I needed a better place to store all my music CDs and DVD-As. Finding space in the living room was not easy. I had a small alcove space about 22 inches wide between the built-in bookshelves and the wall. I started looking for something that would fit and I found this slim barrister tower. Its 19 inches wide so it fit perfectly. It is tall enough that it stores a substantial number of disks.It has six adjustable shelves and holds well over 300 CDs. It is made of fiberboard, but it seems solid. It was easy to put together. All I needed was a hammer and a couple of screwdrivers. The product, when assembled, was solid. Although it is no heirloom furniture, it will last a few years. I would recommend it for someone that needs a unit for a tall but narrow space.
