How many shelves come with the black unit? I see the cherry one configured for all CDs which is similar to the way we would be using it. Thank you.

Eight shelves that can be adjusted by pegs in the predrilled holes in the sides. Two more 'shelves' if you include the bottom case

Sharon, there are only seven shelves, not eight. As far as cd's go, I have no idea how many it would hold as we're using it for my daughter's VHF/DVD collection, and they tend to take up more room. The width is 13" on the shelves---a CD typically is less than half an inch wide. That should give you an idea of how many the unit would hold. Hope this helps---Mark

All of the shelves are adjustable. The top two can be set to hold DVDs, giving you 26 sections that hold 28 DVDS each. Totaling 728 DVDS total if set up to hold only DVDs. I, personally, used the top 2 for CDS, then the next row for box sets(some of which need the extra space), & the rest for DVDs.

Its possible they have actually made different versions of the same model, some black and some dark brown. However, the ones I purchased from Amazon are a very dark brown. Having read the two previous comments (which didnt answer the question), the construction is the laminated, pressed board material, assembled using wooden pins, and screw-cam hardware. It is pretty lightweight and if you arent careful, it will end up broken and in the trash. Once it is built and attached to the wall, it is stable and works well for holding a lot of CDs, etc. If you are looking for a very sturdy, heavy piece of furniture that can take some abuse, this isnt the right choice. Also note that the shelves arent as deep as the overall frame and DVDs/Blurays will hang over the shelf slightly (but they dont protrude from the overall frame)--it is really built for CDs and they never upgraded the design for DVDs/Blurays as they should have. Having said all that, I purchased two of them. They are a decent price and are doing the job of housing all of my media.

Ballpark answer here -- my bookshelf has CDs only, so I had to pull out an old VHS and estimate. The picture shows 7 shelves, but if your VHS is standing up like a book, you will only have room for 6 shelves. There are 3 fixed-width "compartments" in each shelf-row; required in the installation process. Each compartment can hold 9 VHS comfortably, or 10 if you squeeze them in. That means each row can hold 27 - 30 VHS. 6 rows x 27 VHS per row is 162 VHS total for the entire bookshelf. Maximum would be 6 rows x 30 VHS = 180 VHS for the entire shelf. By the way, the bookshelf itself is decent quality for the $100 I paid, and I would recommend it to anyone.

It has seven shelves that you can space any distance apart. I use mine to store DVD's so I only use five shelves but I store over 70 of them. It will hold more CD's since they are smaller. It is a great piece. I highly recommend it!

Yes, I bought an extra shelf. I think it was about $35 but not positive. After I bought these, I found them on NoMoreRack for $99.00 plus a couple of dollars shipping and they had 6 shelves. I just bought 3 more of them and they are the same as my 5 shelf unit that was more expensive.

The space is on the sides of each shelf. 4-6 cds are hidden from view on each shelf. On the top shelf there is an overlap that makes it hard to put the cds on the shelf. i final just too off the top piece that makes it hard to put the cds in. I hope that helps. I don't know how else to explain it.

I've had mine for a few months now and it is completely full of CDs and the shelves are still perfectly straight. Maybe in time?, but they seem pretty solid to me.

There are 7 loose shelves that came in the box, with the bottom shelf being fixed, since it is the base. I basically set mine up similar to the photo, using 6 shelves positioned to hold CD's and DVD's, with the bottom shelf tall enough to hold VHS tapes. I've probably got around 70 CDs and 6 VHS tapes in mine. Hope this helps. This is a really nice looking unit, easy to assemble, with lots of CD storage in a small space. I have 2 of them.

Yes - you can adjust the shelves - on some shelves I have the book style DVDs so I separate the shelves a little more from top to bottom. For CDs, I don't need as much space. Or you can lay the DVDs down. It's great and mine is black on inside and outside. I needed one tall and narrow and this is the only one I found and I love, love, love it.

The unit comes with fourteen shelves, and, according to my measurements, that should be enough for you to fill it with CD's without additional shelves. I use mine exclusively for DVD's, though, so I can't tell you whether or not the predrilled shelf holes will allow for you to fill it with CD's without any left over spaces. For DVD's, I have five shelves of DVD's on each side and it leaves a small space at the bottom which isn't tall enough to fit a DVD, so I have some DVD's stacked in there horizontally. I hope that helps!

It depends on the height of the shelves. CD height, you can hold over 850 single CDs. I have 24 to 25 per shelf. However, my count is with the factory sized case covers. I would imagine if you had the slimmer cases, the case would hold double my quoted amount.

Looks like others are coming up with numbers for you on the CD count... I would like to add that this is a great product, so happy I have it. My cabinet had built in CD holders but I needed more.

If you have nothing but DVDs, it's harder to figure since they come in lots of different sizes, but I would safely assume 775-800 in standard cases. If you're storing CD's in standard jewel cases, each shelf holds 47 CDs (41 across, 6 horizontal). On the 2 outside shorter sections, there are 9 shelves, the 2 inner sections are 10 each. So roughly 47 x 38 = 1,786 CDs. The base is 74" wide. Left and right is 57-1/2" tall, the middle 2 are just under 64".

There are 7 removable shelves plus the bottom stationary shelf. It will hold about 160 cds.

I can't remember. It was a gift to someone. The bottom shelf holds LPs and the top shelf is designed for CDs.
