Prepac 3 Column Tall Storage Cabinet, Cherry & Black Storage Cabinet with 21 Adjustable Shelves Display DVD Perfect for Living Room, 8.75" D x 56" W x 51" H

This unit is very good looking when assembled and loaded. Although it's fairly sturdy, I added small corner brackets I found at a local hardware store to discreetly anchor each of the vertical shelf supports directly to the wall where they will be hidden by DVDs once loaded up. Assembly was not too hard, except for trying to nail on the 3-piece cardboard backing, which was tricky because of the thin areas involved and the tendency of the cardboard to move as you worked on it. I think there could be some improvement in that part of their design. I got the cherry finish, which looks great. Note that you cannot fill the entire unit with only DVDs - you will have at least one line of shelves that will only hold CDs, as that shelf will be too short for DVDs, but the unit does hold what they claim (even a few more). The manufacturer, Prepac, always ships units direct from the factory, so it really doesn't matter who you order it from, just go for the lowest price. Warning: the box is extremely big & heavy and it helps to have 2 people to carry it. But it was packed well to prevent shipping damage. Shipment arrived less than a week after I ordered it. I did not see anything this nice in local stores, so online shopping wins out here.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Great shelf for DVD/Blu Ray/CD, awesome have purchased three of these now and they are supper easy to assemble, great product 5 out 5.

Overall this is a good value. Having purchased 8 floor units & 2 wall units I learned a lot while putting them together. Before I start with assembly tips I want to say I love having my movies and CD's organized! I can now find any volume from my different collections.My first advice is to the manufacturer - clean the parts better! The box comes with a lot of saw dust included at no charge. Save yourself some agony and simply clean the parts as you unpack the box. I found this to be most effective. As mentioned by others the directions are not the greatest. I will include a few tips. The assembly of the main pieces is straight forward and relatively simple. The first struggle will be attaching the back. It's flimsy, but once attached serves it's purpose and looks good. I would recommend putting a couple of extra shelves in before attaching the back. This will keep the sides straighter which will help while nailing the back on. I also went to the local hardware store to get a few extra brads. Some packages came with too few, while some had too many. I laid the unit on it's face and nailed the bottom to the base. I then tipped it up and inserted quite a few shelves to keep all of the uprights straight. Next I squared the unit up - you can do this by measuring, but I used a carpentry square. The units aren't perfect so check both sides and average them. While holding this position I put a few brads into the top corners and the middle of the uprights. Just enough to keep the unit square and the uprights straight. I then tipped it back on it's face because it's much easier to nail the rest of the brads that way. Tip on nailing it - occasionally you will hit a shelf hole. You will feel this right away. Pull that brad back out and slide it up or down a little bit and renail. Also you will occasionally miss and be too close to the edges of the uprights. As soon as you feel the brad going in too easily pull it out and readjust the entry point and/or angle. Installing the back is the most difficult part of assembly, but with patience it looks great when finished.If you are placing these units on carpeting make sure to put the rear tack glides (feet) far enough from the back of the unit so that it won't rest on the tack strip under your carpeting. Otherwise it will be tippy, or need to be away from the wall. Feel the edge of your carpeting where it meets the wall. You should be able to feel the width of the tack strip. I installed my Tack glides about 3/4" from the rear of the unit and it worked great. The front guides (feet) can go as close to the front as you want.Lastly, I bought some angle brackets from the hardware store to attach the tops of the units to the wall. I screwed them into the side of the units and then set the units in position. Then mark the location on the wall of the hole. Pull the unit out and install wall anchors. Then attach the unit to the wall. This makes an incredibly solid installation. Enough that I'm not worried about a grandchild tipping the unit onto themselves. After installation I painted the brackets to match the wall (picture attached). You don't notice them. The plastic cable tie included didn't seem like enough to me.Overall I feel these units are a great value for the money and I would buy them again. I would absolutely give them 5 stars if the backs were a little easier to install and the parts didn't come covered in sawdust.

Very nice cabinet with loads of space. Bought it for a small movie room and set it up on a dresser to conserve space. Put our best dvds on it and found we still have over half to fill. It could also hold cds, pocketbooks and old vhs's, or other things. Very happy with this purchase. Would recommend!

Avoid at all costs. Very poor quality, cheap chip board, arrived with scratches and chips, packaging is poor. This is a $40 item sold for $180. Also is claim to hold 800 blu days, that's a downright lie!! It holds 540, others have made the same comment. Look is the Q&A the seller even responded it holds 800, outright scam by them, I will never buy another of their products.

Finally my old CDs and DVDs are visible and can be used again. Is furnishing my son's room -

This media shelf is amazing! The build quality is very good considering the price and the fact that it's made from compressed particle board. All the pieces fit together well and assembly was a breeze. We purchased this based on the storage capacity and the cherry finish, which matches the rest of our cherry furniture in the living room.We configured the shelves for maximum capacity, which meant creating separate shelf sections for blu-ray's and DVD's. Since blu-ray cases are shorter than DVD, we were able to get an entire extra row for blu-ray's by separating them from the DVD's. With this configuration, we can have 6 rows of blu-ray's with extra space at the bottom and 5 rows of DVD's with extra space at the bottom. Each shelf can store 34 standard sized blu-ray cases or 28+2 standard sized DVD cases* (The +2 being the ability to lay 2 DVD's flat on top of the others on that particular shelf). Although some reviewers report the extra space at the bottom as being "unusable", the fact is that you can store more movies there, you just have to lay them horizontal. If you have any qualms about doing that, then yes, you will have unused space. I use that space for the non-standard sized movies cases.Once assembled and loaded with movies, this unit becomes extremely stable and does not move. I did not have to secure it to the wall like some other reviewers have reported, nor did I use any shims. This is being used on carpeted floor in an apartment.TL;DR - Impressive build quality coupled with high storage capacity should make this purchase a no-brainer if you are in the market for a media storage unit.
