Atlantic Herrin Adjustable Media Cabinet 261 Weathered Oak PN74736269

I now own 3 Atlantic media shelving units! 2 of these particular "single sized" (Atlantic 74735728) shelving units, and one of the "double sized" ones (Atlantic PN38435720). I first bought the double sized one back in 2018, and have a positive review of that unit on here already. It has held up fine and moved with me once even. The first small one I bought was in 2020 and has held up for those years fine as well, so I have no fear for the new one I just received. I am careful and haven't broken any of them myself. In my lengthy review of the bigger double one, I pointed out that you must be CAREFUL with these particle board/"wood composite" products though, and that will always be the case. There is even a chance that they will come already broken from transit, and in that case you just return/replace using Amazon's procedures. To date, with all 3 units I've bought I have not had one come broken yet, so that's a plus. Atlantic flat packs them quite well. These units are not very deep, since they are designed specifically for DVD/Bluray/CD cases to be retrievable. Because of this, they are very... tilty... and want to fall backwards even when empty. They have always come with wall anchors to fasten them directly into your walls, so if you have any fear of them falling then use those. I would NOT trust any of these units to stand on their own without something to lean them back against though. You can see a 4th unit standing alone and away from the wall in my picture here (furthest left shelf), and it is NOT one of these Atlantics. Notice that one is built differently, and has longer feet front and back to allow it to stand alone with or without weight. The Atlantics WILL NOT do this. So I would lean them back against the wall, and if you wish use the provided anchors to keep them there. If there is an earthquake or something I'm sure they could topple forward. Remember these are CHEAP units, and you get what you pay for. So like I have mentioned just be careful when handling and building them. They aren't hard to build, just don't over tighten screws or you could break the cheap composite boards. If you are looking for nicer solid wood shelving you most likely will never find it for this price point. You would probably have to buy some more expensive bookcase to get better quality, so unless you want to go that route these composite shelves are what you're going to end up with. I checked other major stores online like... the orange hardware store, the blue and yellow electronics store, and of course the Swedish furniture store just to see what was out there to compare. Both the hardware store and electronics stores had Atlantic shelving for sale online, and one had another company that looked almost the same for a little more expensive. The furniture store of course has their own modular shelving units, but I'm sure you all know they have a similar quality of products for things like book shelves. Those will be larger though, with deeper shelves that won't display movie cases as nicely IMO, and won't be as retrievable. The Swedish store's shelving units all seem to be more expensive than Atlantic as well, especially if they're more solidly built. Long story short: if you're looking for SPECIFICALLY movie storage like I am, these are the go-to choice for the money, and multiple online stores sell Atlantic shelving. If you think you want thicker or deeper storage, or regular sized bookcases maybe look somewhere else. And if you need SOLID wood quality then definitely look elsewhere.

I have bought about two dozen of these Atlantic Oskar Media Towers over the past two years for a media library. They do work well for the job, are not difficult to assemble, and better than most others than I have found, however, I have found a few small caveats of which you may have concerns. 1. I have had trouble with the cardboard backs separating from the shelf. These backs give the shelf a great deal of strength and stability and are extremely necessary in making this a sturdy piece of furniture. The small nails supplied just do not do the job when nailed into the press board panels. After squaring the unit, I drilled small holes and used #6 metal screws to affix the backs. This was easy and worked very well. I got additional support by using wood glue on the ends of each wooden dowel before inserting them in each hole during the assembly instructions. The result was a tight, square, piece of furniture that I believe will last quite a while. 2. I don't know why, but do not expect shelves to be the same size, even if they are the same stock number. They will be similar, but not the same size. If you are going to attach several together, decide if you want the tops to be straight or the bottoms, you won't be able to have both. I opted for the tops and put shims under the bottoms. It is even worse if you order them at different times and worse yet if you order additional shelves a year later. 3. Also do not expect the single shelves to line up with the double shelving. Even though the measurements are close, it is not close enough to make it look good without using a table saw to re-saw the boards. 4. The thickness of the individual adjustable shelves can vary between lots from shelf to shelf. Luckily, I don't use all of my shelving and can move it around so it does not look too bad. Also, the shelves for the double units are not the same width as the single units. This will make an inexpensive installation of multiple shelving, but if you want it to look professional, I would look for something a little better. After I get my project done, and I know how many shelves that I will finally need, I plan on reordering 1 order of the same lot of a better shelving and getting rid of all of these mismatched pieces that I have accumulated over the past couple of years.

横文字ばかりで大変でした。横文字に弱いので苦労しましたよ。 DIYに慣れた人なら綺麗に組み上げるんでしょうね。 自分は不器用で若干ミスりました。

Strong media cabinet, the key is the unit is narrow so the shelves don't droop under the weight like a wider shelf would. I can put 30 cds on a shelf x 9 shelves = 270 cds. DVDs and blue rays are taller so there will be fewer shelves.It was easy to assemble but when you nail the back on start at the bottom and work your way up. I started at the top and the back panel was about 2 or 3 millimeters too long, making the shelf ever so slightly wobbly, I had to cut a little off that panel, but it wouldn't matter at the top because you would never see it up there. I recommend this cabinet, good price too with free shipping

Color matched the bigger one we bought before . good solid stand

ネジをするにも穴が空いていない。仕方ないから金槌で叩いていれたところもある。そんなことで、気分も悪くなり、普段しているようには丁寧に組み立てられなくなり、酷い仕上がりになった。組み立て家具で、このようなものに出会ったことはないから驚いた。買わない方が良い。

Got this a few months back, its currently holding close to 300 of my cds. With the weight of the cds the shelving system is very sturdy. I have no fear of it tipping over. Not the highest of quality material although it does pass as not looking cheap. I will be purchasing a second one in the coming months as my cd collection grows.
