56" Triple Tower Media Storage

These are excellent shelving units for storing CDs, DVDs, Blu-Rays and VHS Tapes. They seem to be constructed very well and are fairly easy to put together as long as the directions are followed. If you have a lot of media to store (like I did) you will save yourself a lot of time if you plan how you're going to store your media before you start loading the shelves. The shelves have a trim piece that goes along the front edge of each side of the unit. These trim pieces somewhat limit the storage on each shelf as you can't get discs out of the corner unless you remove a disc somewhere in the middle of the shelf. That being said, here's my info and advice. The horizontal clear opening of each shelf is about 15 5/8". Each shelf holds approx. 40 CDs, 27 DVDs or Blu-Rays, or 15 VHS Tapes without having to put any behind the edge trim. Measure the linear inches of all of your media before you start loading the shelves then divide by the clear dimension. That will give you some idea as to how many shelves you'll need to store all of your media. I ended up having to buy two of these because of a door and light switch location that limited my wall space. The vertical clear opening is about 60 5/8". The dimension between each shelf for DVDs, Blu-Rays discs, and VHS tapes will be approx. 8 7/8" from top of shelf to top of shelf when the shelves are installed on the pins that are inserted into the sides of the unit. For CDs that dimension is approx. 6 1/4". If you set the shelves up like I did (VHS tapes on the bottom, CDs next, then DVDs and Blu-Rays on top you probably won't get all 9 shelves into the unit that come with it. I ended up getting 7 shelves into each unit and had to use one of the shelves to store DVDs on their sides. With my purchase of two of these units I chose to file my media in alphabetical order across the two units. That being said, I left some space on each shelf to add media as I go so I don't have to jockey too many discs are around when I add a disc to my collection. That allowed me to place some small display items on some of those shelves which adds to the look of the shelves.

Good media stand. Durable and holds quite a lot of DVDs which is why I got it. Looks nice and was easy to set up. Only gripe is box showed up damaged and the unit was scuffed up a bit, but luckily in places that ended up concealed.

I love this item so much and I am very happy that I purchased this item even though it wasn't what I had in mind.I was looking for a rack to hold my video games, but I also wanted it to look elegant and not cheaply made. This product is very well made and very beautiful, from the minute you walk into my living room you notice it. Best part is that it comes with interchangeable shelves that does not damage the design of the product. So you will be able to place what ever you like regardless the size and length. I read many reviews on this item before purchasing it and i have to agree with some of the things that was said. 1. It is very heavy, and huge! Its taller then me and I am a 5'4 female. 2. I notice in the reviews that a lot of people claim some of the shelves was not fully covered with the black paint. So I was prepared for that to be one of the problems I will have to face, but to my surprised that issued never occurred. It was completely covered with fresh paint, it had no marks or any white spots as mentioned so I am assuming that they took into consideration what the other customers was complaining about. 3. The instructions was not as easy to understand as I had hoped but they made sure to remind you to check if you received all the pieces before proceeding to put it together and if any was missing they had given you a number to contact. I really liked how they was willing to be so helpful, but I am also glad that I didn't need to call them. 4. Now this was almost a deal breaker; I purchase this item thinking it was meant to hold video games like a DVD rack but I to my surprise it was more like a book case. After building it and seeing how wonderfully it compliments the rest of my furniture plus the fact that I was able to change the shelves to what ever size I needed so that my games and limited/special edition cases can fit perfectly is what convinced me to keep it. 5. Also it is build to last!!! Besides that I honestly believe that this is an amazing product for that cheap price and once i get paid again i do plan on buying another one!

Storage cabinets for CD’s, DVD’s and VHS tapes are becoming as obsolete as the media they are meant to store, no company wants to make the investment to design anything worthwhile so virtually everything being sold is junk. Including this one. The big difference is that most of the others sell for about $45 bucks, which is about what they are worth. This one’s price is in the stratosphere and before you read another word, take my advice, it’s not worth it. I bought it for one reason, I have a lot of audio and video recordings on those obsolete formats and they are scattered all over the house. Almost every cabinet that holds a large quantity of media is low profile so it takes up a lot of floor space, which is at a premium in my house. This one is unusually tall and has a unique width that fits exactly between my closet door and the corner of the room. That is the one and only reason I kept it. If you are still considering this product, then at least read the following information and tips so you know what you are getting in for. TIP 1 When I am shopping for something I start with the one star reviews, they are usually the most informative about what’s wrong with a product and least likely to be bogus reviews placed by the seller or people who got free samples. Here’s what you will find in those low rating reviews. That they (a Canadian company, not Chinese) are careless to the point of irresponsibility in prepping it to get to you – everything is carelessly tossed inside with no protection other than a white foam that is carelessly sprayed all over the parts themselves. It absolutely does not come off no matter what I’ve tried, if you care at all about how the finished cabinet looks you will be disappointed, the ugly white foam covers many of the parts that show. TIP 2 Like most cheap RTA (ready to assemble) furniture this is made from MDA which is a way of hiding the fact that it is compressed sawdust covered with an extremely thin vinyl. There are actually some fairly nice products made from MDA, this isn’t one of them, it is the lowest grade like you would find at the dollar store. Except this costs many dollars, it is unbelievably overpriced. Compared to other products this should sell for no more than forty-five bucks at the most. TIP 3 Unlike most Chinese-made furniture that is usually precisely sized this looks like someone made it in their back yard after a few beers. Those useless front trim pieces that so many complain about because they make CD/DVD cases at either end impossible to access are about an eighth of an inch too long. I had to cut them with a hacksaw. No one who buys a cabinet that costs this much should have to correct pieces that are made incorrectly. IF you aren’t handy with shop tools, do not buy this cabinet. TIP 4 The flimsy piece of cardboard they call a back panel is too small. If you nail it on like you would on similar cabinets the tall sides are pulled in too much which results in the shelves not fitting. The instructions don’t say a word about this. The guy who made this could have avoided this problem if he had just put a fixed shelf mid-way between the top and bottom. SOLUTION: and this is a must – before you start to nail the back on install two shelves, one 8 peg holes down from the top and one 8 peg holes up from the bottom. That will spread the sides enough while you attach the cardboard back so you can then install (and adjust) the rest of the shelves. And by the way, they use the absolute cheapest aluminum nails that bend at the slightest tap. TIP 5 This is another must-do. I recommend never assembling any RTA furniture without using a good grade of wood glue. You will never end up with a serviceable item if you don’t. And it is especially true with something like this that uses absolutely no bracing of any kind. Glue every wood-to-wood surface except the shelves of course. TIP 6 I have never seen any company include a black felt marker for you to touch up their mistakes. And you will need it. Fortunately it matches close enough to cover places where the thin vinyl is scratched or marred. YES OR NO As I said I didn’t return this because it fits the space I have available and it’s not in a location where looking good is that important to me. After it was assembled, with me correcting their mistakes, it holds my remaining library of CD’s, DVD’s and VHS tapes. I can’t recommend it for all of the reasons covered above but most of all because it is unbelievably shoddy for the price which is way too high.

I bought 2 of these units and they represented a great value and were just what I was looking for. Shipping was prompt and the units arrived in good condition, with no damage and all the parts present. The instructions were clear and the assembly was straightforward and easy. These units realistically hold 196 DVDs per unit, on 6 shelves + the bottom cabinet shelf. These units are stylish and functional. The only negative was the back panel, it was in two pieces taped together. When the shelves were inserted into the cabinet, the tape came loose from the panels on both cases. A one piece back would be much better, but this was not a huge deal as the DVDs cover up the flaw when the shelf is loaded. If you are looking for mass DVD or CD storage in a tight, smart looking case, these are for you.

As an owner of 7,500+ CDs and box sets, I’m becoming increasingly cognizant of two concepts: space and value. I own a bunch of Boltz 600-CD units, and while they are an amazing rack, at over $300.00 shipped, they’re not exactly bargain basement. Simply put: I just could not afford to keep buying Boltz racks, as much as I like 'em. I searched every nook and cranny of Amazon.com for a rack that would fit my spatial and financial requirements. Enter this Prepac unit. While it doesn’t hold as many discs as the Boltz, nor does it catch the eye nearly as much, it’s a fraction of the price and looks pretty good nonetheless. The finish is high enough in grade that I don’t really care about spending more, and for a rack that holds close to 400 discs (at least the way I space them, excluding the generously sized top, which can also hold a number of large-ish box sets), it occupies an agreeably small amount of space. My one major gripe about the rack is that the back-panel piece is too small. Even fully stretched, it still doesn’t fully cover the back of the rack. That makes pounding nails a LOT more of a precision endeavor than it should be. The piece really does need to be cut more carefully and accurately. Just my opinion, of course. It’s hard to pick many major nits at this price, but that would be my biggest one. I currently own two of these and am pretty happy. I'll definitely be adding more at some point. Are they Boltz-grade? No. But at the price, they offer an outstanding capacity/dollar value and are surprisingly well built. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone shopping just short of best-of-the-best. They’re a truly terrific unit.

Overpriced for basic particleboard. At least it will get our DVDs picked up and fit in the space I need it to. The back board doesn't even fit the full back. It's at least 1/4 of an inch short on one side, which is how I chipped off a corner on the inside while putting it together. Thankfully a black marker or paint will cover in the corner as it's difficult to see. But then just a little lower than that, one of the nails bent and went through the outer side. Could be worse but it's price is ridiculous (and I got it on sale). I'll be searching thrift stores for an actual wood replacement. Overall, poor design like everything is nowadays. Better regulation would stop this nonsense. At least directions were easy to follow and all parts were there.

This is an acceptable piece of furniture for the money. It was solidly packaged and easy to assemble. It looks nice and holds a lot of CDs. However, there are 3 issues with this product: 1. It is absolutely the dirtiest piece of this prefab stuff I have ever bought. After several weeks, I am still finding sawdust/residue from the packing. 2. The top piece is not properly painted and will required me to buy a brush and paint all the way around the the underside of the upper edge. 3. The design is flawed and you have to leave CDs sticking out on each side of each shelf as "book ends" or the CDs retract behind the front edging and are unreachable without pulling other CDs out.

Un bon deal car acheté d'occasion pour cause de défauts cosmétiques alors qu'en fait c'est quasi imperceptible. Sinon je ne sais pas si je l'aurais acheté le plein prix. Pas compliqué à monter, juste un peu long. J'ai eu peur en clouant le fond de taper "à coté" et que ça se voit sur l'endroit car le fond est un peu plus petit que les rebords où il doit être cloué, faut vraiment y faire attention. J'ai eu du mal à bien insérer les barres latérales, à faire en sorte que les chevilles en plastique soient bien enfoncées dans les deux parties du meuble. A part ça, pas mal d'espace de stockage de CD et DVD. Je ne sais pas si c'est robuste, on verra avec le temps, mais ça a l'air assez solide, et également stable (je ne l'ai pas fixé au mur) une fois bien remplie. Le seul truc potentiellement gênant, ce sont les rebords sur les cotés et en hauts, qui cache un peu les CD/DVD, mais c'est vraiment mineur.

It's a nice looking bookcase but one crucial design flaw to it is that the side panels that give it a finished look also blocks a full movie on either side and in order to get the movies hidden out you need to pull another movie out first to move everything over. Why design a bookcase that can be used for movies but make it so it covers over two movies on each shelf. I had plans to get more of these but seeing the first one I built, I'm going to look for something else

There are not too many options left for CD racks, so it is good that a Canadian company provides a quality choice that looks good as well. I will buy another tower from them for more storage soon. Pros - Looks great - Holds a lot of CDs in a small footprint - Good assembly instructions To be improved - It seems like my flat pack box was packed next to a running table saw with no dust venting. Wow. I have never seen so much sawdust in a flat pack box. I had to wipe and clean everything about 5 times during assembly (needed two rags on-the-go for this). Prepac should look at their boxing process and ensure pieces/edges are quickly vacuumed before packing. - the cable tie mounting is not a good idea. It neither provides fixed support (no movement), nor flush mounting to wall. Also, not all installations will have free space on either side of the tower, and in such cases it is very hard to get the cable tie secured in a tight space. I installed it, but it is not an acceptable solution, so I will remove the cable tie mount and use a standard l-bracket from my own tool box.

This unit arrived in great condition. There was even a touch up pen included but we didn't need it. It went together very easily with clear instructions. We had the finished product on carpet. With nothing in it we found it to be a bit tippy front and back but would have expected that. We did not use the hardware provided to attach the unit to the wall but did put a screw through the backing, through a 1/4 inch wood spacer and into the anchor provided with the hardware. Worded great and the unit is very stable now. The DVD's fit perfectly with 3 shelves left over and I was pleasantly surprised at how much it could hold. Very happy with this purchase. Just as advertised and looks great.

Packaging was fine but boards were broken inside. Returning was a major pain as the box is too big for most purolator/canada post drop off points. Had to schedule a special pickup during my work hours.
