Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this media tower from Stacks and Stacks, for about 140 shipped. Definitely one of the more affordable designs to hold a fairly large media collection.
The look of the product is great, as long as you fill it full of DVDs. Leaving this tower empty will expose the cheap-looking backing to any guests. I have read from other reviews on other sites that the shelves bowed under the weight of DVDs, but during assembly, I noticed an optional step to prevent bowing, and it works fine. The shelves are very thin, but for holding up DVDs, I've had no problems so far. Overall the tower is not as sturdy as I'd hoped, but for the purpose of holding DVDs, it's fine. The tower takes up very little room and hugs the wall; it is very compact and to the point.
One small problem though is the side edging strips: they overhang and block the very last DVD on each side, I might just end up putting empty cases on each end to make sure I don't "lose" any of my DVDs.
So, to sum it up:
Pros:
-Fairly affordable for the storage capacity
-Sleek, tall, wall-hugging design takes up very little excess space
-Comes with straps to attach to wall (If you're in an "earthquake zone" as the instructions suggest)
-The black model looks nice, fits almost any decor (not sure how the oak or other finishes would look)
Cons:
-Overall not as sturdy as many would like, though this is not much of a problem if the instructions are followed and shelves are "locked in"
-Side overhangs block off about an inch of shelf space
