Init™ - 200 CD/136 DVD Media Storage Cabinet - Espresso

This is a nice unit with good storage capacity, and it looks very nice. I bought so they would sit to either side of the TV and they both look great and because they hold DVDs front and back, they are only partly full, so I have added space. They were a bit hard to put together, as glue used seemed a bit old, and the instructions took a bit of effort. The directions were quite large but they were easy to read. Only issue was that one of the bearings for the base had been put together backwards, so it wouldn't turn. Once I flipped the one part it worked fine and the unit went together well. I would recommend this to a friend.

Great deal for the price. Easy assembly. Took about an hour (but I was watching a movie so i wasn't really paying attention) Pros: Lots of storage for the price Cheap Looks pretty nice can hold DVDs that come with cardboard sleeves/special edition DVDS/ TV series/etc Cons: Not the sturdiest piece of equipment in the world. I'm not afraid of it tipping over or anything, it just doesn't feel super solid Doesn't turn super well Also, the glue that they send with it is awful. I used my own wood glue and it worked great. I would recommend doing the same. Elmers wood glue is great. And cheap at walmart!

Great Storage Cabinet for books, games and cds. would buy again

I bought this after reading the previous reviews, having figured that the writer of the first review was probably referring to a different product. It took me exactly 1 hour 20 minutes from the moment I opened the packaging to the turn of the final screw. On the basis that if all else fails, read the instructions, it does help to read them through first before embarking on the job as care needs to be taken to ensure all the shelves have their finished surfaces face up. The finished product is neat and meets its storage claim.

After attempting to buy a different DVD storage tower from three different companies online (and finding out weeks after ordering that they do not have the item in stock), I gave up and bought two of these towers at my local Best Buy, after reading the reviews here. The first one took me about an hour to put together, while watching TV. The second one went together much more quickly, only about a half of an hour. Pretty easy to follow the instructions; although the instructions do not mention which side (finished or not) should be facing during each step, but it's not too hard to figure out. Using advise from a previous reviewer, I used Elmer's Wood Glue, instead of the glue that came with the package. Hopefully, that will help the towers stay together better. At first they seemed a little wobbly, but once they had DVDs on the shelves, they were fine. Both spin well. I love the color, matches perfectly with some of my other espresso colored pieces. It holds exactly 136 DVDs, as advertised. One of mine just has DVDs, the other has DVD Seasons; so that tower will hold a lot less, since the packages are larger in width. I would purchase again. Great product!

Overall it's good for the price you pay for it. I wanted something inexpensive but that didn't look or feel completely inexpensive, & something that had a good capacity (we have alot of dvds). This fit the bill. I'd buy it again.

I bought two because I own lots of dvd's. After assembly (which was a breeze) I filled one up immediately and it looks great next to my entertainment set up. It's not just limited to standard size dvd cases - you can use it for any type (ie box sets, video game cases, blue-ray cases, throwback vcr tapes lol, etc). The fact that you can put movies on both sides coupled with the fact that it swivels is great. It's not the sturdiest but for $45 it's sturdy enough (it's not going to topple or fall apart) and it looks very stylish. Would make a great gift for friends and family members who have movies stacked all over the place.

Purchased this stand several months back but just put it together. Has a nice solid design, looks good, and holds a decent amount for its size. The rotating capability is great as well. One of 4 stands I have now to hold anime and games. Think I might actually order a couple more because I like it better than the others I have. Only drawback was that the glue packet was solid as a rock. Went ahead and assembled it without glue and it's holding up fine so far.
