Customer Review: Well worth the price!
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased two of these and love them. The modern design fits in with my decor and they are attractive. The only reason I did not give it five stars is because of the assembly. It only took me about 10-15 mins to assemble however it is difficult to attach the base with the plastic nuts (Hard to get them threaded) and the special tool they give you to tighten these nuts is made of flimsy metal that bends out of shape when you use it. I chose not to attach the little rubber feet and I think that helps it be more sturdy. If you are worried about it tipping sideways, you could also use an adhesive cable lock (those little plastic circular things that hold a/v cables or electrical cords that stick to the baseboard/wall). You could put one on one of the rails and stick it to the wall. The DVDs will hide it. Just an idea. Overall I was very pleased with this purchase.Customer Review: Doesn't Hold Advertised Capacity, can't move it, balls do not stay on
Summary: 1 Stars
I got this via FedEx today. Shipping was incredibly fast as usual with FedEx, but unfortunately that is where the goodness ends. I opened it up and it was much smaller than I expected. I can only hold around 60 DVD's and not the 74 it is supposed to. These are normal DVDs, and not box sets either. It was easy to put together just 4 screws on the bottom which were tricky to get in. You cannot move the stand much because it is hard to when there are DVD's on it. It falls apart at the mid-section where the 2 metal pieces are Jointed together with no clip or anything to hold it in place. The balls on the top for decoration were very hard to put on and some did not fit at all. It is somewhat wobbly but not too bad. I will be returning this product because I am very upset with it. It looks nice, that is about the only thing I can vouch for it.Customer Review: Product Description Misleading
Summary: 1 Stars
At the image of the item on this webpage, Amazon describes this item as a "1316 110 CD" rack. CD? The image shows DVDs in the rack, and its description later in the webpage says it holds 74 "DVDs" -- which is also consistent with its reviews being for a "DVD" rack. But . . .
Shouldn't have to take a chance that Amazon might take my order for an item called a "CD" rack at face value and sends a "CD" rack when I want a "DVD" rack. Not unlikely since Amazon also lists elsewhere a rack with the identical name ("Atlantic 1316 110 CD") which does have an image showing the rack containing CDs -- and its reviews are for a "CD" rack.
So I'm just giving it one star for now. Sounds like a real nice DVD rack based on all the good reviews -- and a nice "DVD" rack is what I want.

Customer Review: Very nice set for price
Summary: 5 Stars
I just recieved this in the mail about an hour ago. I had it up holding DVD's in roughly 5 minutes, no more. 4-step instructions, nothing difficult to put together. The little wooden balls on the top fit just fine compared to some other problems that people on here have had.
Looks very good, simple stand, cheap, worth it for the price!
Cons:
It is solid on hardwood, but on my carpet it is wobbly. you are given 4 little rubberized stand things to put it on, and they do not do the greatest job, but for the price you pay for it, and the looks, i do not think you can do much better.
Box sets do not work the best in here, probably have to move the wire some to get all of them to fit in lengthways.
Overall:
Very good bang for buck stand!

I guess it's decent considering the price, but it certainly didn't meet my expectations. I received it as a gift. When it arrived I was so excited to put it together right away. As one reviewer already mentioned, it defies assembly. The screws that connect the bottom part with the base are impossible to put in. Either the manufacturers didn't test the product at all or they tested with the incredible hulk. If there isn't a strong man in your household, I suggest you pass up on this one. And how come there's nothing to bolt the connection between the top part and the bottom part?
Having said that, it holds many DVDs and looks pretty nice. I guess you really get what you pay for.
