This CD rack is great. Using it only for CDs my husband was able to fit his 1,000+ CDs and still have room to spare. It's about shoulder height, is sturdy, and the top is wide enough that we're able to use it to display special box sets and knick knacks. The finish is nice and it was pretty easy to put together, too. The most time consuming part was putting in all of the shelves. Nice that it came with these additional plastic pieces to steady the shelves and prevent them from sagging. If you have a lot of media, this is definitely worth the money.
