I love this unit. Im an old dvd collector 289 dvds.. and have been looking for a single storage solution and this works perfectly. I display my collector case dvds sideways and a few knickknacks on the CD shelves... but you can fit additional dvds sideways as well. Ive got 2 more units on my wish list as I want to expand my collection and display more items without putting more holes in walls for individual shelves.  Looking at previous reviews, we took care and used the drill to get the screws going but then hand tightened to avoid splits. Highly recomend!!
