Lacks structural integrity.
I ordered this unit to store my DVD collection which is currently just under 300 titles. It has definitely helped to keep my media organized.
I like that the height of the shelves can be adjusted to fit CDs DVDs or even clamshell VHS cases. If the shelves are set to the height of a standard DVD box the unit will fit five rows of DVDs -- there will be a sixth row that is about the right height for standard CD jewel cases. At this height you will have leftover shelving and hardware (the shelves are held in place with metal dowels) that I assume would come in handy if the unit were used for CDs as you could then accomodate more rows of shelves.
The unit isn't difficult to put together. My only issue with the piece is its cumbersome distribution of weight. It's quite top-heavy. I actually had to screw picture framing hardware to both my wall and the back of the unit and tether the unit to the wall with wire to get it to stand upright. Before I did so it would not stand straight on my carpeted floor with anything on the shelves. For the price it works well and looks fine but if you aren't prepared to do some engineering to hold the thing upright it probably isn't the best product to buy.More detail ...
