I ordered two of these about 8 months ago.  Yes, they can be a bit of chore to put together but if you can read instructions they are easy to assemble...just a bit time-consuming.  Overall, I love these!  My movie collection is over 400 and consists of DVDs and VHS tapes.  I was able to accommodate all of my collection with one side of the rack to spare.  Very compact, really tidied up my apartment, and makes selecting a movie a piece of cake.  Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to maximize limited real estate.
