Customer Review: First reaction upon opening box was OMG this is going to take forever...
Summary: 4 Stars
My first reaction when I opened the box was a silent OMG. There are 100 (count them!) 100 parts to assemble. O M G! I thought it would take forever to assemble but it actually took just a little over an hour and fifteen minutes. Oh well, I had time to kill.
Like another reviewer I ended up with leftover wooden dowels but I have to admit I did not count them before assembling so there may have been extras. I'd certaily like to think so anyway. The instructions were pretty clear, could have been a tad better, but not bad. My biggest complaint has more to do with the actual steps of assembly, not the way they were presented. If I had ended up short on the wooden dowels I would have undertstood because every single time I tried to move on to the next step after putting the dowels in the doggone things kept falling out. There has to be a better way. You need at least three hands, maybe four.
Again in agreement with a previous reviewer, I really hated the fuzzy stuff that clung to all the shelf pieces; not a big fan of dusting anything and this stuff CLUNG. Everything was well packed; the small pieces were on a cardboard sheet with a cover that held each set of pieces in place. I think I would have preferred the baggies. Once you take off the cover to get at one part the rest all come loose. I also found a few flaws in the pressed wood pieces but, hey, ya know? What else would you expect.
All said and done it does look pretty sharp but as I paid over $40 for it, it had better look pretty sharp.
The real test for me was how much would it REALLY hold. I collect DVD sets of TV series and really wanted a place to store them that was easily accessible and didn't take complete control of my bookcases. They call them bookcases for a reason. Considering that most TV series DVDs are a bit larger than a standard DVD, and some significantly larger, I knew I shouldn't expect to store the 144 advertised but I have to admit I was surprised that it held 89 complete seasons of this show or that and would probably take quite a few more if I could slim down some of the fat ones (like LOST and Heroes).
So I am satisfied with my purchase and would recommend it to anyone that has a little time to kill, isn't overwhelmed by 100 parts, isn't expecting furniture quality wood, and has a significant number of CDs or DVDs to store. I would recommend, however; that they wait for a sale. $42 and change is a bit steep. Had I been able to obtain for the $30ish others mentioned I would have been thrilled.
Nuff said :-)
Well, maybe not enough said. I've now purchased two and both are full. Will be purchasing a third when the price is right.
And now have three! And now that I've put together a few it does go together a little easier. For the last one I made sure I had some help to put it together. Two additional hands really helped.
