The dimensions are perfect because so I can squeeze this media shelf wherever I have room. Putting it together is fairly simple and straightforward and it's light and easy to transport. There are enough adjustable shelves that you can store nothing but CDs, though if you store a lot of DVDs you will have shelves left over. So far it's sturdy, but I foresee a bit of a mess if there were some significant seismic activity. Overall it is a great product and I'm happy with this purchase.
