Goes together well and hold about 50 CD's per shelf. We ended up buying a second one with the two sections also. Matte black, nice design and looks good, not flimsy, but need to stabilize against the wall.

This is well made: the wood is substantial, the backing is more substantial than the diy bookcases I’ve bought, the shelves have grooves so they “seat” on the supports. The finish is well done, smooth, even, attractive. I’m very happy. (I’m a little puzzled that a reviewer found it flimsy…it’s better built than most of the diy furniture I’ve bought. Also — the instructions are good. The diy furniture I’ve bought has relied on illustrations, often small ones in order to fit the instructions on one page. I’ve often had to reassemble parts because I’ve missed a detail that would show me left from right or front from back, etc — that’s on me. But I did notice that these instructions will go the extra step to clarify something. And the illustrations are larger, and they used more than one page. The company does seem to care, and to have worked to make a good product. Very happy.

I very rarely write reviews, but based on a few negative posts, I wanted to share my positive experience. The shelves came in a well-packaged box. This is not fine furniture, but is very well made from medium-density fiberboard (MDF) and sturdy. The laminate surface is very nice. The directions were clear and everything fit together nicely. I am fairly handy around the house, but not a professional. Still, it seems like this would be easy for almost anyone to assemble in less than an hour. For the quality, I thought the price is very reasonable. Plus, it's made in Canada (soon to be the 51st state), not China. I set it up a few days ago and put my CD collection in it, and last night my wife commented on how great it looked!

We needed a cabinet for CDs and placed it inside a closet to keep them dust-free. This was the perfect size to fit in the closet, easy to assemble with lots of space for an extensive CD collection. I ordered them alphabetically to make finding what I'm looking for easier. It's a great buy for a very fair value. Sturdy material.

Always hated hiding rows of books behind each other on my old shelf. Now everything is easily visible and accessible.There were a couple of things that bugged me though.It’s not shown in the images on the product page, but the back panel is folded in half so there’s a line running down each side. It’s probably not very noticeable on the black version, but on the white version it sticks out.The structural rigidity also comes from nailing the back panel in place, so you more or less have to use it. I did try to use small corner braces in place of the back panel, but it was still a bit too unstable for my liking.

Horrible. This cabinet is not very sturdy and is made of very thin mdf (I am not against mdf when it’s a generally well designed item). Hard to make the cabinet level and straight. Nails in the back seem to be holding it all in place. What a waste of time and money.

At this point, I've bought and assembled 4 Double Width, 1 Triple Width and 1 Quad Width Wall Storage Cabinets (each are separate product listings on Amazon), to fill half a room with media storage, and I've been satisfied with Prepac's product. Each of the cabinets arrived without anything but the most minor cosmetic damage. All of the proper parts, hardware and instructions have been included, and assembly has been relatively simple. A power drill has been helpful to get the longer base screws into all of the vertical panels, but I have used a manual screwdriver to get them in as well. The composite board these are made from is relatively dense, giving the cabinets some weight and durability. The included nail-on gliders on the bottom helped me get the cabinets in place without scratching the floor. The cabinets are strong enough to completely fill with CDs, DVDs and or blu-rays without any bowing, leaning, or other concerns with the build quality. They're strong and stable enough, as long as they're against the wall.NOTE: These are made to be at least placed against walls, if not fastened to walls. For stability, the bases protrude about 3 inches in front and almost 2 inches on each side, but not at all in the back, so if not at least placed against a wall, it can tip over backward pretty easily. I've arranged my room to place 2 of the cabinets back-to-back and that's been stable. As for the hardware included to fasten them to walls, people seem to complain about these, and prefer finding their own solution for that. I've been fine with setting them along my walls, and back-to-back.The most trouble I've had with assembly is properly lining up and nailing on the hard paperboard backings and fitting the metal shelf pegs into the interior holes, as some of them can be pretty tight. I've used light tapping with a mallet and learned not to push them in all the way if they're hard to get in there, and that's worked well for me if I need to remove them to adjust the shelves.My all-over satisfaction with all of the various Prepac cabinets has been generally high. They do the job well, but don't reach my highest ideal. I decided to go with these after reading reviews and considering the alternatives, this seemed like my best option without spending a lot more, having shelves custom-built, et cetera.One thing I'd have really appreciated with the double-width and triple-width cabinets is if they were taller by the height of 1 or 2 CD sized shelves. That would make the cabinets the best size for CD, DVD and blu-ray cases to be placed on shelves vertically, meaning 9-10 CD case shelves tall, 6-7 DVD case shelves tall, or 7-8 blu-ray case shelves tall. The way these are, if you space the shelves for the height of the cases, you can have 6 blu-ray-height shelves with room left over, or 5 DVD-height shelves with room left over for 1 shelf of CDs. If you're not storing CDs in there, you can have an extra shelf where you stack cases on their sides, but another 5 1/2 inches of height would have gone a long way. As these are, the height is only slightly over half the height of my walls, but they still offer a lot of storage. The quad-width cabinet is taller, meaning significantly more shelving for movies.Here are my notes on actual, real world storage capacity, using real disc cases, and ensuring they fit comfortably in the shelves without squeezing them in too tightly. For CDs, I used all standard single-width jewel cases for measurement. For DVDs, I used all standard-width DVD cases. For blu-rays, the cases range in width so often, and also often blu-rays are sold with slipcovers, in steelbooks, etc., I used the average single releases in my collection. If you're storing only the normal slim blue cases, you'll be able to fit more blu-rays on the shelves. Also, this reporting is based on storage similar to described above, without consideration for stacking cases in horizontally to use up the excess space, also without consideration for being able to place anything on top of the cabinets.40 CDs per shelf: double width cabinet capacity (16 shelves) = 640 CDs; triple width cabinet capacity (24 shelves) = 960 CDs; quad width cabinet capacity (38 shelves) = 1,520 CDs28 DVDs per shelf: double width cabinet capacity (10 shelves) = 280 DVDs; triple width cabinet capacity (15 shelves) = 420 DVDs; quad width cabinet capacity (26 shelves) = 728 DVDs30 blu-rays wide per shelf: double width cabinet capacity (12 shelves) = 360 blu-rays; triple width cabinet capacity (18 shelves) = 540 blu-rays; quad width capacity (30 shelves) = 900 blu-raysI can recommend these cabinets to anyone who doesn't need anything too fancy. They do make my large collection look handsome, and they're good, stable shelves. They're pretty clearly composite board cabinets I bought and assembled, not pieces of hardwood furniture, but they're nice for what they are. They're available and affordable. After buying 6 cabinets of varying sizes and having no significant complaint about them, the Prepac cabinets get my stamp of approval.

Solamente llegó una caja!!!

At first this seems like a good product, but I paid $108 for it and it's got some serious design flaws, however now that it is mostly assembled (save the backer board), I am not sure how I would send it back. But I am NOT happy about this purchase!My notes are in order of how they arose:1. The black melamine finish is pretty good except for some quality control issues with glue residue. Not really a deal breaker2. The bottom screw holes should be set up to be countersunk. It would be stronger, look better and you wouldn't have to add those tack glides which raise the unit of the floor and leave a dust accumulation area below. Thought about returning it as this point, but still it had the look I want, so I continued.3. Most of the remaining assembly was easy...all the pre-drilled holes lined up fine.4. But then I got to the the so called backer board. This piece is supposed to stabilize the unit, but instead of providing a piece that spans all three uprights, the backer board is four separate backer boards two of each are taped to each other to make a joint which would run up the center of each side of the unit. While not a great design, this would be ok, BUT....you then have to line these two taped backer boards up to each other and nail each of them into the SAME 5/8" wide center gable. That is asking way too much for self-assembly. This is practically an impossible task for a non-carpenter - especially as you have to do it with to unit standing so you can some shelves in there to keep it square whilst doing so! Even if I do manage to get it on straight the fact the board isn't going to provide the stability it should and would were it one piece.So now I have a CD until that I cannot completely assemble nor use because there will be no stability.Bottom line, the company who makes this need to resolve this issue:1. The backer board should be a single piece (as it shows in the instructions!) - even if it's a piece with a fold in it.2. And if they are unwilling to do that (because it probably costs more to package),change to design so that the center piece is double thickness which would make it easier to nail these floppy back boards into and have even a prayer of getting it straight!

This Media Storage Tower is exactly what I needed; it's fairly sturdy, spacious, good looking, and adjustable. It has a good price too for the storage it provides.I only have two causes for concern with this: the peg holes, and the shelves themselves. Many of the peg holes weren't cleared well enough, so I needed to hammer the pegs in the first time, but only once. The shelves are designed quite well with a cavity underneath in which the pegs slide in to keep the shelves in place, but they don't quite reach the back of the tower. This isn't a big problem, but if you wanted to store thin items towards the back, they could fall through.In contrast however, there are many parts I am impressed by. The back of these storage units are typically a folded piece of cardboard, whereas this has solid Masonite, split vertically into two pieces to ship. Rather than screws, some crucial connections on this unit use rapid rods to keep it in shape, which are less likely to move and, incidentally, easier to put in. The pegs, as aforementioned, sit in a cavity on the bottom of the shelves so the shelves don't slide or wobble.Over all, it's positives far outweigh the little negatives, and I am very satisfied with the purchase. With my setup, I was able to store up to 168 video game boxes or DVD movie boxes on it.
