Review on ๐Ÿ“€ Atlantic Adjustable Wire Media Rack: Heavy Gauge Steel with 8 Adjustable Shelves, Holds 153 CDs and 72 DVDs by Mike Groover

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Inexpensive and thin enough to reflect

I was browsing the various shelves at Revain the other day. I expected this to not only hold a significant amount of media (which it mostly does) but also be stable. It's just not that stable. They have three main parts. The lower part of the grandstand, the lower part of the "tower" and the upper part of the "tower". First off, not very good plastic washers/nuts were used at the very bottom to screw in the base to attach it to the bottom of the tower. 2 out of 4 don't screw in properly. We both tried, that's the point we didn't. I had to glue them with force and superglue. The other two were loose enough that I had to glue them with super glue as well. Where the bottom of the tower meets the top, it's quite unstable. A little squeeze and it looks like it might fall apart. Finally"shelves". They are simply placed on the frame and are firmly in place. You are very free. If the tower shakes, they just jump out of their place. Drop a few games, they're out of place. Etc. It was all somewhere in the middle of the price range when I checked the other day. It's really made up and I'm just not suggesting it. Maybe if it was $10, but for the price it's just not worth it. I spent my money on this and now need to buy another media holder/tower. I regret the purchase.

Pros
  • snapping wire shelves. Media Storage - 8 adjustable shelves
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other picks
