Atlantic, Canoe Wood Multimedia Cabinet

The product was horrible, I am very good at putting things together and following the instructions. The materials were not of vey good quality and that made it impossible for it to be sturdy enough for use. I threw it in the dumpster after it was put together .

I already had one on these on one side of my big screan TV and I needed another one to put on the other side. I thought it was more brown like in the picture and it is not. It is actually black which is the color I was wanting. Easy to put together and very strong.

The complete back of the shelving unit is card board! I was not happy with that at all. Putting it together was a little fustrating because I felt that it was not stable enough with the pegs and little nails that came with it so I had to use my own nails (about 8) just to secure the whole thing better. That back card board is flimsy and could easily be damged when putting things and taking things off the shelf you shouldn't press objects up against the back for fear of ripping or puncturing it. You get what you pay for. I got it because I wanted something cheap and slim that looked halfway decent. It does look nicer than most dvd shelf options out there just wish the quality was a little better.

This product is the best value for the money of all brands of media racks I have seen. However, it is not easy to assemble because there are no written instructions and the pictures are hard to interpret. I found it helpful, after finishing the assembly, to apply some wood glue to where the joined pieces tended to spread apart. Now it seems very sturdy, and it holds lots of DVDs.

This product was pretty good quality for the price I paid. I'm not very handy and it was pretty easy to put together. No complaints there. Biggest problem was the website didn't say the color of it so I was guessing based on the picture. When I got it out it is without a doubt black. If not its the darkest wood known to man. Also if you're filling it with DVDs or VHS you can only use 4 of the 6 shelves it comes with because there is not enough room. The canoe shape does block the top and bottom corners so put your embarrasing DVDs there. Overall it is nice if you want a BLACK storage unit that holds about 100 DVDs/VHS.
