Summary: Excellent purchase
Comment: This is a great product. I was very pleased with the purchase. It suited my needs just right. It takes up less room with more storage than the last shelf I had in the same place.

Summary: Worth every penny!
Comment: I just bought this cabinet here in Amazon Prime and it only took me two hours to assemble all by myself. It is easy to assemble as it comes with an easy to follow instruction sheet. The cabinet does satisfy my DVD/HDDVD/BD needs. I just need another one so I can consolidate my racks in to two of these cabinets. It is definitely a space saver. I do have almost a thousand DVD/HDDVD/BDs (and growing) and this cabinet does the job. I cannot wait for my second one to arrive. I highly recommend this item for those of you who have a huge collection of DVDs or CDs.
UPDATE (08/09/08):
Per my previous review of this item, I have bought and assembled a second one of this cabinet two days ago and now all my 900+ (and still groing) DVD/HDDVD/BD collection still has a 2-1/2 shelves to fill. Soon I'll be needing a third one to combo my CDs and future HD/DVD media collection. This consolidates two Atlantic Penguins, two Atlantic Elfs and two Atlantic slim DVD towers. This cabinet, as I have already mentioned, is worth every penny. A must for hardcore movie collectors.
Now I just have to disassemble the Penguins, Elfs and slim towers to put away in storage, just in case I ever need those again. You cannot go wrong with Atlantic products. I've been using them for 10 years and counting and never had any issues with them. So far, this Oskar has been a true space-saver for me.

Summary: If I hadn't bought all those CD's I'd be able to afford real furniture.
Comment: Yes, that's the ironic thought that popped into my head as I finished building this massive monolithic altar to twenty years of misallocated cash. Here I am putting together furniture that could just have well been presto logs that I paid a little over a hundred dollars for in order to hold a collection of 1080 CD's which if bought new at $12.00 each would be almost $13,000 or enough to fill the entire room where this thing now resides with fine furniture made of real wood, with a real finish of real varnish, etc.
Anyway, it took my wife and I about two hours to put this CD shelf together. It wasn't difficult; there are just a lot of shelves and things that need to be put together with a piece of furniture this size. (I really would like to see someone put this together in fifteen minutes!)
There are a couple of "gotchas" that the instructions don't tell you about. First, the eight screws that go in from the bottom don't screw in flush with the wood; they stick out. Bad news if you're not putting this on top of a carpet. I had to improvise a bit (with a large drill bit, as a matter of fact) and take off just a bit of the sawdust, er, wood at each screwhole so that bottom screws would screw in all the way and the bottom would be flat.
Second, there's the nailing on of the back piece where you flip the unit over with it not laying flat on the floor and start pounding nails. As at least one other reviewer has pointed out, this is a great way to break the middle shelf. Thankfully I saw this coming and put some books under the middle shelves befor I nailed on the back pieces.
And now that it's completed I can't wait to gather up all the CDs from where they're squirreled away and put them on this storage cabinet. I'll have them all in one place, and they'll cover up all the obvious clues that this is a really cheap piece of furniture.
Well, I got what I paid for, and for sheer clutterbusting alone it's a pretty good deal. So far so good.

Summary: Media Storage
Comment: I love my storage cabinet. One board, the top one, did not have the proper holes to build the shelves as they should have been built, but since it was on top and we did not want to wait for another one, we simply nailed it on. Except for that problem I found the product as advertised and fairly easy to build.

Summary: I can buy more dvds
Comment: I was running out of room for all my dvds and wanted somewhere to put them that looked halfway decent and didn't take up too much room. I did some research and this looked like it would do the trick. When I ordered it came in 2 days with free shipping. My daughter put it together for me and it didn't take too long. It was alot easier than another rack I had before. The only bad thing was that it is so heavy. But that can be a good thing too. I don't think I have to worry about it falling apart. Also don't find out the hard way like my daughter did. Read the whole directions through before you start. They back track alittle so it is easy to put together upside down or backwards. As long as you pre read the directions you should be fine. Now I can fit many more movies in my rack.
