Q: what is the size of the box

A: Comes in 2 (two) boxes: approx. 66"x26"x5" and approx. 30"x25"x4"

Q: It said it mounts to the wall. I'm looking for something that stands on its own like a bookcase. Do have any ideas on which one I should pick.

A: There is mounting hardware included to prevent it from tipping over due to kids climbing, etc. I chose not to use it and it stands like a bookshelf against the on its own just fine.

Q: what's the length, width and height?

A: The height is 60.5 inches, the width is 37.25 inches and the depth is 7.25 inches.

Q: can this hold a 40 inch flat panel television on top?

A: no problem. But where will you be to watch the TV???

Q: Is the 9.13 in width of the bottom foot or the actual shelves ? DVDs are about 5 1/2 in. and I see in some reviews that the DVDs over hang the shelves so they must be like 5 inches or less . So my question is what is the actual depth of the shelves??

A: The shelves are 4 1/2 inches deep, and the outer walls of the unit are 9 inches deep.

Q: What is that actual color?? I've seen other pictures of this same unit on the Atlantic website and it looks black. It is still called the Espresso model and the photos make it look like it's black and not the chocolate brown seen in the photos.

A: The color is black.

Q: dimensions (size)

A: The dimensions are 71.25"H x 9.13"W x 40"D.

Q: Is this made of wood or metal? It says metal in the description, and wood in the title. Which is it?

A: It's made out of wood.

Great value for sturdy, appealing storage.
Like many other reviewers, I, too, had bought the previous version of this shelf unit. For the most part, they are built the same with a few improvements made; at least from what I remember when I built my original units. However, there are two major gripes that I do have with it, more on that later. This is a great unit and durable when adequate care is taken during the assembly process. I'd give it a 4.5 if it weren't for the 2 issues. . . The PROs: • The instructions are clear and easy to follow. There are pictures as well as written-out instructions, unlike IKEA. • You really only need a screwdriver and hammer. • The small parts (screws, pegs, nails, etc.) are separated and identified well in a blister-type pack. • The backing of the unit is much improved from the previous version. To me, it seems just a bit thicker and more durable than the older version. I can't quite remember if they had these or not, but the current version has pilot holes for the small nails that you need to hammer into the frame. This saves a lot of guess work and you can center the backing a lot easier. It also has a tongue and groove type seam between the top and bottom halves that you nail down. This is an improvement from the older version that just joined flat next to each other and had to be taped together. • The wall mount/anchor is standard. Comes with metal L-brackets mount, screws and plastic drywall anchors. However, unlike the original version, they've added pilots holes for the screws that go into the top of the unit. Again, only needing a screwdriver. I remember struggling when I had to anchor the first two units I bought. • The design is simple and contemporary with a strong dark brown, almost black finish. . . The CONs: • The screws that secure the base to rest of the frame do not screw in flush with the wood. There will be little nubs sticking out at the bottom of your unit. This can cause instability issues and may mess up your floors when staging or moving the unit. • My biggest disappointment with these are that the shelves are not flush with the frame. Unlike the previous version, these shelves are slightly receded. When you first install them, they seem pretty flimsy and easy to unbalance/tip over. Once items are placed on them, the weight keeps it pretty steady. However, this leaves you with less surface area to work with if you have unusually sized media or wanted to add little tchotchkes/trinkets where, again, balance may become an issue. . . ASSEMBLY TIPS: • There aren't many parts to this assembly. I'd recommend laying everything out in the order they need to be assembled. This will help you better visualize the bigger picture of how everything will fit together. Do not rush through the steps as you don't want to mess up the placement or over tighten anything. • Personally, the holes that hold the wooden dowels/pegs seemed too big and the pegs moved around too much for my liking. I added just a dab of wood glue in each hole to help with the overall sturdiness. Add when you first put them into the I-piece and J-piece. Then again on the opposite sides when joining with the vertical frames (A-H-pieces / jambs?), • Lastly, the much talked about and "dreaded" step of adding the backing. The base of the unit has a lip the protrudes out from the rest of the frame. The instructions tell you to place the unit face down and just hammer the back down. The unevenness causes too much strain on the screws securing the base to the rest of the unit and may crack. Here is the very simple workaround I used for this: 1. Very carefully flip the unit face down. 2. Place 9 of the mini shelves under each corner at the top of the unit and another 9 shelves in the center along one of the sides of the unit (under the I/J-piece - I forget which is the center plank) where the top and bottom halves are held together. Each stack should roughly equate to the height of the lip at the base and will now give you a balanced and steady work area to nail down the backing. To protect the top surfaces of the shelves, make sure that the bottoms (the side with the divots drilled out for the pegs) are facing out in each of these stacks. 3. Unfold and center the backing pieces as desired, then start hammering down all those little nails. Again, the pilot holes here are such time-savers. I recommend first working on the side that has the extra 9 shelves in the center of the unit. When done, you can slide those out and place them under the opposite side and finish out the hammering. • As for those pesky protruding screws under the base, I simply used 2 pieces of painter's (masking) tape to cover each one up. This should help it glide a bit better when staging/moving the unit without gouging into your floors. You can add anything you think could help in this area so long as it doesn't add too much thickness. • When all done, you are now able to gently lift the unit upright and place it where desired.

Ginormous capacity that doesn't break the bank
For the amount of storage you get for the price, you can't go wrong! It was easy to assemble, easy to mount to the wall, and looks great! And as far as the company, I had an issue that I was missing 1 piece - a little shelf holder. I contacted Atlantic and had the parts I needed within a day or two AT MOST. That kind of service is hard to find. I will DEFINITELY be purchasing more products from this company in the future!

Pleased with the Oskar media cabinet
I had purchased this Oskar same media cabinet maybe 7 yrs. ago from Best Buy but decided to buy a 2nd one as I have a massive CD collection. While the 2 cabinets mesh together well, I am slightly disappointed because they don’t match exactly. Oskar seems to have cut back on the quality of the product over the yrs., especially with the shelves being several inches shorter nowadays (see the skimpier shelves on the left in photo). Still it is a handsome display of my collection.
