I bought two of these. Both of them came with screws that were far too small to hold the pieces together so I had to go to my parts drawer and get some real screws (#6 1-1/4" worked fine). All the parts on both units fit together well (although one of the units definitely had better quality-control than the other) and it only took about 10 minutes to assemble each of them. I did use the glue generously on the wood pegs and at each end of the uprights. You need to use the glue if you don't want it to wiggle.
I read about the trouble people were having with the shelves falling down and I think it's because the sides can bow outward easily. I overcame that by installing a screw at the mid-point of each upright on the back side, and then tying the two screws together with a piece of picture hanging wire across the back of the unit. Now the sides can't bow out.
With the modifications, the shelf is very sturdy. I had all of the stuff lying around so it didn't add any cost, and it added an extra 10 minutes to the set-up time.
It's definitely not a showy unit, but it's fine for the price. Anything this cheap is going to have issues, but some of them can be overcome pretty easily.Get more detail about Atlantic Drawbridge DRA280MM03 280 CD/112 DVD/BluRay/Games Wood Cabinet (Black).
