22" Double Tower Media Storage

Most importantly, this shelf is manufactured in the USA by Prepac. With that being said, the fitment and quality of the pieces and hardware of this shelf is much better than what I've experienced building similar shelves from overseas. There weren't any fitment issues with the pieces or location of the holes drilled. For the price, you're getting a great shelf even though it's particle board and "engineered" wood. The flatpack box it comes in is approximately 63 inches long, 7 inches wide and 7 inches thick and weighs about 60lbs, which is quite heavy. Easy to assemble as there aren't many unique parts for the brief instructions. As others have stated, use a little bit of wood glue on the pegs and mating surfaces to make the self more sturdy, not a lot is required, just a few drops. The shelves are configurable after the shelf is built very easily. Although the shelflets don't extend all the way to the backboard leaving a small 1/4 inch gap where small or thin items can fall through. Primarily meant for physical media in their cases. Configured for DVD's, you'll get 6 usable spaces per column with an extra smaller space as seen in the picture. For Blurays or Nintendo Switch game cases, you can get 7 or 8 spaces per column with an extra space. The shelf base is thicker than the shelves giving them stability and the unit comes with plastic feet that tack nail into the bottom base for hardwood floors. Handsome black finish that seems less prone to chipping verses other cheaper units i've assembled from overseas. It finally includes a zip-tie style wall anchor, important if you live in a household with small children or pets, for tip-over safety. As an assembly tip, the extra particle board piece you get in the box (which isn't used for the shelf itself) is actually used to stand the shelf face-down level as the top is slightly shorter than the longer base, helpful to have since the backboard is held in place with tack nails which are provided in the hardware kit.

Most of this type of furniture I find disappointing, but was pleasantly surprised with this unit. The build quality is top-notch compared to most laminate-wrapped particleboard furniture. As the price and style indicate, this isn't heirloom quality, but it is well made, goes together easily, and looks good. The price seems pretty reasonable. Assembly took a little under an hour by myself. The best bit of assembly advice is to drill pilot holes for nailing the backer boards on. The nails themselves are sort of cheap and bend easily, but there are lots of them. I also laid it down to attach the backer boards instead of standing it up as the instructions stated. Since kiddos aren't a concern here and it is sitting on tile, I did not attach the anchors. It seems quite stable without them, and I'll be adding more books to the bottom shelf. The unit I received did not have any of the issues some others have reported. No scratches, missing parts, etc. I think it looks good and I'm happy to have my CDs out again.

At this point, I've bought and assembled 4 Double Width, 1 Triple Width and 1 Quad Width Wall Storage Cabinets (each are separate product listings on Amazon), to fill half a room with media storage, and I've been satisfied with Prepac's product. Each of the cabinets arrived without anything but the most minor cosmetic damage. All of the proper parts, hardware and instructions have been included, and assembly has been relatively simple. A power drill has been helpful to get the longer base screws into all of the vertical panels, but I have used a manual screwdriver to get them in as well. The composite board these are made from is relatively dense, giving the cabinets some weight and durability. The included nail-on gliders on the bottom helped me get the cabinets in place without scratching the floor. The cabinets are strong enough to completely fill with CDs, DVDs and or blu-rays without any bowing, leaning, or other concerns with the build quality. They're strong and stable enough, as long as they're against the wall. NOTE: These are made to be at least placed against walls, if not fastened to walls. For stability, the bases protrude about 3 inches in front and almost 2 inches on each side, but not at all in the back, so if not at least placed against a wall, it can tip over backward pretty easily. I've arranged my room to place 2 of the cabinets back-to-back and that's been stable. As for the hardware included to fasten them to walls, people seem to complain about these, and prefer finding their own solution for that. I've been fine with setting them along my walls, and back-to-back. The most trouble I've had with assembly is properly lining up and nailing on the hard paperboard backings and fitting the metal shelf pegs into the interior holes, as some of them can be pretty tight. I've used light tapping with a mallet and learned not to push them in all the way if they're hard to get in there, and that's worked well for me if I need to remove them to adjust the shelves. My all-over satisfaction with all of the various Prepac cabinets has been generally high. They do the job well, but don't reach my highest ideal. I decided to go with these after reading reviews and considering the alternatives, this seemed like my best option without spending a lot more, having shelves custom-built, et cetera. One thing I'd have really appreciated with the double-width and triple-width cabinets is if they were taller by the height of 1 or 2 CD sized shelves. That would make the cabinets the best size for CD, DVD and blu-ray cases to be placed on shelves vertically, meaning 9-10 CD case shelves tall, 6-7 DVD case shelves tall, or 7-8 blu-ray case shelves tall. The way these are, if you space the shelves for the height of the cases, you can have 6 blu-ray-height shelves with room left over, or 5 DVD-height shelves with room left over for 1 shelf of CDs. If you're not storing CDs in there, you can have an extra shelf where you stack cases on their sides, but another 5 1/2 inches of height would have gone a long way. As these are, the height is only slightly over half the height of my walls, but they still offer a lot of storage. The quad-width cabinet is taller, meaning significantly more shelving for movies. Here are my notes on actual, real world storage capacity, using real disc cases, and ensuring they fit comfortably in the shelves without squeezing them in too tightly. For CDs, I used all standard single-width jewel cases for measurement. For DVDs, I used all standard-width DVD cases. For blu-rays, the cases range in width so often, and also often blu-rays are sold with slipcovers, in steelbooks, etc., I used the average single releases in my collection. If you're storing only the normal slim blue cases, you'll be able to fit more blu-rays on the shelves. Also, this reporting is based on storage similar to described above, without consideration for stacking cases in horizontally to use up the excess space, also without consideration for being able to place anything on top of the cabinets. 40 CDs per shelf: double width cabinet capacity (16 shelves) = 640 CDs; triple width cabinet capacity (24 shelves) = 960 CDs; quad width cabinet capacity (38 shelves) = 1,520 CDs 28 DVDs per shelf: double width cabinet capacity (10 shelves) = 280 DVDs; triple width cabinet capacity (15 shelves) = 420 DVDs; quad width cabinet capacity (26 shelves) = 728 DVDs 30 blu-rays wide per shelf: double width cabinet capacity (12 shelves) = 360 blu-rays; triple width cabinet capacity (18 shelves) = 540 blu-rays; quad width capacity (30 shelves) = 900 blu-rays I can recommend these cabinets to anyone who doesn't need anything too fancy. They do make my large collection look handsome, and they're good, stable shelves. They're pretty clearly composite board cabinets I bought and assembled, not pieces of hardwood furniture, but they're nice for what they are. They're available and affordable. After buying 6 cabinets of varying sizes and having no significant complaint about them, the Prepac cabinets get my stamp of approval.

This is the second Prepac CD shelving unit I've purchased. They look great and are super sturdy. We've taken our CDs out of jewel cases and have put them into custom poly slip sleeves so, you can fit up to 3,000 CDs, and the unit can handle it easily. (900 regular jewel case CDs). Recommended.

Excelente mueble para mí colección de CDs. Fácil de armar. Maravilloso

I am quite impressed with the design of this, I mean how it assembles was well thought out... only thing I really didn't like is those thin backing boards you have to try to nail on with millimetre precision. They need a better way to help align it without punching nails through the sides of it. Otherwise you should be quite impressed with the ease of assembling it. Now only issue is trying to match it with the media you have. I really hate how bluray cases are not all uniform so someone with OCD it drives me mad when everything doesn't perfectly fit in symmetrical harmony. Yes, I'm referring to steelbook cases and those odd shaped cardboard cases, season box sets and other things that make you want to beat someone with a club! Trying to decide on shelf height when one is too big and another too small, working out the math of bluray vs DVD vs cd vs video game optimization and uniformity, I can't take it... so I ordered one for each... ok, much better. Oh right, about the stand! It's really a great stand, I love it a lot and it looks great, feels sturdy and everything else, but the reference pic they use is what would drive me mad... if that doesn't bother you, then your in a win win situation, otherwise trying to find that perfect symmetry and shelf height where everything feels just right and one with the universe takes some time.

Very easy to install. Comes with lots of shelves (i didnt even use all of mine). Looks nice all set up. Holds alot of bluray movies or books. The shelf itself is not very deep, so its perfect for small spaces and doesnt stick out from the wall very much.

This Media Storage Tower is exactly what I needed; it's fairly sturdy, spacious, good looking, and adjustable. It has a good price too for the storage it provides. I only have two causes for concern with this: the peg holes, and the shelves themselves. Many of the peg holes weren't cleared well enough, so I needed to hammer the pegs in the first time, but only once. The shelves are designed quite well with a cavity underneath in which the pegs slide in to keep the shelves in place, but they don't quite reach the back of the tower. This isn't a big problem, but if you wanted to store thin items towards the back, they could fall through. In contrast however, there are many parts I am impressed by. The back of these storage units are typically a folded piece of cardboard, whereas this has solid Masonite, split vertically into two pieces to ship. Rather than screws, some crucial connections on this unit use rapid rods to keep it in shape, which are less likely to move and, incidentally, easier to put in. The pegs, as aforementioned, sit in a cavity on the bottom of the shelves so the shelves don't slide or wobble. Over all, it's positives far outweigh the little negatives, and I am very satisfied with the purchase. With my setup, I was able to store up to 168 video game boxes or DVD movie boxes on it.
