Review on πŸ”² Atlantic Onyx 65 Wire DVD-Tower - Sleek Matte Black Steel Design, Holds 65 DVDs, Blu-Rays or PS3 Games, Wall Mount or Freestanding, PN 1332 by Todd Look

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works fine, a bit unstable.

I have two versions of this tower. The smaller that holds 28 and the larger version that holds 65. I leaned the smaller version against my desk at an angle and it always worked great. I liked it very much. It works great for DVD/Bluray as well as my PS3 games (which are similar anyway). It also includes a couple of double sized slots on the bottom for special edition DVD/Bluray and more. The 65-slot tower comes in two pieces that snap together and then slot into a small footrest (unless you're wall-mounting it - which has holes and brackets for it). The biggest problem with it is that it's a bit unstable, when not on a hard surface, especially when partially loaded. They usually load stuff like this from the top down (of course, since it's easier to get stuff from the top). But adding weight at the top only adds to the instability. If you actually have 60+ DVDs and insert them starting from the bottom, that's probably fine as there's enough weight at that point. But if you only have about 30 slots like me (enough to step up from 28 slots that only my PS3 games have now) then it's hard to use. So for now I'm just using the bottom half that connects to the legs as it's a two piece turret and it works well. Another thing I miss about 65 slots, are the extra large slots for special edition DVDs. This is a nice addition to the 28 slots that is not in the 65 slot. Either way, it's a great stylish design that works pretty well. It's a bit pricey for what it is (a piece of metal) but I knew it was going to happen so I won't blame him. I deducted 1 star because of the instability. So if you mount on the wall, no problem. Excellent stand. If you have hard floors, no problem. Excellent stand. If you have carpet, be aware of the issues, but it still works. Excellent stand. If you have carpet, be aware of the issues, but it still works. Excellent stand. If you have carpet
