Atlantic Oskar Media Cabinet - Holds 464 CDs, or 228 DVDs, or 276 Blu-rays, 12 Adjustable and 4 fixed shelves, PN 38435719 in Espresso

This was a tough one because there are a lot of factors at play here. It's particle board, which is why it's cheap. The cam lock fasteners aren't great but once assembled and in place it seems plenty sturdy for media storage (I had to retighten them after moving it in place as they'd wiggled loose a bit). Be advised that it seems amazon is shipping a lot of these via UPS - and I don't know if it's that courier or just the way the product is handled in warehouses but mine showed up with barely a box left; they may as well have shipped it in a plastic grocery bag. It also arrived 4 days later than promised (but I guess thats just the deal you get with Prime these days, right?). Despite that, except for a few chipped corners, all parts and hardware were still there so that's a plus! Assembly was simple, it took me 10 minutes by myself. Instructions are clear pictures with written instructions, also goes together intuitively. So yeah there are issues; but also, it's a great price point for what you get. Once the backing is secured, it actually feels very sturdy, and you can't beat the capacity for the small footprint! It looks clean and simple, has lots of shelves and options for adjustment, fits about anywhere you'd like to put it, and is designed in such a way that if you ever needed extra storage one day, adding one beside the existing would look seamless (a huge bonus for media collectors!). All in, I can't give it less than 5 stars. I'd buy it again!

I purchased one of these intially as a test, since some of the reviews had me a tad skittish over buying it. Once I got it I found the shelf was pretty securely packaged in its box, and once I started building it the process wasn't too bad. I nearly made one small mistep at the start but it was easy to fix before I got any further. Pay close attention to how you have each wood panel arranged, because it DOES matter when you're building it. I think a lot of people's issues were from them not getting the panels to face the correct direction. After I built it and had it up against my wall it was perfect for holding media. The adjustable shelves were nice and I was able to put a lot of manga, DVDs, and VHS tapes on it. One shelf wasn't enough for the amount of media I had to store so I ordered a 2nd one and I put it together more easier than the first shelf. Together they are perfect. I then bought two more a few weeks after that to redo my library and now I have 4 of these things covered in media. I'm very happy with this product and I would recommend it to other people if they need something that's designed for media storage. I gave 4 out of 5 stars for sturdiness because it's a tad 'shakey' when you're trying to move it around to where you want it. Once you get where you need it and fix it in place it's very solid and I've had no issue. Just be careful when you've moving it from room to room after you put it together.

UPDATE (2024): I ordered a second unit and one of the side panels had significant quality control problems. The plastic grommet was partially filled with residual plastic, and all of the other holes on the panel had the vinyl wood veneer partially overlapping them. So I had to carefully fix all these issues with an X-Acto knife. While this wasn't a big issue for me as I'm a retired R&D engineer and son of a carpenter, I'm not sure the average consumer would have recognized what the issues were and been able to so easily fix them. So while my original review stands, and the second unit came together just as sturdy and good looking as the first, I had to take off a star as a warning to other consumers and Atlantic Oskar. One or two minor defects would have been fine, but a panel with every hole defective should never have been shipped. ORIGINAL (2021): I wasn't quite sure whether or not to purchase the Atlantic Oskar Adjustable Media Cabinet because of mixed reviews, with some claiming it was of poor quality, difficult to assemble, flimsy or unstable after assembly, etc. However I found none of that to be true for the unit I received, and I'm very happy with it. It looks good, is very sturdy and stable, and was relatively easy to assemble. My suspicion is that, because of the similarity of the parts, many people are assembling the unit incorrectly. It's really not difficult to assemble, but you have to look very closely at the pictures and make sure you're using the correct parts in the correct orientation. For example, the side and middle planks look almost identical, except 3 have lock nuts on the end and 3 don't. And the bottom plank has to be correctly oriented or the screws attaching it won't be countersunk and instead protrude a bit from the bottom. And when you turn the unit over to nail on the backboard you have to hold the middle to support it a bit because the extra lip on the bottom holds one end up a few inches making it slanted when it's on its face. However I've assembled many pieces of furniture over the decades and this is par for the course for any assemble-it-yourself unit. The bottom line is that this unit is actually above average in quality and ease of assembly, and I highly recommend it.

Pour ma part, ça m’a coûté 50$ de plus, à cause du transport. C'est un très bon meuble et il est facile de faire l'assemblage. Tous les trous sont concentriques avec la quincaillerie. Je peux ranger environ 240 DVD, sans compter le dessus du meuble. Les points négatifs sont: Les égratignures (très facile de rayer votre bibliothèque) et; Avec le temps, non seulement le meuble change de couleur très vite, mais, à force de passer un linge pour le dépoussiérer, les arêtes vives du meuble n’ont plus de peinture. J’avais déjà acheté un meuble identique à celui-ci chez WAL-MART (50$), il y a 3 ans, mais ils en ont plus en magasin. Donc, vérifier avec Wal-Mart s’ils ont ce meuble en magasin, vous allez payer beaucoup moins cher.

Calidad muy buena aunque el armado es un poco complicado en la cuestión de que puede quedar un poco flojo si no ajustas bien las partes y a mi parecer es un poco pequeño aunque es perfecto para poner los funko pops o mangas panini y videojuegos pero libros muy grandes no

El mueble es bonito, llego completo y es fácil de armar, lo único no tan bueno son los clavos para las repisas que se safan si se mueve de más.

Easy to install. Enough shelf to help organize my CD collection of different sizes.

Very basic and not super sturdy, but good enough for storing your entire dvd collection. You have the option of securing it to the wall for added safety and maybe also stability. Assembly was simple enough, provided you READ and FOLLOW the instructions! I think all the negative reviews reflect how rough people are assembling this unit. There is absolutely no need to overnighten any of the screws/fasteners. If you do, you WILL break it as the material is on the flimsy side and only particle board. NOTE: Handle with care and you should be ok. For me, it is exactly what I was looking for and serves my purpose perfectly. My rating is 4 stars b/c the quality is questionable due to the particle board construction.
