Question 1

roughly how many DVD's will this hold?

Accepted Answer

Hello Zach, my name is Tom, I believe it advertised 450. I currently have roughly 360 using 19 shelves of the 28 I have created. They are adjustable, so you can configure them to your needs or wishes. I am able to get 18 single disc sized DVD's per shelf, thicker cases would mean less than that. I highly recommend this unit. I still have enough space for roughly 162 more DVD size disc's, I also use it for x360 & PS3 games. 4 of the shelves I adjusted to fit books of various sizes, which means the shelves do not have to be the same size allowing you to create additional shelves instead of losing space if the shelves could not be adjusted separately. It is important to make sure you place it on a level surface to get a smoother spin The mechanism that allows it to spin is made of plastic, don't worry it is durable and works very well, an uneven surface would create more friction requiring more force to spin it around and I believe cause the spin mechanism to grind and over time would probably need to be replace. Very happy with this unit, well worth the money.

Question 2

How deep are the shelves?

Accepted Answer

The shelves themselves are 4.5 inches deep, so CD/DVD/Blu-Ray jewel cases overhang the front & back by about 1/2 inch, but the total depth from the front surface of the cabinet to the back of each side is 5.75 inches deep (normal CD/DVD/BR jewel cases do _not_ stick out past the flat surfaces on each side of the tower)

Question 3

Does the 1000 lbs capacity 12 lazy Susan 5/16 lazy Susan in the frequently bought together fit this product?

Accepted Answer

It can be made to fit but it is not a direct replacement for the plastic bearing that comes with the DVD rack.   The way the 2 bearings mount is totally different.   The plastic bearing is retained at one point only using a cheap center bolt and plastic insert - in fact that would be the only thing holding the entire rack to the base if you assemble it as per the instructions.  I bought the "1000 lbs capacity 12 lazy Susan 5/16" bearing and would highly recommend it as I don't think the plastic bearing is going to hold up over the long run.   To make this steel bearing work however you have to drill a couple of "Access" holes in the base of the rack with a forstner bit of at least 3/4" diameter, plus you also have to drill all the screw holes to mount the two sides of the steel bearing to the rack wood.  I used 4 screws per bearing half.   It's not hard at all and gives you a much better product in the end.

Question 4

The reviews i've read says that i should get a stronger turntable bearing. your site offers two. which one will work better?

Accepted Answer

We purchased the 1000 lb. Capacity 12 Lazy Susan Bearing 5/16 Thick Turntable Bearings VXB Brand.  Although they both seem the same. It does not come with screws, we used 4 small wood screws we had in our garage, and liquid nails adhesive on the opposite side with the bolt that came with the flimsy turntable included with the Media Tower. Hope this helps.
