I have a 36" wide space to put this in. Will that space be adequate for viewing the CD's when the doors are open? Thanks for any help you can give me!

Yes, but swing out door sheves can only open 90 degrees to cabinet. Still, you can view all the content.

This depends on how deep the space is...the doors open wide/all the way but you can access them even if not wide open...however, they do take up half the depth of the cabinet, so if your space has deep cabinets or something on the sides, it may not work; if it's on a flat wall, then you'll be fine. This is a fabulous little cabinet for the money; it works well, was easy to assemble, and looks very trim and much pricier than it was.

You will need the following space: To fit the unit with doors closed: 22-1/4". To open BOTH doors STRAIGHT OUT simultaneously: 44-1/4". Each door needs 11" of space to open straight out. Or, you can go along with the previously-mentioned comments and open at the 90 degree angle and be able to view your doors' contents sideways.

It will be a bit snug, but a 36 inch wide space should work ok. The base is 23 inches wide & the doors, which are 6 inches deep each, pivot outward from hinges midway along each side. With 36 inches, you will be able to open doors at right angles to base, but not fan them out flat--which is what gives the very best access & visibility. Yet, even with doors at 90 degree angles--you'll still be able to see & get at everything which is stored in the cabinet just fine. It is a well-made cabinet & holds an unbelievable amount of media.

You will be able to open both doors to a 90 degree angle (though not fully open) and will be able to view and access all your CD's or DVD's.

You can position the shelves for the height you need. There are no dividers/slots between CD's (or DVD's, for which I'm using the unit). You could position the shelves to store both CD's and DVD's on this unit. It will hold about 500 DVD's and, obviously, many more CD's than that but I can't give you an exact number because I'm using the unit for just DVD's.

It is a veneered particle board, so the support is not the strongest. Fully loaded with CD's or DVD's, you will have some sag. Probably enough to tell that there is a bigger gap at the top when closed and smaller at the bottom.

You can probably fit up to 350 CDs. It depends on the thickness of the CD cases. I have mostly older CDs with the heavier plastic case and I can fit about 65 per shelf (5 shelves). I bought 2 of these cabinets--one for DVDs and one for CDs. They stand on either side of the fireplace in my family room. They are slim and handsome and fit well in a smaller room. Enjoy!

I have 90 in mine but left one shelf out. The extra shelf would make the spaces shorter if you want a shelf for CDs.

I think all of that would fit. If you connect it into a rectangle the usable space is 60 inches long by 29.5 inches wide.

I have them in a 33' X 19' room. They are in a records store "full" of Lp's and CD's and it handles the room fine.

I have 70 DVD's stored on 5 shelves, with a little cubby on the bottom for a few laying flat. Because this was meant to hold DVD's and or CD's if you are using DVD's alone you can not use all the shelves and therefore the little cubby on the bottom. All shelves can be adjusted so you can use some for DVD's and some for CD's if you want. This is a great piece, sturdy and good looking. I highly recommend it!

Ditto what Bonnie responded: 15" shelves and 2.25" of space before the door. Keep in mind, with the receiver/cd player/etc depth, you have to allow for a couple inches with the cables plugged in the back of the unit.

It does cover a very wide space on the ceiling. I had no problems installing it. You may want to check the wiring you have factory. I had a multidisc CD player in a explorer and it was only compatible with a factory oem multidisc player from ford. The screen has a positive and negative for power then a standard av 3 wire hock up.

The legs are about four to five inches from the ends of the shelf. I think there is enough room to be useful. On the 30" we have our Directv receiver under it with room on each side. The 36" inch is great as an extra space on a desk with lots of room underneath. We have both sizes and are completely happy with both.

It will hold the recommended 376 CDs but don't expect to easily open doors or it to be sturdy while doing so :(

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!

The TV console measures 58 inches wide, when open each door is about 18 inches, total is about 94 inches with both doors open, Doors do not have to be wide open to get access to the shelves. Hope this helps. It has been a good unit with no issues. takes a bit to put together but if you separate the pieces and read the instructions its is not hard. I also user wood glue when assembling this type of furniture for stability;ity

I've had mine fully loaded (with about 350 CDs) for about 8 months, and the shelves are not sagging at all. My only issue is you can't have 10 shelves equally spaced apart unless you don't attach the top trim molding. It looks fine without the trim, and I can fit CDs on the top shelf the same as the rest. I also painted the bottom of the shelves black, otherwise you will see the bare "wood" when sitting near it. Hope that helps!

My window is 36" wide and there is room to spare. It has an attachable accordion extension on the side. I'd guess it expands another several inches beyond the 36" I have it in now.

The open shelves are 19 inches wide and 15 inches deep and are adjustable. Plenty of room for DVD and etc. The closed doors are 9 1/2 inches wide and 15 inches deep with shelves for CD'S and DVD'S. I love it.
