I read the reviews and placed the order.  This unit did not disappoint.  Its compact, slender design and cherry color complimented the Altra Carson coffee table I purchased. It does not take up a lot of room, I have approximately 75 DVDs  on one side with room for about 20 +more and over 282 CDs on the other side...each shelf holds 42 or 43 CDs. I love it!
