" ... 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. ... "
" ... He saw this particular media shelf and fell in love with 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. ... "
" ... I love this shelf because it holds so much but doesn't take up much room at all. ... "

" ... When I flipped it upright (carefully) the stress from the other screws broke through the particle wood!!! ... All were broke . ... "

" ... 2 side pieces had cracks through them. ... Several of the predrilled holes were not even completely drilled wide enough and some of the others had the finish removed around the holes. ... "
" ... 2 side pieces had cracks through them. ... Several of the predrilled holes were not even completely drilled wide enough and some of the others had the finish removed around the holes. ... "
" ... 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! ... "

" ... Easy to build and has a lag system to secure to wall. ... "
