i bought this video center for my son for christmas as well a ps2 to store and at first i did not think that it would fit in the drawer part but it did but the ps2 games do not fit on the top left and right slots because of the length of the games however they do fit on the sides where you would put the vhs tapes and that is where my son has added his games so you would have to be a little creative with it. i had seen a review where a lady had bought this item for her son and she was very disappointed once she could not place the games in the slots and stated not to purchase. everyone out there! do not listen to that its a must have and it does help with organizing your room area! and the price at the time during the holiday season i could not resist for $71.99 plus free shipping! WOW!

I was very excited when the box first arrived at our doorstep. My eight year old son and I managed to get the unit put together, after a little tugging to get some of the screws to go into place. We carried it up to his room, and put the T.V. and V.C.R. into place. My excitement turned to bitter dissapointment, however, when I tried to fit my son's PS2 games into the shelves desighned to hold CD's or VCR tapes. The PS2, and DVD cases are too big to fit into these slots. I had just not realized that they would not work with this model. The whole reason I ordered this unit was too try to organize some of the mess in his room, so this will not work for me. I will probably try to return it, and order the newer model.

The reason I bought this video center was for the storage. I wanted my kids to be able to easily access their games, movies, and game consoles/controllers. I was very disappointed to find that this system will do none of the above. First, the compartments in the front that are meant to hold CDs, DVDs and games are too small to hold any. In the picture, the CDs and movies are stacked horizontally which allows a lot of storage but in reality, you have to stack them vertically and can only put five or six in each compartment. Second, the two drawers that are suppose to store your consoles, etc. are not functional. The first drawer does not slide in and out easily at all. When you pull it out you have to lift it up and then pull and then it just tips forward spilling out anything that is on the shelf. The bottom shelf just lies on the floor and is barely deep enough to hold controllers...controllers that have the cords wrapped around them won't fit. My children have a PS2 and a Gamecube which is a big reason why I wanted this because I wanted them to be able to safely keep both in an accessible place. The Gamecube doesn't fit in either drawer. Needless to say I am disappointed but I will say a few positive things just to clear my conscience. My children have a 20" TV which fits nicely and I did like the slot made for the wires to thread from the drawers to the top. The video center does "look" nice especially when used with the video chairs I purchased last year (very happy with those!) and the most important thing, my children like it. But, for all those looking at this for their older children, try other options first.

This was one of the first things i asked to get for christmas.the entertainment center goes great with a vcr on the bottom shelf and x-box on the top.It had alot of room for movies dvds extra controllers and games,and it only took about two minutes to set up.

two words;the best

this thing is incredible it makes everything easier with whatching tv to playing video games i recommend this to all my friends they all have them for their 20'' tv they have their dvd player,vcr,tv,playstation 2,all the games and videos and dvds this thing is so cool but one thing i dont like about it is i dont like the coloring i want it all to be black and red but thats me and it needs more shelves to put stuff on like stereo equipment and stuff like that i think you should buy this product

I purchased this gaming/entertainment center for my son when he was only 3. He has a 13" TV/VCR and an original Nintendo system with lots of games. I thought this item would be a great addition to his room because it is sturdy plastic, easy to put together or move, and holds everything I needed it to. This item is not something an adult would want to have in his/her living area, like one of the reviews I read. I mean Step2 is a company that makes a lot of products for kids. Anyway, my son loves this product, and so does his 2 year old brother.

I purchased this item thinking it would be great for my 5 yr old's room. He has a 19 inch TV/VCR/DVD combo that will not fit into the space that was designed to hold a "20 inch" TV. If you have a modern TV with speakers on the side it will not fit!!!!! I purchased the item directly from STEP2 and they do not want to refund my shipping fees or pay for me to return the item!!!!

We thought this was very handy storage. It holds all our video equiptment just right.

this is really good for storing your games and everything like your dvd player and your dvd movies thats why i think you should get this now.

This looks like a great organizer, but with you people that have a x-box ps2 game cube and a dvd player you can buy cd cases that music cds come in and place the ps2 xbox and game cube games in those along with the dvds. It would be a bit of money depending on how many games and dvds you have though...
