Atlantic 74735728 Summit CD DVD Shelf For Inside, Media & collectable storage, Engineered Wood, Maple, FURNITURE

I now own 3 Atlantic media shelving units! 2 of these particular "single sized" (Atlantic 74735728) shelving units, and one of the "double sized" ones (Atlantic PN38435720). I first bought the double sized one back in 2018, and have a positive review of that unit on here already. It has held up fine and moved with me once even. The first small one I bought was in 2020 and has held up for those years fine as well, so I have no fear for the new one I just received. I am careful and haven't broken any of them myself. In my lengthy review of the bigger double one, I pointed out that you must be CAREFUL with these particle board/"wood composite" products though, and that will always be the case. There is even a chance that they will come already broken from transit, and in that case you just return/replace using Amazon's procedures. To date, with all 3 units I've bought I have not had one come broken yet, so that's a plus. Atlantic flat packs them quite well. These units are not very deep, since they are designed specifically for DVD/Bluray/CD cases to be retrievable. Because of this, they are very... tilty... and want to fall backwards even when empty. They have always come with wall anchors to fasten them directly into your walls, so if you have any fear of them falling then use those. I would NOT trust any of these units to stand on their own without something to lean them back against though. You can see a 4th unit standing alone and away from the wall in my picture here (furthest left shelf), and it is NOT one of these Atlantics. Notice that one is built differently, and has longer feet front and back to allow it to stand alone with or without weight. The Atlantics WILL NOT do this. So I would lean them back against the wall, and if you wish use the provided anchors to keep them there. If there is an earthquake or something I'm sure they could topple forward. Remember these are CHEAP units, and you get what you pay for. So like I have mentioned just be careful when handling and building them. They aren't hard to build, just don't over tighten screws or you could break the cheap composite boards. If you are looking for nicer solid wood shelving you most likely will never find it for this price point. You would probably have to buy some more expensive bookcase to get better quality, so unless you want to go that route these composite shelves are what you're going to end up with. I checked other major stores online like... the orange hardware store, the blue and yellow electronics store, and of course the Swedish furniture store just to see what was out there to compare. Both the hardware store and electronics stores had Atlantic shelving for sale online, and one had another company that looked almost the same for a little more expensive. The furniture store of course has their own modular shelving units, but I'm sure you all know they have a similar quality of products for things like book shelves. Those will be larger though, with deeper shelves that won't display movie cases as nicely IMO, and won't be as retrievable. The Swedish store's shelving units all seem to be more expensive than Atlantic as well, especially if they're more solidly built. Long story short: if you're looking for SPECIFICALLY movie storage like I am, these are the go-to choice for the money, and multiple online stores sell Atlantic shelving. If you think you want thicker or deeper storage, or regular sized bookcases maybe look somewhere else. And if you need SOLID wood quality then definitely look elsewhere.

This is a seemingly popular, yet controversial item based upon the reviews. I am giving this a 5-Star rating. Here's why: *This was delivered to my door at the price of $39.99 plus tax. (A deal compared to plastic holders) *It was well packaged. All shelving parts were included as were hardware parts and assembly instructions. *The unit went together perfectly. I didn't have to re-drill or fix anything. The finish was clean, undamaged...no defects. *Upon assembly I had a perfectly fine, solid media tower sitting in the corner of my office...where space is limited. (NOTE - I Am using this strictly for CD storage): When assembled there are 9 enclosed shelfs; in addition you have the top of the piece for more storage. I placed an additional plastic CD storage rack (30 more CDs) on top...no use in wasting a nice flat surface. Included is a set of anchors for anchoring to a wall if need be. The listing claims it will hold 261 CDs. That would be 29 single CDs in standard jewel cases per shelf. I will tell you that you won't want to do that. IF, you indeed get the 29th CD stuffed into the shelf, you'll be annoyed every time you want to pull out an item from the tightly jammed shelf. Accept that it will hold a total of 252 CDs (28 single CDs per shelf) and you will be content. Of course, CD packaging comes in a variety of flavors such as cardboard boxes, thin cases, etc., so numbers will vary. Based on many the bad reviews I have read, I will say this: I figure you have two choices when assembling this kit: 1) Dive in, don't pre-arrange you parts, don't read the instructions carefully...or at all and come out with a poorly built item and a bad attitude. Or, 2) Arrange all the parts needed in an orderly fashion, read the instructions to get familiar with what you are assembling and then carefully proceed. If you aren't familiar with wood working...or in this case...particle board, you DO NOT WANT TO DRIVE THE SCREWS HOME WITH ALL YOUR MIGHT. You will crumble the particle board. Just snug the screws up...no power necessary. If you want real wood...then pay for real wood shelving. Don't buy this unit. IT IS PARTICLE BOARD. I have probably assembled 30 to 40 pieces of furniture/shelving kits in my time. This one went together as smoothly as any brand I have worked with. If you're really familiar with things like this, you'll be done in under an hour. If not, put on some music, relax and enjoy the project knowing how organised you will feel when finished! Again, I am quite pleased with this unit - both the price and the quality I got for the price. Just remember, the finished product is up to you. UPDATE: I purchased a second unit. Again, all came together perfectly. This size is great for those small spaces! UPDATE: It is now June 2019 and I have my 4th unit. Again - it went together perfectly. Very happy with this.

横文字ばかりで大変でした。横文字に弱いので苦労しましたよ。 DIYに慣れた人なら綺麗に組み上げるんでしょうね。 自分は不器用で若干ミスりました。

Strong media cabinet, the key is the unit is narrow so the shelves don't droop under the weight like a wider shelf would. I can put 30 cds on a shelf x 9 shelves = 270 cds. DVDs and blue rays are taller so there will be fewer shelves.It was easy to assemble but when you nail the back on start at the bottom and work your way up. I started at the top and the back panel was about 2 or 3 millimeters too long, making the shelf ever so slightly wobbly, I had to cut a little off that panel, but it wouldn't matter at the top because you would never see it up there. I recommend this cabinet, good price too with free shipping

Color matched the bigger one we bought before . good solid stand

ネジをするにも穴が空いていない。仕方ないから金槌で叩いていれたところもある。そんなことで、気分も悪くなり、普段しているようには丁寧に組み立てられなくなり、酷い仕上がりになった。組み立て家具で、このようなものに出会ったことはないから驚いた。買わない方が良い。

Got this a few months back, its currently holding close to 300 of my cds. With the weight of the cds the shelving system is very sturdy. I have no fear of it tipping over. Not the highest of quality material although it does pass as not looking cheap. I will be purchasing a second one in the coming months as my cd collection grows.
