We ordered this knowing it would hold most of our DVD's.  It replaces a tower that spun around, and took up lots of floor space.  This is slim, and does it's job.  The drawbacks are:  it's cheap, and when putting ours together, laying on the floor to put the back on, the two pieces split apart already.  We have to go buy some kind of strap that will tie the pieces together for stability.  I don't know how this will hold up with multiple military moves either.  This was the tallest tower I could find.  May get one more.  I think it is overpriced for the quality, but for function, it is perfect.
