4.0 out of 5 stars
DVD storage with form and function !!!, July 13, 2007
This Atlantic DVD Storage Case makes attractive DVD storage a reality. The cherry wood base and details at the top add a sense of refinement that you don't always get with a DVD storage rack. The rack fits in a corner, a closet or just about anywhere as it is compact yet big enough to hold up to 74 single case DVDs in a compact, vertical space.
In addition, the wavy black colored steel rods going up and down the sides of the DVD rack are tastefully designed; this is one DVD storage tower that won't ever be an eyesore! The wavy design fits in especially well with modern or contemporary décor.
This DVD storage rack doesn't hold many DVD "double sized cases." It can hold two or three of the double sized cases on each level of the tower--and with nine "levels" that's about eighteen double sized cases at the very most. Another problem is putting it together. I was able to assemble Atlantic's CD wave storage tower myself--but not so with this DVD wave storage tower. Some of the small plastic parts can be tricky to handle. Sigh. I had to ask my handyman to help; although to be fair he was able to assemble it in about 20 minutes.
Overall, this attractive storage tower houses DVDs very well and the cherry wood base and details give it a handsome appearance. It goes particularly well with modern or contemporary décor and it lasts forever. The rack is easy to move about as it is only six or seven pounds at the most when empty; and you can even place it in a closet if you wish to keep it there for any reason.

Good for an apartment or dorm, May 18, 2009
I ordered this for my house as a quick fix to my rapidly growing anime collection. Now that I have moved into a new apartment, I think this is the perfect thing for it. It does fall apart if you try to move it, though.
It is easy to assemble and the only tool you need is the little metal thing that comes in the box. It did take a little bit of doing to attach it to the base and put the little "stoppers" on the end to prevent it from detaching because they weren't technically screws, so they had to be twisted and pushed on at the same time. Also, it took force to get the balls to go onto the top end of the rack, but once I finished with it, it looked wonderful.
I have a lot of anime, and it will hold some boxed sets (like the slimmer ones that unfold and have all of the DVD's arranged that way) but will not hold the larger boxes that hold seperate DVD boxes ("artboxes"). I don't have many of those, though, so that wasn't too big of a deal. But, of you have a lot of these, you'll probably want to skip this model.

Well worth the price!, January 23, 2008
I purchased two of these and love them. The modern design fits in with my decor and they are attractive. The only reason I did not give it five stars is because of the assembly. It only took me about 10-15 mins to assemble however it is difficult to attach the base with the plastic nuts (Hard to get them threaded) and the special tool they give you to tighten these nuts is made of flimsy metal that bends out of shape when you use it. I chose not to attach the little rubber feet and I think that helps it be more sturdy. If you are worried about it tipping sideways, you could also use an adhesive cable lock (those little plastic circular things that hold a/v cables or electrical cords that stick to the baseboard/wall). You could put one on one of the rails and stick it to the wall. The DVDs will hide it. Just an idea. Overall I was very pleased with this purchase.
