| fairly sturdy rack for CDs and DVDs--but can we have better instructions, please ??? | |
| | This attractive media storage rack by Atlantic can stores combinations of CDs, DVDs and even VHS tapes. Of course you can use it for just one of the three types of media, too. In that case it can store up to 170 CDs or115 DVDs. It fits nicely up against a wall and the design with its black metal and maple color wood goes with most contemporary and modern décor.
The rack could be lifted and carried around your room or your home; but I definitely wouldn't move the rack when it was full--or even just partially full, either. Empty the entire rack before moving it so that you don't risk media spilling all over your floor, It will also help prevent shelf dividers from coming loose and falling onto your floor as long as you handle and move it with care.
This rack is particularly useful for persons with large CD collections. Amazon correctly notes that the rack holds up to 170 CDs--excellent!
I have some concerns about the overall construction of the unit and its assembly. Frankly, the instructions were very difficult to understand and I had to actually get a friend to help me assemble this thing! Ouch! There are a gazillion parts and the assembly can take some while unless you're rather handy with these things. In addition, be careful not to overload a shelf--it can cause the shelf to bend downward because of the weight on it and then it looks pretty ugly. Even after you cover up that shelf with media, the media themselves are not even because the bent shelf on which they rest is uneven. It's particle board, after all!
In short, this is a good rack as long as you are great with mediocre instructions that can be rather cryptic at times. It reliably holds a fair amount of media but as I mentioned above it cannot be manhandled--use care when moving this rack! Once you do get past the instructions, however, I would certainly recommend this media storage rack by Atlantic for anyone with larger media collections.

| | This is a decent little shelf to hold your CDs or DVDs. The wire frame is fairly strong, but I'm not sure how long the particle board shelves will last. It looks pretty nice and the little wire "bookends" do a nice job holding the DVDs in place and keep the whole shelf looking clean. I got it because I only had a little space to put this shelf and it fit perfectly and cleaned up a table that was stacked with lots of DVDs.
