Review on Atlantic Oskar Media Cabinet: Weathered Oak, Adjustable - Holds 756 👉 CDs, 360 DVDs, 414 Blu-Rays/Games with 21 Adjustable & 6 Fixed Shelves (PN38436268) by Laura Bates

Purchased on 05/09/2021 from Revain. Delivery in a box. It was a two person lift, but the strong young UPS driver made it on his own. ASSEMBLY: I have been assembling furniture on frames and cams for a good 40 years, have seen everything from Scandinavian high end to Ikea, Sauder, O'Sullivan to nameless Chinese manufacturers. This kit is rated B or B+ based on my subjective experience of accuracy of design and manufacture. The written instructions/assembly pictures were in small print and difficult to see. More would have been better but they didn't embarrass me or say the wrong things. The two cams moved slightly out of the holes when tightened, probably due to a difference in the hole or the size of the cam (a trivial 1/16" and no one will ever notice, this can happen if a cam hole is drilled there). a trough in the manufactured chipboard) I thought the instructions were missing some good advice on the importance of leveling the frame before nailing it to the back panel (so if you read this before assembly make sure , that you level it before you start nailing and check when nailing). / The pins were small and therefore difficult to hold without hitting your fingers with a hammer (PAX, a marketed IKEA brand , offers a smart nail holder / jig to solve this problem (if you are a jack of all trades, you can have a pin nail that you can get and use instead). It must then open placed on the front to nail the back wall and since the base bottom shelf is sticking out the sides are up in the air and have no grip for the nails. glued some 2x4 pieces I had underneath and it supported the sides to improve stability when nailing. SETUP/INSTALLATION: The kit includes 2 wall anchor brackets to mount the plate to the wall. They MUST be used for the safety of babies and cats who will sooner or later climb on them (don't be lazy). The brackets were simple, the slot allowed any base width to be adjusted and the chamfered holes for the flush mount funnel screws. There is a pre-drilled screw hole on the top of the shelf. They included very lame plastic drywall anchors, however, and you really need to buy some decent self-drilling anchors that go in with less hassle and have double or triple the holding power. before undressing. Or position the shelf so that one or both brackets line up with the studs in the wall and simply screw in for 100X more holding power. The shelves were made of a thin material, but more than strong enough for the task, and being thin they increased media space (IKEA used to sell a Besta brand media rack with 1/2 shelves, serious overkill). The pin holes in the shelf were about 1 1/4" apart, in my dream world they would be 1/2" or closer for finer adjustment to maximize usable shelf space. NOTE: The middle shelf is fixed and not adjustable, but all shelves above and below CAN be adjusted. This company sells another media shelf model that looks almost identical but without the adjustable shelves, which I think is a major limitation. PLEASE NOTE WHAT YOU ARE BUYING as it is not apparent from the pictures or the product name. The fixed center shelf meant that in order to utilize all the space I had to play around several times and reposition the shelves to get the configuration that would work best for my VHS/DVD/Blue-Ray/CD mixed media needs. collection works. When I was done there wasn't much space between the shelves, but that meant one row held VHS media, then the next rows held DVD media, and then VHS media again. If I kept all the media together the same size for aesthetic reasons I would waste too much usable space. CONCLUSION: Price, adjustability, build quality were more than good enough that I would buy it again without hesitation.
