Prepac 2 Column Display Cabinet Media Storage, 38.75" Wide, Black

First of all this is particle board furniture and I'm reviewing it as such. I built two. If you want something nicer, wayfair has nicer and more expensive stuff. After I finished putting the two units together, they were sturdy and didn't wobble. A one star review I read said that they fell apart when they were carried up the stairs. I'm certain that if you pick them up by the top, they would come apart. The top is held on by a push in wooden dowel and one dowel that expands when you turn the cam. I had to carry my first one up the stairs and I was careful to pick it up by the walls and not the top or the bottom and I left the shelves out. I had no problem. I read another review that said the back was made out of carboard. The backs for mine appeared to be made out of something that I consider a step up from particle board. The instructions tell you to put the back on with the unit standing and some shelves in, probably to keep it square. I laid mine down face down and squared it up with a carpenter's square (you can buy one for probably 10-15 at home depot. A cheap one is fine). Until the backs are on you can wiggle the unit some to get it square and it's a lot less frustrating to locate and nail the back on with it laying down. If you don't have a square you probably need to put the back on it with the unit standing up and with shelves in it to get it square. A one star review criticized the unit for having a loose fit for the screws holding the bottom on thus causing the screws to strip. They are a loose fit to make them easier to screw in. I suspect if you use a power tool to put the screws in that they would strip in the particle board. Finally pay attention to how you orient the uprights before you start screwing them in. The one with holes on both sides goes in the middle. The two outside pieces are made left and right if you want the cam screw to face the inside where it won't be visible. The instructions don't tell you to watch out for this. When I finished my units had no wobble. I also like the fact that the base protrudes toward the front making it more likely, in my amateurish opinion, that it doesn't tip over. I didn't bother with the wall anchors and I liked not having to tear up my sheet rock. All the holes lined up and the shelf supports were either a push fit or a light tap fit. I'm no kind of handyman, yet the assembly was easy except for putting the back in. I probably spent 3-4 hours unpacking the stuff and putting 2 of them together. My major complaint is that the box was full of sawdust. My wife immediately had the vacuum out. The units had a strong wood smell which lasted for a day or two, which the wife hated. I thought it was ok. I thought the units looked nice when finished but I wouldn't consider them to be furniture. I never write reviews. I'm doing so in the case because I think some of the reviews were a little off base from my experience.

This is exactly what i needed for my Movies, ill be putting up the 2nd shelf that i have ordered, im making my Bedroom into a Movie Library. So ill be buying more Shelves soon

At this point, I've bought and assembled 4 Double Width, 1 Triple Width and 1 Quad Width Wall Storage Cabinets (each are separate product listings on Amazon), to fill half a room with media storage, and I've been satisfied with Prepac's product. Each of the cabinets arrived without anything but the most minor cosmetic damage. All of the proper parts, hardware and instructions have been included, and assembly has been relatively simple. A power drill has been helpful to get the longer base screws into all of the vertical panels, but I have used a manual screwdriver to get them in as well. The composite board these are made from is relatively dense, giving the cabinets some weight and durability. The included nail-on gliders on the bottom helped me get the cabinets in place without scratching the floor. The cabinets are strong enough to completely fill with CDs, DVDs and or blu-rays without any bowing, leaning, or other concerns with the build quality. They're strong and stable enough, as long as they're against the wall.NOTE: These are made to be at least placed against walls, if not fastened to walls. For stability, the bases protrude about 3 inches in front and almost 2 inches on each side, but not at all in the back, so if not at least placed against a wall, it can tip over backward pretty easily. I've arranged my room to place 2 of the cabinets back-to-back and that's been stable. As for the hardware included to fasten them to walls, people seem to complain about these, and prefer finding their own solution for that. I've been fine with setting them along my walls, and back-to-back.The most trouble I've had with assembly is properly lining up and nailing on the hard paperboard backings and fitting the metal shelf pegs into the interior holes, as some of them can be pretty tight. I've used light tapping with a mallet and learned not to push them in all the way if they're hard to get in there, and that's worked well for me if I need to remove them to adjust the shelves.My all-over satisfaction with all of the various Prepac cabinets has been generally high. They do the job well, but don't reach my highest ideal. I decided to go with these after reading reviews and considering the alternatives, this seemed like my best option without spending a lot more, having shelves custom-built, et cetera.One thing I'd have really appreciated with the double-width and triple-width cabinets is if they were taller by the height of 1 or 2 CD sized shelves. That would make the cabinets the best size for CD, DVD and blu-ray cases to be placed on shelves vertically, meaning 9-10 CD case shelves tall, 6-7 DVD case shelves tall, or 7-8 blu-ray case shelves tall. The way these are, if you space the shelves for the height of the cases, you can have 6 blu-ray-height shelves with room left over, or 5 DVD-height shelves with room left over for 1 shelf of CDs. If you're not storing CDs in there, you can have an extra shelf where you stack cases on their sides, but another 5 1/2 inches of height would have gone a long way. As these are, the height is only slightly over half the height of my walls, but they still offer a lot of storage. The quad-width cabinet is taller, meaning significantly more shelving for movies.Here are my notes on actual, real world storage capacity, using real disc cases, and ensuring they fit comfortably in the shelves without squeezing them in too tightly. For CDs, I used all standard single-width jewel cases for measurement. For DVDs, I used all standard-width DVD cases. For blu-rays, the cases range in width so often, and also often blu-rays are sold with slipcovers, in steelbooks, etc., I used the average single releases in my collection. If you're storing only the normal slim blue cases, you'll be able to fit more blu-rays on the shelves. Also, this reporting is based on storage similar to described above, without consideration for stacking cases in horizontally to use up the excess space, also without consideration for being able to place anything on top of the cabinets.40 CDs per shelf: double width cabinet capacity (16 shelves) = 640 CDs; triple width cabinet capacity (24 shelves) = 960 CDs; quad width cabinet capacity (38 shelves) = 1,520 CDs28 DVDs per shelf: double width cabinet capacity (10 shelves) = 280 DVDs; triple width cabinet capacity (15 shelves) = 420 DVDs; quad width cabinet capacity (26 shelves) = 728 DVDs30 blu-rays wide per shelf: double width cabinet capacity (12 shelves) = 360 blu-rays; triple width cabinet capacity (18 shelves) = 540 blu-rays; quad width capacity (30 shelves) = 900 blu-raysI can recommend these cabinets to anyone who doesn't need anything too fancy. They do make my large collection look handsome, and they're good, stable shelves. They're pretty clearly composite board cabinets I bought and assembled, not pieces of hardwood furniture, but they're nice for what they are. They're available and affordable. After buying 6 cabinets of varying sizes and having no significant complaint about them, the Prepac cabinets get my stamp of approval.

As described and as expected - need phillips and flat head screwdrivers
