Venture Horizon Revolving Media Tower 1000 - Cherry

Just assembled and loaded full with DVDs. (Not an over time longevity review).Inspected all parts before assembly - did not want to find issues that would require return while half or fully assembles. All parts seemed ok. I would recommend checking all the shelf hardware holes prior to assembly. After assembly I found several holes that were not quite the diameter for the shelf hardware. Once assembled I could not get my drill positioned to hit them for the correct diameter. I was able to force the plastic pegs in the holes but would have been nicer to hit them with a quick drill before assembly. This was only an issue for holes on the thin larger sides that had holes.Researched before buying and was not confident in the plastic lazy susan piece that came with the unit would hold up over time. For $17 I ordered a 12" Shepard lazy susan -https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00004YOKA?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1Fairly easy to lay out and mark the metal lazy susan for installation. Required 8 pilot holes - and 1 large hole to access 4 of those 8 pilot holes (followed a you tube video for how-to).Easy assembly - not complex and not a lot of parts. Did the lazy susan one evening and top/bottom prep 1st evening; assembled some of the insides the next morning before work; Completed assembly that evening after work.Looks great.Works great.Exactly what we needed to store a bunch of DVDs in a small space in the living room.Con -I thought the price was a little high - but it was the only thing like it I could find in a cherry wood finish.I do recommend the product - especially with the lazy susan modification. It may be fine with the original part - I just wanted to be proactive from the beginning. I did not want to have to "fix" this piece in a few years. Hope this helps.

Super easy assembly. All pieces were there with step-by-step instructions except for one step, which we were able to figure out. The sides were sturdy once the shelves were in place. Lovely finish. Overall, a well-made, quality unit.

Patience - Patience - Patience. Assembly is straightforward - but - time consuming. A second pair of hands is recommended to steady parts during assembly and proved to be most welcome.

I am so happy with this media tower! The instructions were fantastic which made it easy to assemble. Very good quality and it looks great! We have it loaded with DVDs and it turns effortlessly. I absolutely love it! I recommend it to anyone looking for media storage.

These shelves are attractive, and easy to assemble, with unusually clear directions. They are also perfectly sized for most vintage books. The pictures in the listing show them holding cased CDs and DVDs, though, and I think this is probably more what they were designed to do. The actual shelves are made of 1/4" (!) hardboard (Masonite). Each shelf is just a foot long, so it may be adequate, but they probably would do better with a lighter load. Time will tell, I guess. Also, be advised that you get NO extra hardware. It's going to get frustrating, if you happen to lose/break one. The shelves are adjustable, but only up to a point. You can choose spacing for either CDs or DVDs/VHS, and nothing else. There are places up to 5 inches long where there are just no mounting holes for putting a shelf. My books fit quite well in the VHS configuration, though, so it wasn't an issue, for me.

place 1 1/2 Felt pads Before assembly as in pictures it Helps with the Tippy Problem, then after assembly use a Good quality CLEAR Adhesive Caulk on all inner seams (first place 4 shelfs in each bay to keep seams Tight Skipping over shelfs when you are caulking, on the lazy susan Bearing spray silicone let dry a few minutes (use Good Quality Spray Silicone i use menards brand ) These steps Dramatically Helps make this a Great Cabinet.

I have one of these (unsure of brand) I bought perhaps 15 years ago and it is much stronger. On this one, you can press on the panels and they move (on the inside), my old one is more solid and does not. I suppose they just try to make them as cheap as possible now. :/

I have over 1000 CDs so I bought a second tower.
