As always, Overstock ships promptly. I have owned one of these units for five or more years now and it works handsomely to hold DVDs (and anything else I shove onto it... I even put books onto it for a while.) Although it is not solid wood, it has withstood a 600 mile move and being put together backwards, as well as 100 lbs of books on the bottom few shelves. I have never noticed any of the shelves chipping or breaking and I have at least 20 more shelf pieces than I needed anyway, since I only use DVD-sized space instead of CD-sized space. If I recall correctly, it only took me about 45 minutes to assemble this item. However, if you are in a house that has settled at all into an uneven slant, you really will need to latch it onto the wall despite the nice base. I love how slim this unit is because it doesn't really clutter up a room, which is why I am buying a second unit very soon. The only thing that has happened that I didn't like about this unit is that the dowels get stuck in the holes sometimes (I guess maybe I put them in the wrong way or maybe it's made to be tight?) - I needed to use pliers in order to remove them without causing damage. The one I already own probably could not be moved from where it is currently latched to the wall (I have cats that love to jump on top, so I don't really have an option to leave it stand alone), but I am not easy on furniture and neither are my four cats! And, if I have to replace the old one, I am certainly buying another one of these since we're avid DVD collectors in my household. It supports having items on its top for display, also - I would say we have about 3 lbs of decorative pieces on top of the unit, and my 9 lb. cat doesn't seem to disturb it much, even when jumping off at full speed.

I have a large collection of DVDs and CDs I needed a media storage unit that would hold what I currently have with room to grow. I saw this unit on Overstock.com and thought it would suit my need. I ordered it and it arrived in less than a week. It took me about 2 hours to put it together ALONE so if you have someone helping it probably go faster. I am SO glad that I found this unit and I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a large media storage unit.

It was extremely easy to put together, was delivered right on time and look absolutely beautiful!

Pros: The shelves are easily adjustable to accomodate a large number of DVDs and CDs. Assembly is fairly simple. Looks good. Is relatively stable with a well designed base. Unit arrived quickly and was well packaged and complete.Cons: The unit is cheap. The backing is cardboard. The rest of the construction is particleboard. The shelves chip very easily. You need to be very gentle and careful during assembly. The plastic dowels will sometimes pop all the way through the paper vaneer. I don't think I got good value.

I have been looking for this for years, and have had no luck finding anything close to what I wanted. It showed up to my door three days after my order, and coincidentally it was my birthday. Thank you Overstock.com.

The cabinet looks wonderful once it is put together and up in the room. It is stylish and holds a large number of DVDs which was exactly what I was looking for. It was very easy for me to put together and put in place all by myself. My only minor 'complaint' if you can call it that is the smell/odor it gives off for a few weeks as the wood treatments air out. But I would still buy it again--it really looks great!

Seriously, this isn't a bad piece of furniture, not for what you're paying, but it arrived with a lot of factory scratches and gouges. Clearly there's no sense of pride in workmanship, and no sense that a consumer deserves a pristine product. Some of it could have been prevented with better packing material--even paper between the layers of parts might have prevented some of the dings. The 'finish' is very thin contact paper, and the 'boards' are loose-pressed wood composite, so it doesn't take much to cause damage. That being said, it does what it's supposed to, even though it's essentially disposable furniture that won't survive a move or last a long time. It fits paperbacks nicely and doesn't look bad from across the room. The shelves are narrow enough that they won't likely bow as badly as when there's a 30" distance between supports. My dissatisfaction is more about the nearly-universal attitude that damaged items are perfectly fine to ship, that the only consumers who deserve better are those who can and will pay more than the national median weekly wage for a single shelf unit. Wood has become expensive, fine, but that doesn't mean that composite materials have to be manufactured with sloppy carelessness. However, I know I'm old fashioned that way, and this is the best I'm ever likely to see from anything but the most elite of manufacturing companies. Thus, my neutral review. This really is about the best one can expect anymore, whether I like it or not.

The fatal flaw with this rack is that whoever designed it clearly didn't actually try putting DVDs on it. The 3 sections all have some "overhang" that covers up the DVD farthest to the left & right on each shelf. This is very annoying, and I ended up pulling them off and covering up the exposed particleboard with tape, but this solution is less than ideal. For the amount that this thing costs, I'd expect decent design (and actually would have hoped it was solid wood and not particleboard).

For the price paid, it is only somewhat satisfying. When it arrived, two left panels instead of a left and a right panel were in the box; and one of the middle panels had an important section crushed in. Through a bit of creative drilling on my part, I was able to assemble the unit without having to return it or send away for another panel to be sent. My apartment was such a mess, I needed the unit to try to see space on my floor not filled with boxes! Putting it together was a pain, the individual pieces look pretty cheap, but it does hold a great deal and looks quite nice when together. The only problem I have with the finished unit is that the front molding pieces cover the shelf space so that two DVDs or VHS tapes are hidden partially behind the molding, and thus it is difficult to get to those.

My sister needed something to put paper back books on and had recently purchased a regular book case... she decided she wanted to try this and wishes she had seen this one first. It is well made, the top does not have a lip on it so you can set some of your pretties up there for display and fits paperbacks just perfect. Very nice addition to the room.

We bought this because it was the biggest we could find for a reasonable price. It was easy to assemble, and holds everything beautifully. The materials are good heavy quality. The backing is kinda flimsy, but does its job. The one thing I didn't see anyone comment on is that the DVDs hang over the front a little, so the shelves are narrower than I expected. The DVDs are definitely secure though, no fear of them falling off.

Really great piece of furniture. Not hard to assemble, looks great when put together. Very sturdy and looks more like a classic library piece than just a media cabinet. Would definitely buy another if I had room for it.

I saw this product elsewhere for a lot more money and decided to check overstock.com instead of spending a fortune in the store...wow was I surprized at the difference in price!!! It was so worth the money!!! It is very sturdy and wasn't all that hard to assemble. Definately worth it if you have a lot of DVD's!

One of the two boxes arrived damaged, but the product was well packed that it was not touched. It took a while to put it together, but was pretty easy; just be careful putting the back on. The media center looks great and holds a lot of DVDs and VHS tapes. I can finally see what all I have in one place! The media center was definitely worth the price.

We have been searching for years for a reasonably priced rack for our HUGE CD collection. This one is perfect! Easy to put together, sturdy and good looking! The only thing that's inconvenient is the top row can't be filled up totally because the border comes down about an inch, trapping the CD's so they have to be taken out at an angle.

We have 2 in our basement - they are ideal to display my husband's model train engines!
