This is exactly what I was looking for. I had a whole bunch of DVD's and CD's that I had piled in a cabinet under my tv set - Now I can easily find the DVD I'm looking for and everything is well and neatly organized. Packing and Shipment were perfect.

Ran out of room on my other media shelf, so I decided to order this one for it's width, which fits perfectly between the TV stand and the wall. Would have liked it to be one shelf higher, because it is the lowest shelf in my living room, but that's a personal preference. The DVD shelves are also not the same height; I have all the shelves used for DVD-sized boxes, and the second and fifth shelves do not hold some taller DVD box sets that I have, while the other 4 do, which makes alphabetizing with OCD a little difficult. The reason it loses a star though is because both Atlantic Oskar shelves I have bleeds dye. When putting the shelves together, my hands were dyed blue, and I had to wipe down all the surfaces because some surfaces have a lot of residual dye. Even then, every time I dust it, it turns the paper towel blue. If they would fix this problem, I would no doubt give it five stars.

Great finished product. Out of all the DVD racks under $100 I looked at this one looked the best and I was not let down.
Its laminated MDF, which is what everything is apparently made of these days, but it does look very nice. I wall mounted mine and would not suggest mounting it the way they suggest. It is much more secure if you mount the tabs UNDER the top piece so stick out the back between the top panel and the back panel; this way the weight is on the metal tab and not on the screw.

Instructions did not indicate direction to lay out construction on floor... had to take apart and re-fit after several steps. Composit wood is medium low quality, and began to shred when screws were installed. A bit pricey for the quality. Do NOT use power tools! However, after completion, and storing CDs, it works just fine. Timely delivery, good packaging and excellent shrink-wrapped parts container (screws, nails, brackets, etc.)

The directions for this are extremely vague, so I'd encourage any beginners at this to be extra careful putting this together. First be sure all the non-painted portions of each shelf are facing the right direction, which I did. The verticle pieces, you need to be very careful to have the holes facing the inside for your shelves.

I THOUGHT I had a lot of CDs -- but this shelf swallowed mine -- can't wait to fill the shelves. It was delivered brand New although I thought it would be used. Transaction went very smoothly and I received it in a very timely manner.

The adjustable shelves make it very useful for someone who has VCR tapes, DVD's, and CD's to store in one case. It has held together very well so far and looks nice.

We ordered this for our son's birthday. When it arrived the box was damaged. Upon opening the box to assemble the product we found broken pieces. We also noticed that the package with the nails, and small pieces was already opened. The package material made a complete mess. We decided that the product was too damaged to assemble, and we returned it for a refund. We ordered another one from another website, and it arrived in perfect condition. It is a nice DVD/CD storage shelf, and our son likes it a lot.

Great packaging. Easy to assemble, but make sure that when you are putting it together that you dont put a piece in backwards! I did this and put the entire dvd stand together and had to take it all apart and do it all over. Looks very good hanging on my wall, was a little hesitant to hang it with the small screws provided, but they are doing their job perfectly. Another thing, dont clean the unit with all purpose cleaner....the color will bleed off onto the towel!

This product was easy to assemble with clear instructions! There were no missing pieces or damaged parts... and it looks great! It's true to size and is definitely more of a black color than espresso... which is what i thought. Great for someone with a big DVD collection!
