CD Tower Very Functional
slotreasures  from Central Coast, CA,  Aug 30, 2006
This was a good experience from start to finish. The product arrived in record time, undamaged, and was very easy to put together (less than an hour and no special tools or knowledge). All pieces were intact, plus you get extra shelf brackets. Note that the unit does not have built-in dividers like some CD storage units, which makes it more versatile. The adjustable shelves mean you can store DVDs and VCR tapes as well as CDs. I thought the finish (which perfectly matched my office furniture) was nicer than expected, and the entire piece looks as if it costs a lot more than it did. All together, I'm very pleased.

I had no use for the two towers purchased, so I gave them to my parents. My sister put them together, but on carpet, they seem to always tip over. Other than that, they look great and serve its purpose. I actually wish I would have kept them because I can use them elsewhere now. :-)

Value and Quality
dbtmckinnon  from Brandenburg, KY,  May 14, 2009
We needed storage for my son's video games....this definitely fit the purpose! Easy to put together. My son and I had it together in 30 minutes. The only thing to watch for is the backing nails. You have to really make sure you have everything lined up and the nails go in straight. I let him hammer a couple of nails and they went in crooked making a small dimple on the side. We have a small family room so the slim cabinet fit right in a corner.

Slim Media Tower
calypso47  from Winger, MN,  Apr 5, 2009
The product was received in excellent shape and extremely fast. The tower itself didn't look to hard to put together but the instructions were very confusing. Instructions actually showed everything upside down. I called a carpenter friend to come and put it together for me. I really like it and it goes with all my other furniture.

very nice
mabanks  from Austin, Pa,  Mar 30, 2009
My husband wanted something small for our bedroom this fits perfectly , He had it put together in no time very nice looking and there are no kids to rip and tear on it so it should hold up very well he has only CDs in it so its not like he put anything real heavy in it. It is just what we were looking for in this price range.

$39.95
daddidti  from California,  Sep 23, 2008
Easy to assemble, but for the quality it should have been priced at 39.95. No real wood at all.

not worth the money
homefrau  from Beaver FAlls, Pa,  May 5, 2008
It had glue on it and marks on the finish which did not come off . The overall condition of this tower was very poor. I would have returned it except it is a gift which we delivered to my grandson,and my husband who is a carpenter put it together at my grandsons apartment. I consider this a very poor example of a media tower. It was not worth the price,infact it was very overpriced.

Don't buy this product
baseballharry  from Louisville, kentucky,  Apr 19, 2008
They sent the wrong color, but the unit was too heavy to fool with a return so I went with the incorrect color. The I discovered that It was cheaply made, not easy to assemble and looks very chintzy. I'll sell it in a yard sale for $10 and cut my losses.

Very worthwhle
jan1113  from Monroe Township, NJ,  Feb 24, 2008
Product was not that easy to assemble but once done it looks very nice and is exactly what we needed. Please take into consideration that we are senior citizens( over 75) and I guess it may be a little more difficult for us to put this together. We feel that the value is excellent.

Smaller than described!

The tower is nice, but it's actually more like 4' tall, not as tall as described.

Media tower
raeby  from Sierra Vista, AZ,  Feb 15, 2008
We ordered 2 the second one had 2 broken pieces so we had to wait 2 weeks for the replacement parts. But they were nice on the phone and it was easy to tell them the problem and they said they would fix it. The back was very cheap and fell off when my 3 year old pushed it. So when my husband put the 2nd one together he used his staple gun and it worked much better. Overall though for what we want it to do it works great! I think we paid a bit too much for it, but it was the only thing around that would work and I had looked for months.

Just what I needed
divam  from Maine,  Feb 5, 2008
I have a small house and space for furniture is limited. This CD tower holds all of my CD's, with room for more, and takes up very little space. The unit came without the assembly directions, which initially caused me some dismay. However, I was able to figure out the assembly and had the unit up and running in about an hour.

Recommended, but with a caveat
Irene  from Oak Park, IL,  Jul 8, 2007
I gave the slim media tower only 3 stars mainly because of the time and frustration that went into assembling it. The holes in the wood were too small for the screws that came with it, and in addition, the holes in the top piece were drilled to accommodate dowels rather than the screws that were sent. I had to buy a drill in order to open up the holes in the top. I put the tower in a far corner, between 2 other larger pieces of furniture, so it looks okay unless you get close enough to see the shiny tops of the 4 screws on the top. I would recommend this item only if you don't expect perfection and if you have assembled enough furniture to know how to improvise if necessary.

This media tower, once completed, fulfills all aspects of its advertising. It's sturdy, nice to look at, and matches the textures of most pre-fabricated cabinetry, so that it blends in instead of standing out. However, putting it together is fairly confusing because of poorly illustrated and worded instructions. The main problem here is that the diagrams do not distinguish the top of the cabinet from the bottom, and the parts are not marked. One step of the construction utilizes the "twist and lock" mechanism that connects a horizontal piece to a vertical one. A screw is placed through one piece and fits into a metal retainer located in the other piece. Turning the screw 1/4 or 1/2 twist locks it into the retainer. In every pre-fabricated piece of furniture I've ever put together, these mechanisms are used to connect the base(bottom) to a side(wall) because of their strength and weight capacity. Since I could not tell which was the base and which was the top from the instructions, I assumed that this cabinet would follow the same design. Wrong! The "twist and lock" mechanisms here are used to connect the top of the cabinet to the sides - a waste of their holding capacity since the weight of the top piece - and any knick knacks that may be seated on it - places very little strain on the sides. The base is connected to the sides by means of 4 10X3" screws that fit into pre-cut holes in the narrow sides of the wall panels. These screws are strong enough to support the weight of a fully loaded cabinet without buckling, however it took me a while to figure that this was the base-to-side connection and not the top-to-side. Had the instructions clearly marked the base piece from the top, I would have saved a lot of time in construction.

Ok for what it is
pimama  from Memphis, TN,  Jun 18, 2007
Assembly was a bit more cumbersome for me since I'm not a very handy person. The price for the product seemed average - not an "overstock good buy"... but probably pretty typical for regular retail price. Box arrived torn and scuffed. I was concerned that the pieces were damaged, but they were not. I'm not wowed by the price/value, product quality or ease of assembly. That said, it holds my DVDs just fine.
