All DVD & CD Storage

I ordered 2 of these pedestals to hide an evergrowing CD collection that my husband and I have been amassing. We could never seem to find an attractive, neat solution to the hideous wire CD racks that were cluttering the living room and constantly gathering dust. Until we found this beauty. The CD pedestals were well packed and came fully assembled. All we had to do was insert the shelf pins (all included in the packaging) and the shelves and we were done. The pedestals are sturdy and well made. They take up little room and inside there is a wealth of storage where we were able to store all of our CD collection. Highly recommend!"..."  Read more

Contrary to other customer reviews, I found the unit very easy to assemble, but you do need a lot of room to do so(as the unit is ~7' tall)and you need to plan well from the start what you are going to store. I assembled my unit to hold part of an extensive DVD-only collection, and by using close shelf spacing, actually managed to surpass the unit's stated maximum 450-DVD spec by about 45 DVD cases. That's the unit's best feature, in my opinion: its economy of space. I live in an urban apartment, so the 7' of ceiling height I have, but floorspace is a different story. My configuration used only ten of the included twelve shelves, so I have two spares in the unlikely event of breakage. I also like the contemporary-industrial styling; I'm a big fan of "form follows function" and inorganic design. The sliding shelf media-retainers are pretty bad. One arrived already broken, which I didn't care about because my shelves were going to be full right from the outset, but I believe the breakage was indicative of an overall poor design. They are difficult to insert, don't hold particularly well, and it seems they could spring out spontaneously and become a projectile. Don't get me wrong, that has not happened, it's just a feeling I get. These retainers are a very small con compared to the pros. I found the unit surprisingly sturdy considering its basically spindly construction; having paid particular attention to that attribute in other reviews, I was prepared for the worst. However, the unit's individually-height-adjustable footpads make it relatively easy to achieve stability on uneven floors like mine. The unit does exhibit a certain amount of sway no matter how well braced, so I wouldn't recommend freestanding it in the middle of the floor, but if you have at least one surface butted up to a solid wall and you don't anticipate knocking into it too often, it should prove satisfactory. I did not use the included "wall braces" which consist of a short length of nylon web belting and a screw/wall anchor. I imagine they might provide some small added measure of protection if you don't live in the Pacific Ring of Fire. Unit weight ~45lb. empty. I liked this unit so much I bought a second after having my first for just a month. Highly recommended for the budget-minded with a large collection, limited space, and industrial aesthetic."..."  Read more

I bought these Atlantic cd racks to go with the Atlantic dvd racks I purchased previously. I wall-mounted mine, and the cd racks will also go on the wall, next to the dvd racks. Both will be flanking the flat screen tv, which will be centered on the wall. I don't have a lot of floor space for large cabinetry units, so minimal wall mounted units were the best choice for me. I liked the black finish steel racks, because they are slim, "disappear" when filled, and are very clean looking. Other reviews stating that the units weren't stable on the floor, presenting a tipping problem probably would apply if I wanted them to be free standing, but I wanted them specifically to wall-mount, and they are perfect for that. Currently, my tv is still on a small rolling unit. When I finally get the wall-mounting arm for the tv, the whole system, racks, tv, recorders, etc. will be attached to the wall, and will streamline the entertainment center, a must for me because of my room dimensions. I hope this review is helpful to you."..."  Read more

Provides attractive storage for my VHS, DVD, and CD collections. Very pleased with appearance. It is unobtrusive and fits well as part of our home entertainment center. Read the assembly instructions and look at the illustrations carefully before undertaking assembly. It will save you time and perhaps a partial disassembly and reassemble."..."  Read more
