I bought this bookcase for my huge CD collection, but discovered it was also perfect for my vintage Barbies in acrylic cases, Hard Rock Cafe bears, beanie bears, storage for collection of jar candles... I like it's slim depth, perfect for lining up several side by side in my bedroom to display collections without taking up a lot of space like a regular bookcase would. I'll be buying several more.

Even though it's a media center, I use it for books because I have an abundance of them. I have found that regular bookcases leave too much empty space, and media centers are great for book - especially the mass market kind, but since the shelves are adjustable you can size them for trade paperbacks as well, you just get less shelves.

The unit looks good, and works well. It's a little wobbly because it's so big - but, then, we didn't add the wall stabilizer since we don't have small children. It's a must to use, though, if you do.

The instructions were a little confusing, but it's easy enough to figure out, and we didn't have any trouble putting it together.

All in all I'm please with it. It looks nice and it functions well.

This Spartak unit is the best-quality user-assembled furniture I've come across, yet it's priced affordably. The round shelf-lock pieces that prevent shelf sagging are an innovative and useful touch. Also the first piece of furniture like this I've gotten that includes (good quality) wall straps for those like me in earthquake territory. I have only a few minor complaints. One is that the instructions could be a bit better. Luckily I've assembled furniture of this type a million times before, so that experience fills in the gaps. The next is that the way it's designed, with vertical front strips that are significantly wider than the side wall pieces they go on the front of, there is a pocket behind that piece where if you had videos back behind there, you wouldn't be able to get them out, so you need to carefully align videos when putting them in so they don't get pushed back there. My final complaint is that I have this unit not against a wall, but against the side of a cabinet in an L-shaped "alcove", and when you approach the unit from the back side, the unfinished (wood-colored rather than black) nature of the rear side (especially that long vertical front piece that I mentioned above) is kind of ugly.
