Triple Width Multimedia Storage Tower in Black Finish

I am quite impressed with the design of this, I mean how it assembles was well thought out... only thing I really didn't like is those thin backing boards you have to try to nail on with millimetre precision. They need a better way to help align it without punching nails through the sides of it. Otherwise you should be quite impressed with the ease of assembling it. Now only issue is trying to match it with the media you have. I really hate how bluray cases are not all uniform so someone with OCD it drives me mad when everything doesn't perfectly fit in symmetrical harmony. Yes, I'm referring to steelbook cases and those odd shaped cardboard cases, season box sets and other things that make you want to beat someone with a club! Trying to decide on shelf height when one is too big and another too small, working out the math of bluray vs DVD vs cd vs video game optimization and uniformity, I can't take it... so I ordered one for each... ok, much better. Oh right, about the stand! It's really a great stand, I love it a lot and it looks great, feels sturdy and everything else, but the reference pic they use is what would drive me mad... if that doesn't bother you, then your in a win win situation, otherwise trying to find that perfect symmetry and shelf height where everything feels just right and one with the universe takes some time.

Most importantly, this shelf is manufactured in the USA by Prepac. With that being said, the fitment and quality of the pieces and hardware of this shelf is much better than what I've experienced building similar shelves from overseas. There weren't any fitment issues with the pieces or location of the holes drilled. For the price, you're getting a great shelf even though it's particle board and "engineered" wood. The flatpack box it comes in is approximately 63 inches long, 7 inches wide and 7 inches thick and weighs about 60lbs, which is quite heavy. Easy to assemble as there aren't many unique parts for the brief instructions. As others have stated, use a little bit of wood glue on the pegs and mating surfaces to make the self more sturdy, not a lot is required, just a few drops. The shelves are configurable after the shelf is built very easily. Although the shelflets don't extend all the way to the backboard leaving a small 1/4 inch gap where small or thin items can fall through. Primarily meant for physical media in their cases. Configured for DVD's, you'll get 6 usable spaces per column with an extra smaller space as seen in the picture. For Blurays or Nintendo Switch game cases, you can get 7 or 8 spaces per column with an extra space. The shelf base is thicker than the shelves giving them stability and the unit comes with plastic feet that tack nail into the bottom base for hardwood floors. Handsome black finish that seems less prone to chipping verses other cheaper units i've assembled from overseas. It finally includes a zip-tie style wall anchor, important if you live in a household with small children or pets, for tip-over safety. As an assembly tip, the extra particle board piece you get in the box (which isn't used for the shelf itself) is actually used to stand the shelf face-down level as the top is slightly shorter than the longer base, helpful to have since the backboard is held in place with tack nails which are provided in the hardware kit.

Came well packed. Setup was easy and fast. Took about 20-min to put together. Very nice look. Holds my BluRays, CD's, DVD's, VHS and Cassette tapes. Going to need another soon. Very nice and worth the money.

Very easy to assemble, took me alone, roughly 40 minutes. Longest part was nailing the backing on and adjusting the shelves to fit the way I wanted them too. Sturdiness is not the greatest, it comes with a tie strap and a couple of plastic mounting brackets. Not ideal. I couldnt find them in the box, but I did find an old mounting bracket from another shelf. This one is metal, much more sturdy. Also the shelves have roughly a 1/2inch gap in the back. It doesnt matter for media, but if buying to use for something else, just know that the shelves do not go to the back and you cannot adjust them to move further back. Overall, I am very pleased with my order. Holds roughly 460 DVDs.

I assembled this shelving unit by myself in about an hour and a half. It was easy to assemble, all the necessary hardware to assemble it was included, and the product arrived a day earlier than expected and in perfect condition. I found it a little tricky to attach the backing without someone to help me hold it in place, but after sliding a book underneath to hold it up to the level I wanted, I was able to tack them in place at the top and after that it was simple. I liked the fact that the backing for this unit was sturdier than the cardboard that I`ve had as the backing on a couple of my bookshelves. I also like the little plastic "feet" that go on the bottom of the unit, as they made it very easy to slide the unit into place where I wanted it without scratching my hardwood floors. Rather than use the zip tie that was included to anchor the unit to the wall to prevent tipping, my husband simply screwed the backing of the unit directly into the wall just underneath the top shelf. (Since there is plywood behind our drywall, there was no need to search for studs and the unit is very secure.) I do not have to worry that the unit will tip onto one of my children. It holds all our DVDs, VHS tapes, and CDs with room to spare and it doesn`t come out far from the wall, so it doesn`t feel like there`s another bulky piece of furniture in the house. This unit is exactly what I was hoping for and, being a little bit obsessive about organization, thrills my little "a place for everything and everything in its place" heart.
