We purchased this piece for our DVD collection and after assembly found that it is designed mainly as a CD storage or combination of CDs and DVDs. Our only complaint is that the top and bottom shelves can only be used as CD storage, if you want to use the top and bottom shelves for DVDs you must lay the DVDs on their sides and those two shelves are fixed so you cannot change them. The piece is good quality and assembles easily, other than the two short shelves I would recommend it!
