" ... 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. ... "
" ... Needed all the space it provided. ... "
" ... Holds alot of media and is easy to assemble. ... A footprint of about 26" diameter is needed to be able to rotate it. ... "
" ... We have several larger media shelves in this design. ... The unit fits behind a door, and I'm very happy with it. ... "
" ... The cabinet itself is compact, attractive and will hold hundreds of CDs. ... "
" ... Very functional and holds plenty. ... "
" ... Other than that, the cabinet is good for an inexpensive cabinet. ... "
" ... The shelves are shallow and are perfect to hold essential oils, herbs and extracts. ... "

" ... However, the quality of the pressboard side panel was so shoddy that the mounting screw pulled out. ... "
" ... Insert expletive at this point. ... "
" ... When I flipped it upright (carefully) the stress from the other screws broke through the particle wood!!! ... All were broke . ... "
" ... their products do seem to last) but this time around, it seems they are skimping on the quality of materials to put this thing together. ... For example, the wooden dowels are replaced by plastic dowels. ... There's no wood glue. ... You have to shove the ridged plastic dowels into holes that seem to be too small to fit them. ... That seems to be the reason there's no wood glue: The ridges will hold them in when you wedge them in there. ... And because the plastic dowels don't fit as good as the wooden ones they have used in the past, it's hard to get the seams of this unit to close up. ... But it's clear they are skimping on materials here. ... The end result is functional but looks cheap and poorly made. ... "
" ... SCREWS ARE TOO TIGHT, CANT REMOVE THE SCREWS ON DEVIDERS ... "
" ... 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 product came broken and based on the low quality material of the exposed broken board I decided to return the product. ... "
" ... 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. ... "
