This is one of the best CD towers I have ever seen or purchased! It was easy to put together, although I'm very experienced at putting together DIY furniture. All the pieces and pre-drilled holes matched up perfectly. All the pieces and hardware were in the box, and nothing was broken. Came double-boxed and UPS took very care of it in transit. The outer box was not damaged at all, as some other reviewers have mentioned. For first-timers, you might want to have a friend help out. This also hugs the wall great and has a very small footprint. And it looks great. It just blends into the background. Exactly, what I was looking for. The alignment, sizing and spacing of the shelves is perfect. It holds a full 1080 CDs. 30 CDs per shelf and 12 shelves per column (3 columns). The 30 CDs fit comfortably, not smashed. Some reviewers have complained that the shelves are not the full depth of a CD. I actually find this more convenient. It's much easier getting CDs in and out with this design. Also, the shelves are grooved on one side to fit into the brackets. The shelves are very secure and don't slide because of this. They hold the CDs very well. Also, because of the shorter shelf side to side, it does not sag when it is full of CDs. All in all a really terrific CD tower, especially for the price. The only disclaimer is that this is particle board, and not real wood. If this were a solid wood cabinet, it would cost three or four times the price. But I know that this will hold up for years and years. I could not be happier with it. It's even nicer than I thought it would be!"..." Read more
