Got the new storage units today (love amazon prime!), just finished assembling one of them. For $109, I'm quite pleased with the quality. Yeah they're particleboard like everything else, but they're sturdy enough from what I can tell, and the quality and look of the laminate is just fine. And I was a little worried about capacity overstatements based on some of the reviews, but I think they were mainly complaining about claims on DVD capacity; I checked standard CD jewel cases and indeed it holds 504 (12 shelves of 42), exactly what the mfr stated. And the nice thing about this model is that the doors do not hold any CDs and so won't warp with weight over time; I have an old entertainment center where there's a door with a rack on it, and it has definitely sagged making the door difficult to close. That was a concern with some of the other CD storage units I looked at.
