Prepac 4 Revolving Display Cabinet Media Storage, Large Four-Sided Spinning Tower, Espresso

This is the second one I have gotten for my collection and looks and better yet, works great. It is easy to assemble by one person, though I recommend help in turning it over when its time in the instructions. Just wish this color was not always priced a few dollars more then the other color options. Holds many dvds and cds in any combination on its adjustable shelves and fully loaded, the spinners (made of plastic) have so far held out well.

This was really easy to put together. It's a very solid holder. I did buy a separate lazy susan, it's rated for 1000 pounds, much more secure than the plastic one the provide. It holds around 680 regular blu ray cases. It spins very easily and takes up very little space. Very happy with this and would highly recommend it. I do suggest getting the metal lazy susan though.

This media stand has incredible storage capacity without hogging an entire wall of your room. It's a quality product, made of sturdy wood that I'm confident will have no issues supporting a media collection, books, or any other odds and ends you may choose to put on the shelves. It takes up about as much space as a 5-foot-tall person would if you put a box around them and is suprisingly easy to assemble: there are a total of 12 pieces, not including screws, and all you need is a philips screwdriver and a hammer (hammer use is minimal, and mindless). Once it's assembled, it's relatively easy to lift (the boxes it comes in are HEAVY - one is 70 lbs; the second is smaller, but awkward to lift). The pieces are nicely labeled as being part of Box A or Box B, and are so easy to identify that there's no risk that you'll mistake one component for another. As someone else mentioned, be ready to spend some time cleaning off the sawdust that coats the packaging - it took me more time to clean off the assembled unit and shelves than it did to put it together. Storage capacity (MAX): - 26 CDs per shelf; max of 10 shelves per side (so if you wanted to fill all 4 sides with CDs, you could fit 26 x 10 x 4 = 1,040 CDs) - 18 DVDs per shelf; max of 7 shelves per side (so if you wanted to fill all 4 sides with DVDs, you could fit 18 x 7 x 4 = 504 DVDs) - 22 Blu-rays per shelf; max of 8 shelves per side (so if you wanted to fill all 4 sides with Blu-rays, you could fit 22 x 8 x 4 = 704 Blu-rays) Note: The above numbers assume that you're using basic CDs, DVDs, and Blu-rays (no box sets, etc.). Keep this in mind when figuring out whether or not this will be large enough to hold you current (and future) collection. Or, you can be like me and mix and match the above. I also have every intention of buying a second one of these to store my library of paper-back books :) *UPDATE* I did end up purchasing not just one, but two more of these units. They're fantastic at supporting books of all sizes, though the mass media paperbacks are definitely the most aesthetically pleasing fit: they end up inset about an inch from the edge of the shelves, so factor in the depth of the book when deciding whether or not you're comfortable with the "look" of books extending past the depth of the unit. For quantities (based on your typical 200-300 page mass-market paperpack): - ~10 Books per shelf; max of 7 shelves per side (so if you wanted to fill all 4 sides with mass-market paperback books, you could fit 10 x 7 x 4 = 280 Books) I'm personally alright with the "look" of the larger books on the shelves and can happily confirm that the shelves easily support my college text books (including the huge accounting and tax reference books I've accumulated). I will warn that when you're filling these units with whatever media/books/items you choose, be careful to distribute the weight evenly (e.g. fill opposite sides at the same time; make sure that you distribute the weight across the top and bottom of the shelves). The reason isn't that the unit won't support the weight, but when you go to turn it on the lazy susan, there's a risk that it can tip over if you only fill one side (or especially two adjacent sides) while leaving the rest of the unit empty.

This is an excellent item. Was delivered quickly and when I had a problem where I accidentally damaged a part during assembly, Amazon and Pre-Pac were both happy to help with no fuss or questions asked. Pre-pac shipped me a new part at no charge and now I can admire my collection for years to come. This item is worth every penny. The only real negatives are that the instructions can lead to some head scratching and no way you should go about building this on your own.

Prepac Large Four-Sided Spinning Tower Storage Cabinet, Black This is a very nice, large storage tower. It comes in 2 very thick,delivery man proof boxes. The instructions are well written and assembly is very simple. Two flaws I found with it (hence the 4 stars)- one is the extremely cheap plastic lazy susan it comes with and it really truly is extremely cheap and flimsy (maybe 10-12 plastic roller bearings spaced far apart)-I'm surprised the tower spins on it empty, let alone full. I purchased the metal lazy susan recommended and that was the hardest part of the whole assembly. All you need is a phillips head screwdriver, a hammer and if installing the metal lazy susan, a tape measure (to make sure your spinner is centered), a pencil (to mark drill holes), some screws (8 small wood screws) and a drill. The tower does come with a hole on the bottom to attach the plastic spinner so centering the new metal spinner is pretty quick and easy since you already have a center reference. You can look at videos online to get an idea on how to attach it. Assembly as I mentioned is easy-it only requires one person. It took me maybe an hour to put everything together and most of that time was figuring out how to attach the metal lazy susan. As mentioned in other reviews, the pieces are very dusty. Some good furniture polish and a black sharpie to fill in any scuff marks and the rack looks nice. I have 230 bluray movies and I have a TON of storage left! This holds a lot of media.I have it in a corner about 2 to 3 inches from the walls and it spins freely- very small footprint. It seems sturdy, and doesn't rock or tilt. The second "flaw" is the top plate or cover. This is a pretty tall unit. The underneath of the top plate should have been painted so you don't see a cheap unfinished product. Overall, I would highly recommend this unit to anyone with a lot of media and not wanting racks or shelves all over the place to store it all.
