Prepac 4 Revolving Display Cabinet Media Storage, Large Four-Sided Spinning Tower, Espresso

Love this one. Directions for putting together could use some work, but it looks great now. Spinning could use some refinement. All my DVDs in one accessible place.

This media stand has incredible storage capacity without hogging an entire wall of your room. It's a quality product, made of sturdy wood that I'm confident will have no issues supporting a media collection, books, or any other odds and ends you may choose to put on the shelves.It takes up about as much space as a 5-foot-tall person would if you put a box around them and is suprisingly easy to assemble: there are a total of 12 pieces, not including screws, and all you need is a philips screwdriver and a hammer (hammer use is minimal, and mindless). Once it's assembled, it's relatively easy to lift (the boxes it comes in are HEAVY - one is 70 lbs; the second is smaller, but awkward to lift). The pieces are nicely labeled as being part of Box A or Box B, and are so easy to identify that there's no risk that you'll mistake one component for another.As someone else mentioned, be ready to spend some time cleaning off the sawdust that coats the packaging - it took me more time to clean off the assembled unit and shelves than it did to put it together.Storage capacity (MAX):- 26 CDs per shelf; max of 10 shelves per side (so if you wanted to fill all 4 sides with CDs, you could fit 26 x 10 x 4 = 1,040 CDs)- 18 DVDs per shelf; max of 7 shelves per side (so if you wanted to fill all 4 sides with DVDs, you could fit 18 x 7 x 4 = 504 DVDs)- 22 Blu-rays per shelf; max of 8 shelves per side (so if you wanted to fill all 4 sides with Blu-rays, you could fit 22 x 8 x 4 = 704 Blu-rays)Note: The above numbers assume that you're using basic CDs, DVDs, and Blu-rays (no box sets, etc.). Keep this in mind when figuring out whether or not this will be large enough to hold you current (and future) collection.Or, you can be like me and mix and match the above. I also have every intention of buying a second one of these to store my library of paper-back books :)*UPDATE*I did end up purchasing not just one, but two more of these units. They're fantastic at supporting books of all sizes, though the mass media paperbacks are definitely the most aesthetically pleasing fit: they end up inset about an inch from the edge of the shelves, so factor in the depth of the book when deciding whether or not you're comfortable with the "look" of books extending past the depth of the unit.For quantities (based on your typical 200-300 page mass-market paperpack):- ~10 Books per shelf; max of 7 shelves per side (so if you wanted to fill all 4 sides with mass-market paperback books, you could fit 10 x 7 x 4 = 280 Books)I'm personally alright with the "look" of the larger books on the shelves and can happily confirm that the shelves easily support my college text books (including the huge accounting and tax reference books I've accumulated).I will warn that when you're filling these units with whatever media/books/items you choose, be careful to distribute the weight evenly (e.g. fill opposite sides at the same time; make sure that you distribute the weight across the top and bottom of the shelves). The reason isn't that the unit won't support the weight, but when you go to turn it on the lazy susan, there's a risk that it can tip over if you only fill one side (or especially two adjacent sides) while leaving the rest of the unit empty.

Easy to assemble. The plastic lazy-susan (LS) included, does not allow a lot of weight in order to spin correctly, tower filled 3/4 full. I replaced the plastic LS for a steel LS that can withstand lots of weight. I've had this tower for over a year and still looks great. I will buy again when my collection gets bigger.

I recently ran into a problem where I was desperately running out of space on my old media rack. Too many video games, I suppose. At first I was thinking about getting a massive bookshelf of some kind, and I researched a ton of those, but the ones that could hold a lot of stuff were all quite large (obviously). I was put off of the idea since I don't have a lot of space in my apartment. That's when I stumbled onto the idea of a spinning media rack. This is probably the ABSOLUTE BEST choice when it comes to efficient storage of media. I decided to go for broke and get a really big one so that I could get maximum value.I decided on the espresso colored one because I wanted something that matched my pre-existing furniture and looked at least somewhat like real wood. I really don't care for the matte black stuff because it just reminds me of cheap and fake furniture. Thankfully, I wasn't disappointed; it looks quite nice fully assembled (see my customer pictures). I was trying to match this to a computer armoire in "antique black" paint, and it's not quite that dark, but the brown blends well enough with the dark brown of the armoire that I'm pretty pleased with it.I was pretty lucky in that my unit came completely undamaged. It took 3 hours to assemble fully, which isn't too bad. What is kind of bad are the instructions. They are a bit confusing in parts as they skip a few steps. If you aren't spatially-minded you might find it difficult to assemble this thing. My only advice is to keep in mind the function of the unit and the fully assembled form. You should be able to figure it out so long as you take your time and think critically about it. The thing that'll take the longest amount of time is simply putting in all the pegs for the adjustable shelves. Once fully assembled, the unit is quite heavy, but I found that you can easily slide it across the floor (so long as it's carpet) if all the shelves are off by pushing it from the bottom. It's quite sturdy feeling, but take care to load the shelves evenly so that it doesn't tip over.Now, onto the dimensions. It's an 18.75 in. by 18.75 in. square, and is 65 inches high. The important measurement though is the diagonal, which is 26.5 in. So, that means that if you're trying to fit this into a tiny space, you'll need at least 26.5 inches width and depth so that it can rotate fully. As for other measurements, the shelf depth is 5.75 in. Of course, you can stick a book on there that's wider, but it'll stick out past the edge if you do.Overall, I'm thoroughly pleased with this media rack and I'd strongly recommend it to anyone looking for a space-saving storage item that isn't hideous. It feels strong and sturdy, the particle board is the heavy firm kind that is of better quality than the cheaper crap, it spins nicely and easily, and the nice faux wood laminate sufficiently resembles real wood to make the unit look like real furniture. It certainly beats a crappy plastic rack in terms of aesthetics. So, yeah, I can't recommend this item highly enough!
