Cleverly packed, in good condition, sturdy. Use the box top as a platform for assembly because there are hundreds of small, easily lost parts that will not be available at your local hardware store. When I finished, I had no parts left over. They count exactly the number for your needs.
Overall, just what I needed for several hundred c/d's and vis tapes. Others have stated the need for 4 sq ft...measure before you start putting it in place.

Once I ignored the misleading instructions, it came together into a handsome piece.

I've assembled several households of IKEA products starting when I lived in Sweden 40 years ago. That's my reference point.

Only buy this if you try to follow instructions and, in doing so, relish a masochistic experience.

The instructions include a missing piece that not actually required or included and several flat out wrong points.

None of their phone numbers work. Amazon lacks a working one.

Now a month later. Thus great. My wife even lived it. Worth the assembly affro.

This was relatively easy to assemble, although I did manage to put the sides in wrong initially. It's fairly sturdy and rather heavy, Also I had to push carefully on the bottom of the unit in order to move it without breaking or toppling it.I put my 3 to 4 hundred (forget how many I counted) combined blu-rays, dvds and cds in this and still had most of one side empty. It does revolve quite easily even with the weight of the discs in it, it looks nice, not beautiful or ugly, just nice. And as others have stated, part of the shelves are useless as there is no way to see or reach some of the discs when you put them behind that little bit of wood. I think I paid about double what I should have for something like this. but the cheaper ones had such horrible reviews.

Went together without a single cuss word. Just take your time.

What a great piece of furniture we added to our house. We had 707 CD's and they were spread out all over the house. We don't use the CD's but didn't want to get rid of them so we needed something to house ALL of them. I was a little nervous about the comments on the swivel piece and almost bought the heavier duty one. My wife and I put this together with no issues and for those that are reading this that are married you know this is a big, big plus. This held all of our CD's and then a bunch of DVD's We wanted to put all the CD's in alphabetical order and that caused the only issue with putting this all together. I started at the top of one of the sections putting in the CD's and then wrapped around to the next section. This caused the unit to be top heavy and started tilted to one side. To combat that I cleared some of the weight and put a heavy box under that side to keep the unit level. After that everything was good. I turned the unit several times to see how the plastic swivel piece worked and it was great. It is hard to believe when you see how skinny and flat that piece is and how well it holds up. We don't plan on spinning it much so unless you do than I think this piece will work well for you without having to buy the heavier duty one.
