Prepac Barrister 3 Column 63.75" Media Storage, Wood Multimedia Storage Unit with 27 Adjustable Shelves, Modern Multimedia Cabinet with Removable Shelves for Books, Medias and Collectibles, Espresso

Great for displaying your physical media and making it easily accessible !! I have it holding 264 cds on one side and 115 dvds on the other with one shelf too short on the bottom for vertical placement !! Rotates easily and easy to put together !! Also reasonably priced !!

For someone who isn't all that handy, I found this unit fairly easy to assemble if you take your time. I spent about 1.5 hours, but only because I had to redo a step (details below). Once assembled it looks very nice and holds a surprisingly large number of CDs. I thought at first I might have to buy two of these, but one more than handled my collection. The unit arrived in pieces and most were covered in a layer of dust as others have mentioned. It was easy to wipe off, but I wonder why this wasn't done at the factory. I found the instructions somewhat confusing in a few places. The thing that tripped me up, mentioned by other reviewers, is you have to make sure the two inner vertical support pieces are assembled with the holes facing the front of the unit. This is so you can put the decorative front pieces on them later. The instructions do not make this clear and the boards aren't marked in any special way. I had to unscrew them and reverse them once I realized my mistake. The tools I used were a hammer, a level, a stud finder, and an electric drill / screwdriver. The electric screwdriver was very valuable and I'd consider it a must-have for putting this together. The unit attaches to the wall very nicely by hanging on a lipped board you affix to your wall. It is very sturdy assuming you drill into a wall stud. The only fault I can make is the decorative front pieces and sides cover up some of the storage space. If you pack your CDs in too tightly the CDs can go behind these pieces, making them difficult to pull out. You can use some of the extra metal studs that the shelves sit on to stop the CDs from getting lost back there, but there aren't enough extra ones for every shelf. As noted by others, the bottoms of the shelves are not finished and are thus lighter in color than the finished parts. However this wasn't a problem for me. I can't see these areas when hung up on the wall, even with the shelves empty. I'm very pleased with the unit for the price I paid for it.

Package arrived in good condition. All pieces and parts were present and damage free. Easy to put together. Looks great and is quite stable. Note: There was a bit of sawdust on the pieces and parts, so good to have a damp cloth and a broom/vacuum near by.

Un bon deal car acheté d'occasion pour cause de défauts cosmétiques alors qu'en fait c'est quasi imperceptible. Sinon je ne sais pas si je l'aurais acheté le plein prix. Pas compliqué à monter, juste un peu long. J'ai eu peur en clouant le fond de taper "à coté" et que ça se voit sur l'endroit car le fond est un peu plus petit que les rebords où il doit être cloué, faut vraiment y faire attention. J'ai eu du mal à bien insérer les barres latérales, à faire en sorte que les chevilles en plastique soient bien enfoncées dans les deux parties du meuble. A part ça, pas mal d'espace de stockage de CD et DVD. Je ne sais pas si c'est robuste, on verra avec le temps, mais ça a l'air assez solide, et également stable (je ne l'ai pas fixé au mur) une fois bien remplie. Le seul truc potentiellement gênant, ce sont les rebords sur les cotés et en hauts, qui cache un peu les CD/DVD, mais c'est vraiment mineur.

I write very few product reviews but I am so pleased with this CD rack that I had to do so. The rack is as advertised and the assembly was very easy. The directions were clearly written with accompanying diagrams that were very specific. I am not a handyman but this was easy to assemble. Pre-punched holes lined up perfectly. The cabinet itself is compact, attractive and will hold hundreds of CDs. I am glad that I bought it. - Bud R., Warwick. NY
