The shelving unit I purchased for my DVD's is a space saver, I could have almost bought two. It is not as tall as the picture portrays it and is worth measuring if you aren't sure if it will fit in a space you might need it for. Had some extra shelves left over. Depending on how you arrange it it will hold as about as much as it can fit. While I have a small film collection right now there is still plenty of room to add and while it is might be temporary storage it does what I need it for and I have direct access to my films and can see them.
