Digital camera reviews of Atlantic Wave 1386 Click to enlarge Wave DVD Tower (Black Steel/Cherry Wood Base )
Digital camera Review: Overall a decent stand
Summary: 4 Stars
It took about 10 minutes to assemble this stand. I didn't have any problems other reviewers mentioned with the base plastic screws, although the included tool they give you is a little awkward. To install the wooden balls at the top of the stand I HAD to widen the holes; there was just no way they were going to fit over the metal rod any other way. Another reviwer recommended a utility knife which would work fine; I used a cordless drill with a bit just barely larger than the hole already there and that did the job.
If you have a box set where the actual box is a a little larger than the dvd case, it will have problems fitting in this stand: my Lord of the Rings box sets fit just fine, but for Star Wars and Indiana Jones I had to actually pull the metal rods apart and force the box set in.
Other than those minor issues, the stand serves it's purpose and looks great.
Digital camera Review: Parts don't fit
Summary: 3 Stars
I love the look of this tower BUT it took forever to get the black plugs into the base. Actually, I still have one plug to go and it is not cooperating. 3 of the 4 balls for the top do not fit and will have to be drilled larger.
I find this totally aggravating. Something so simple should not be so hard.
Digital camera Review: Product Description Misleading
Summary: 1 Stars
At the image of the item on this webpage, Amazon describes this item as a "1316 110 CD" rack. CD? The image shows DVDs in the rack, and its description later in the webpage says it holds 74 "DVDs" -- which is also consistent with its reviews being for a "DVD" rack. But . . .
Shouldn't have to take a chance that Amazon might take my order for an item called a "CD" rack at face value and sends a "CD" rack when I want a "DVD" rack. Not unlikely since Amazon also lists elsewhere a rack with the identical name ("Atlantic 1316 110 CD") which does have an image showing the rack containing CDs -- and its reviews are for a "CD" rack.
So I'm just giving it one star for now. Sounds like a real nice DVD rack based on all the good reviews -- and a nice "DVD" rack is what I want.

Digital camera Review: Satisfying my DVD collector fetish
Summary: 5 Stars
I received the first one of these racks as a gift a few years back, bought a second one a couple of years ago and tonight I am on Amazon to buy my third. First let me say I am very suprised they still have this model around and thats a good thing. I like to keep the same look...because when you start mixing and matching it just doesn't look right. I have both racks that I own right now filled to capacity (with an extra ten DVDs on the floor in front!!!) so time to buy more. I like the looks of them and when filled all the way up the focus is the dvd boxes (I like that), not the stand. The only part that you truly notice are the four wooden balls on the top and the base.Assembly was easy and pretty straight forward. It comes with 2 metal rack parts, a wooden base, wooden balls for top decoration, and plastic nuts/insert deals (??) to attch the rack to the base . The curved metal rack part,the majority of it, is actually two parts the slide together to form "the wave".The bottom portion of the metal rack is threaded on 4 points.There are 4 holes in the base which you slide the threaded portions through, then you screw in flush to the base, the plastic insert's (i kinda wish these parts were metal)from underneath that locks the base to the rack. Then GENTLY tap the wooden balls on the top. I say gently becuase I have cracked them before BUT a quick call to the company and they sent me extra for free.I know my description of the assembly sounds complicated but it really is not. The only thing I don't like about this style of rack is when a DVD is removed it is very hard to get it back where it came from. That is just the nature of these type of racks in which DVDs rest on one another nothing bad about the item itself.Never had any problems with it.
OK enough rambling time for me to go and buy.
