CUT OFF ALL TABS ECT. FROM THE LARGE STUFF. MESURE BETWEEN THE INSIDE VERTICAL UPRITES, BETTER TOO SHORT THAN TOO LONG. RUN A BEAD OF GLUE ON THE BOTTOM OF THE REAR L-BAR, LAY YOUR P-BOARD IN THE GLUE,
NO NEED TO USE GLUE ON THE FRONT ROUND-BAR THE PAPERBOARD JUST RESTS ON IT. WHEN THE GLUG IS DRY ITS READY TO USE. IF YOU DON'T DO THIS YOU WILL HATE IT, IF YOU DO IT'S A GOOD PRODUCT FOR THE PRICE. HEY!!! WHO EVER MAKES THIS THING READ THIS. WHO EVER THOUGH THIS PRODUCT UP IS A MORON. WHO EVER PUT IT ON THE MARKET IS EVEN DUMBER!!!

Looks cool. holds a lot of cds for it's space. But the flimsy plastic needs to be reconsidered.

This is by far one the cheapest made products on the market. Its not worth half of the price they ask for. Talk about the thinnest, most flimsy plastic made. Save your time and money with this product and buy something more durable. This is bound to break around kids or pets.
