5.0 out of 5 stars
compact, useful, unobtrustive, March 12, 2007
I like this CD rack -- I like that it's compact, and I like that it's aethetically neutral: the matte black wire makes the CDs look like they're suspended in air.
The base is a little large, making it a little difficult to place two of them side by side, but that's the only thing that could possibly be considered 'wrong' about the item -- and without the size of the base, the rack wouldn't be stable, so...
I like that it provides different sized shelves, so collections fit as well as normal-sized CDs.
I own two of these. If my CD collection grows beyond them, I'll buy another.

Excellent Medium Capacity CD/SACD Storage, June 20, 2007
This is a superb CD rack for the space conscious music lover who wants to highlight their CD/SACD collection (or a portion thereof, for those with larger libraries) in a clean, aesthetic manner.
The well constructed rack arrives as four pieces (2 base halves plus two rack halves) plus instruction sheet in a 26" x 6 1/2" x 6 1/4" shipping box. Styrofoam and cardboard inserts provide reasonable internal protection during transit, as long as shipping incurs no serious damage to the box sides.
Assembly is simple, requires no tools, and consists of plugging the two rack halves together (the lower half's socket ends accept the upper half's rod ends) and to the optional base. Alternatively, you can omit the base and wall mount the rack using the supplied screws and drywall anchors.
I really like this tower's minimal, modern, matte black look, as it allows you to store your discs in full view while not detracting from the room's other more interesting design attributes.
I used the base and placed the unit directly on a hardwood floor, a configuration that provides reasonable stability as long as neither children nor pets test its limits!
All in all, I highly recommend this product and am similarly pleased with Amazon's pricing and delivery.

4.0 out of 5 stars
good--but with a problem or two, that is (three and 1/2 stars), March 6, 2008
This Atlantic CD storage rack makes attractive CD storage a reality. It requires little assembly and the modern design gives it a sense of refinement that you don't always get with a CD storage rack. The rack could be placed in a corner; but perhaps putting it in a more attractive space will work for you. The rack is compact although the top can get a little tipsy at times; I use this rack but I leave the top few rungs empty just to be very sure it won't tip over. That does disappoint me and I will have to take off one and one half stars for that problem.
One plus is that you get to choose between resting this on the floor (which I did) or you can mount it on a wall. You might want to mount it on a wall if there are children or pets around so that they don't get into it too easily! It's also rather affordable; for the price I would estimate it holds about 75 to 80 CDs comfortably on the rack "shelves."
There are a few shelves that are larger to accommodate two CD sets or CD box sets; but there aren't many of these larger shelves on the rack. If you have a lot of CD box sets I would recommend you try another type of CD storage rack.
Overall, this attractive, easy to assemble storage tower houses CDs very well and the minimalist, modern design gives it a handsome appearance. It goes particularly well with modern or contemporary décor and it lasts forever (mine's about two or three years old already). The rack is easy to move about as it is only six or seven pounds at the most when empty (Amazon says it weighs 10 pounds); and you can even place it in a closet if you wish to keep it there for any reason.
