Review on ๐Ÿ”’ Secure and Stylish: Prepac Locking Media Storage Cabinet with Shaker Doors in Black by Junrey Jewel

Revainrating 3 out of 5

- It looks cute. - It saves space compared to a bookshelf

I bought it to store my 4k Blu-ray 1080p Blu-ray and DVD. I bought this expecting to need one on top and one on the bottom but only bought one at first. Pros: - It looks good. - It saves space compared to a bookshelf. - Manufacturer's customer service responded within 16 hours and sent a replacement for the damaged base I pictured. I wrote a letter late at night and they replied early the next morning. I received the replacement part within 9 calendar days. It's been a long time, but it was shipped from British Columbia, Canada to Florida, USA. Cons: - It doesn't store as many movies as it could. There are holes in each door so you can adjust the shelves to the desired height. However, there are several tiers on the doors that shelves cannot be placed on due to the cams used to hold the pieces together. Unfortunately, these locations would be ideal for Blu-ray movies. So I can't have movies on the bottom door shelves. If I could move an adjustable shelf up one tier, the lower shelves could be used. This means there are two shelves that cannot be used until I put the films on them. Each door has a locking mechanism that interferes with storage. The left door has a lever inside (when closed) that you need to push up to lock and pull down to open. I had to leave an area empty on the shelf so I could close the door and reach for that locking mechanism. The pre-drilled hole doesn't line up, so it's harder to use than it should be. so i won't use it. The right door has a lock that requires a key. The lock protrudes through the back of the film cabinet, so I can't store that many films on this shelf. - It took a while to assemble. Normally I wouldn't have minded that much, but realizing the previous issues, it did. All parts were covered with debris. Because of this, I made a real mess when I assembled it. It would be nice if they used compressed air to get rid of dirt. - I just bought a replacement item to see how I like it, and then I'll buy a second one if I like it. Because of the cons, I'm considering buying a second one. The design flaw of the shelves is disappointing, and the locking mechanisms are not well thought out. I think I would have preferred the latch on the outside if it matched the design. In any case, the castle will not prevent anyone from entering. Even a kid could probably hack this if they really wanted to. I can look elsewhere to see if I can find something better. If it weren't for the flaws in the shelves and locks I would have given this place 5 stars. I would have preferred the latch on the outside if it had harmonized with the design.
