I am a huge collector of paperback books. It is hard to find bookcases for them because the depth is too much for paperbacks. I decided to try a media unit and this one is great! Very sturdy and great for everything. It is also the perfect height to store some things on top. The only thing I would mention is the the center shelf is not adjustable as mentioned in the description so you may need to work around that. [...] I am very happy with the purchase and if they come out with one in a higher capacity I would buy it right away!
