It is basic pressed wood construction but is easy to assemble and is sturdy and and does not tip even though I have filled it up,.
The base of it is wider than the stack which adds to the stability. I like it very much and will probably buy another as I need more
storage space.

Despite the low price, this is a good, sturdy cabinet that holds 320 CD's. Easy to put together, even for an old dummy. Only negatives are the sawdust the parts came in (bad for allergies) and the un-Amazonian shipping time (10 days).

This is what I'm looking for in a shelf. Cheap, sturdy considering it's materials, and decent looking. This is one of those cheap shelves that's made of what seems like a wood/cardboard composite. Assembled, it looks great, and isn't flimsy

pros:
cheap.
looks great.
lots of shelves.
perfect for games, movies, CDs, and similarly sized objects.
Sturdy when assembled.

cons:
The shelves are grooved and sit on the pegs in a way that makes them easy to knock out.
There's a gap at the back of the shelves where thin items like pens can fall through.
Slightly difficult to assemble.

notes:
As other reviews have stated, there was a little sawdust in the box (no big deal).
I did not use the 4 rubber tacks that are supposed to go on the bottom.
Mine came with a thin cardboard-like strip, which I placed under the front of the base to give the shelf a backwards lean.

Seriously, they couldn't have vacuumed the thing before sending it out? It's like they packaged it up for ya so they wouldn't have to clean it up.

Anyway, fairly easy to put together. I didn't use the included nail in feet and bought some different adhesive feet from another store. A lot smaller than expected.

The shelves are shallow. My DVD cases and hanging off of them standing upright. I posted a picture so you can get a sense of scale.

We'll see how this works out.

Received this product very quickly and we got it together in great shape and are currently using it. Nice and heavy and very pleased with it.
