I spent a lot of time searching and contemplating new storage for my large CD collection. I had 3 racks made by Atlantic that cost $90 each. They hadn't survived well over the years and multiple moves.
I bought 2 of these racks. They were simple to assemble by myself. The only issue was the back panels. I needed to lean the racks over in order to slide the back panels in. Per a suggestion I read in some reviews, I used some wood glue on the wooden dowels to ensure extra stability and rigidity.
The double boxing worked perfectly during shipping. All the major pieces were undamaged. The inner box was pretty much undamaged.
If I had to complain about anything, it would be the material of the back panels. It is easily dented and had some damage on the corners from shipping and while sliding them into the channels on the upright pieces.
Overall, I am extremely happy with these racks and would recommend them 100%.
