1.0 out of 5 stars Poorly made Junk, December 22, 2007

This review is from: Vaultz Locking CD File Cabinet, 4 Drawers, 15.25 x 14.00 x 14.50 Inches - Black (VZ01049) (Electronics)

I am really disappointed in the poor quality of Vaultz! I bought 2 of the 4 drawer units, and they looked so nice in the photos. But they are cheaply made with a black "sticker" covering the outside, and the drawers. Sort of like a big label. I really fought with them to get the drawers open because the underside of the drawers got horribly stuck to the material under it. So far 3 of 8 drawers are stuck or very difficult to open. The underside of the drawer has a sticker which will for sure get rubbed every time the drawer is opened & closed. Think about it. The bottom of the drawer is going to wear, especially under the weight of a bunch of CD's in the drawer.

This black sticker is the same sticker that covers the front & sides of that drawer, but only 1/2" of the bottom edge. So when it gets rubbed a bit, the sticker rolls - the sticky glue gets exposed & sticks tight to the cabinet. Just really lame. As part of getting the drawrs unstuck it's probably that the black covering will get peeled up at the bottom edge, ruining the front too. Or you might tear the drawer apart trying to get the *&%#$ thing open.

Very poor design, and very poor construction. For the price I was expecting wood, metal, or even plastic construction, but it appears to be thin fiberboard covered with a black sticker. I could have accepted the fiberboard if the drawers were still working ok after the 3rd day. They do hold a lot of CDs, especially in clear plastic sleeves.

I recommend clear plastic sleeves over the white paper with circular window, and that white paper always hides the rim of the cd so you can't read some. The "3CDRice Diskeeper anti-static" clear plastic cd sleeves are great, and there is no need to label the envelopes, since you can see the cd inside.

It's amazing that there isn't more choices for mass cd storage like this. PowerFiles looked cool, but I hear they break quickly, and can't really take the weight of the number of cd's they can hold. My next solution is a bunch of wire CD storage baskets. Well made, but I need to add shelves to keep each row off of the baskets below it. And I needed to remove the magnets on one side that hold them together, or the baskets won't slide out like drawers.

Anyway, don't be fooled by the high price of Vaultz, they are cheaply made and lame. You're better off with a plastic or wire basket solution.

Having read all of the other reviews about this cabinet I was a little worried about getting junk. I'm happy to say the bad reviews about this product are unwarranted.

First opinions

Ok this cabinet looks great right out of the box. It's very well made and quality control is great. All of the corners were straight, the outside backing was smooth and even and it gives you a feeling of safety for your CD's.

Functionality

The four drawers all fit perfectly and slide in and out freely with no problems. Each drawer has a small lock on it which is a nice feature if you plan on moving this cabinet from place to place as it keeps the drawers from opening. The locks all worked well with no issues.

Overall

I'm happy with this purchase and would recommend it to anyone who has alot of CD/DVD's to store as this will provide and excellent solution. I also purchased some of the paper sleeves made by Vaultz and they work well with this cabinet.

One Small Issue

I've left this at the end because it was only a small issue. When I first got the cabinet it had a very strong odor to it which I atribute to the glue used in construction. I took out all of the drawers and let it air out for a few days until I no longer noticed the smell.

I run a small library and we use the vaultz drawers to house our cds, video games, and dvds. We open and close the drawers constantly throughout the day. There is no doubt in my mind that we work them more than anybody at home ever could. Not a single problem to date. With the price getting lowered, I had to grab another one today. Good storage idea for someone who needs a nice, efficient way to store and retrieve discs. My only comment would be I wish they offered a way to connect the 4 cd units to each other.
