Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Atlantic Maxsteel 3020 432 CD/228 DVD/114 VHS/ 8-Tier Media Rack (Black)Customer Review: Overrated Summary: 3 Stars
I bought two units in May 2007 based on its superb review. I've received the unit last week and put them together last night. I was somewhat disappointed after putting them together. It's hard for me how this can be so much praised. I can't help thinking that some comments were left by manufacturers. I saw a similar unit on sale in Linen'n'Things for $30 this weekend, I wish I purchased that one instead. It's of slightly inferior build but cost a lot less (it cost me $133 for both units shipped.)
First, this only comes with one page of extremely simplified manual. I do not know how experienced people here are to put them together in 5 minutes. I spent 30 minutes to put together the first one, and still not satisfied because it is still not leveled in each tray. At first, the manual does not spell out that the tray support is directional. I finally figured out that it has to be clamped in the right direction. Second, only indication where to put in the tray support are the lines at the upright metal bar. I've made a lot of efforts, but still couldn't get each tray completely leveled. I can't push the tray down too hard because it will force the tray support down too. At the end, I have to accept that at some trays, one side is higher than the other side.
One of the review mentioned that he extended the total height of the shelf. That is why I bought two, hoping I can somehow extend it a little. But that's not possible unless I made modification to the unit. It is only made for 48" height, and there is no way to extend it. It looks incredibly short in the 9' basement.
Also, like another reviewer indicates, you can only put in 6 levels if you want to put in only DVDs. I tried to do 5 levels of DVD and 2 levels of CDs and that's not good either. Top shelf will be too short to be supported on both sides, and will look funny with dividers.
It's not a bad product. I just don't feel it's worth the high-mark review.
