Prepac Triple Width Wall Storage Cabinet, Black

My teen and I have gotten into collecting physical media again and needed a nice big shelf to hold our DVDs, video games and CDs. I was a little skeptical but it was the only thing I could afford that seemed large enough. I've never, ever put together any sort of furniture before, unless you count a desk chair... But me and my 15yr old whipped this together in under 2hrs. It's sturdy and the only issues we had while assembling were our own user errors. #skillissue (We hammered in some nails that ended up sticking out, hahah. So now we joke about how she looks bad on the inside but great on the outside) But we got her up and in the living room and she looks great. We're planning on getting a 2nd one soon. Would certainly suggest if you're looking for nice value for an affordable price.

I’m someone who reads reviews and reviews and comes through negative reviews and debates on which one to get. I have to say this is very simple if you’re someone who doesn’t have a lot of tools. And the outcome is outstanding. I’m very happy with this media shelf. I use for video games.

Overall this has worked out perfectly. Quite easy to assemble (except for installing the back). Overall quality and fit and finish is good (mine is black). Shelves fit very well and have concave slots to hold them in place on the shelf support pins (nice touch). I think this definitely worth the price and I am very happy with the finished result. A one star demerit for minor problems I had with installing the back (see below).RE the back panel: The back panel is three separate pieces, each with a fold in the middle held together by tape. One of the pieces in my kit had the tape improperly applied so it could not be fully folded flat. I fixed this by removing the factory tape and replacing it with good ole duct tape.A couple of other tips for installing the back. Temporarily install the center shelves (as recommended, to keep the structure square) but place the cabinet face down (not vertical as the instructions say) on a carpeted surface. Also, predrill the holes for the nails rather than trying to just pound them in place. That way you can accurately control where they are going. This is important, especially for the nails that go into the center two vertical shelf supports (it's really easy to miss the support and have the nails protrude into the shelf space). When pre drilling you can angle the nails so that they are directed toward the shelf supports rather than going straight down.In my kit there were an insufficient quantity of nails and I had to supplement them with some I had on hand to match the recommended nail placement shown in the instructions.It is important to fasten the top of the cabinet securely to the wall. When fully loaded with CD's it is quite top heavy. I did not use the single fasten point method recommended in the instructions. Instead I installed a 36" long 1x2 to the wall with 3" screws fastened into two studs (16" stud spacing) and installed two eye screws (spaced to align with center shelf supports on the cabinet). I also installed eye screws on the center shelf supports. I placed a spacer block between the wall and the top of the cabinet back and used heavy duty tie wraps to pull the top of the cabinet firmly against the spacer. Very secure and no chance of falling over.

I used this shelf for my automotive cleaning products in my garage, works perfect as you can adjust the shelves as to how you want them based on the size of the cleaning products, lots of shelves to adjust & customize how you want. Good price & value ! !

Held all 260 of my DVDs along with a handful of books! Pretty easy to assemble

I bought two of these (because I've got a ton of movies) and both were covered in sawdust inside the box. After a lot of cleaning with a damp microfiber cloth, it was revealed several of the parts were damaged with scratches and chips. Exchanging wasn't feasible because this is one of those products where after you unpack it have fun figuring out how to fit it all back into the box. Plus the box is too heavy to lift myself and wouldn't fit in my Corvette anyway for taking to a drop-off location, so between the two cabinets I did what I could to "hide" most of the damage during my customizations.Yes, customizations. I bought these to hang on a wall above my couch instead of being on the floor as intended. So the bottom board was trimmed narrower to be the same width as the top board, and new holes were drilled for attaching the vertical dividers. Because this would be viewed from below rather than from above, custom color-matched paint was bought for painting all the shelf bottoms because they're laminated only on the top sides and I didn't want "raw wood" visible. I used this custom paint mix to also touch up all the damaged areas. Nothing is included for covering up the silver cams and assembly screws, so I bought 3/4" round black stickers to cover them. Metal brackets mounted into wall studs above and below hold it securely to the wall, and remote control color-changing LED lighting was added to the bottom.I expected it to hold more DVDs and blu-rays than it does. You cannot have the adjustable shelves optimized for dense storage because then you're left with one very small row. Instead I needed to increase the shelf spacing slightly so they're all equally-spaced (looks better visually), and this wastes several inches of potential storage space. This cabinet maybe works great for CD storage or a mixture of CD and DVD, but as just a DVD cabinet the shelving is not optimal. Still, despite all its issues and damage, I was able to turn it into a halfway decent shelving unit for all my DVDs and blu-rays.
