A couple of things surprised me about this rack.  First, it took over half an hour to assemble.  There are a fair amount of pieces and a lot that need to be screwed in, and if not careful, the back bar may or may not be at the same angle on every level.  It also took me a while to get it to sit flat on the floor.  It's plastic and very lightweight, meaning it can be knocked over if not careful.  Mounting it to a wall (there are brackets and screws provided for this) would obviously help with that.  It's very easy for DVDs to fall so they are not sitting flush, instead at an angle.  I don't think this is necessarily bad, I just like things to be neatly in order.  Overall, I paid for a no-frills, low-cost rack, and that's what I got.
