Large collections, small footprint
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.
