" ... When I flipped it upright (carefully) the stress from the other screws broke through the particle wood!!! ... All were broke . ... "
" ... very cheaply made . ... "
" ... It came with slight damage, a few corners dinged and a few scratches. ... "
" ... Seemed all right to start with, but then fell off the wall because the hanging mechanism is poorly designed. ... Half-full, the particle board mounting piece on the back of the unit came apart. ... "
" ... The reason I only give it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the top and the sides of the shelves each have unnecessary molding that, while making the unit more stylish, also negates some of the storage. ... It's simple enough to not install the top moldings without any issue, however, the side ones will leave the bare particle board exposed, making the unit less attractive. ... "
" ... I was excited because of its small footprint, but unfortunately, it's very cheaply made. ... I had it nearly assembled, but when I went to place the final piece of particle board on the top of the tower, the pre-drilled holes were not large enough for the inserts provided. ... Without the top on the tower, the flimsy walls don't stay in place and the integrity of the structure is compromised. ... This is probably the worst piece of furniture I've bought for the money, even if the holes would have been drilled larger. ... Even the turntable is plastic! ... "
" ... Cheap not,worth the money locks don't work. ... "
" ... Difficult to put together. ... Hole for lock was too small and had to be drilled out. ... There were no holes drilled for the lock and the two screws for the lock were cheap and stripped easily. ... Thin finish over MDF makes it difficult to put together without damaging it somehow. ... Considering all these problems and quality of material, this would have been overpriced at $50. ... "

" ... I love that it folds up and doesn't take up that much space. ... "
" ... The assembled tower (without shelves) weighs about 90 pounds. ... Finally, like many other reviewers, I found that the shelves needed to be spaced at 9 inch intervals. ... This means six shelves can be installed in each of the four faces. ... I found that I was able to fit 18 DVDs on one shelf. ... "
" ... Holds alot of media and is easy to assemble. ... A footprint of about 26" diameter is needed to be able to rotate it. ... "
" ... Very functional and holds plenty. ... "
" ... Other than that, the cabinet is good for an inexpensive cabinet. ... "
" ... The unit is well made and allows me to store my cd collection in a much smaller space. ... "
" ... Box was HUGE. ... I set mine up for all DVD's and have probably 7 extra shelves. ... "
" ... The cabinet is sturdy and looks nice once put together. ... "

" ... Easy to assemble and looks great. ... "
" ... Fairly sturdy, pretty easy to assemble. ... "

" ... It uses a slab of particle board that hinges on another piece which keeps it mounted. ... "
