Best DVD Racks Reviewed & Rated for Quality
Standout Picks
Criteria Used for Evaluation
Materials
You don’t want to purchase something that is going to break in the first few days of use, and with DVDs you need it to be able to handle a large amount of weight. Due to their intended use, if the materials aren’t durable they can crack and fall apart, and or cause dangerous breaks- especially if the shelving unit has glass in the doors. We put a lot of time and research into making sure that the materials used are also capable of what the design intends for them. Sometimes what looks nice is made of low-quality materials that simply can’t or don’t stand up to the pressure of long-term use, even if they seem like they will at first.
In order to make sure you get what you need we made sure that if we didn’t know exactly what material was, or didn’t understand the difference between it and another material. If we felt that the material truly was up to the task, we would then double check ourselves to see if one of our other items was made of something even better, and then compare and contrast the designs. In this way, we were assured you would get the best design in combination with the long-lasting materials needed for your shelf.
With proper care your DVD rack should last you years and not break or give out, meaning every dollar you spent was spent well, and if for some reason it doesn’t, we know that you will be able to find the help and services you need to either fix or replace the items easily.
Size
More often than not, the reason we need shelves is that there isn’t enough space for something as it is. That being said, we tried to make sure that no matter what size your home is the item will fit where you need it. A lot of times we will come across something that looks great and sounds great, but once we get the item we have nowhere to put it, which only adds to the lack of room for which the item was purchased to try and help with. We also want to help you make sure that, even with our choices, you don’t end up with the same issues.
In order to help you with further making sure your new piece of furniture will fit, we suggest checking the provided dimensions and measuring exactly where you want to put it. It is always advisable not to have two pieces of furniture flush to each other, in case something shifts a major accident does not occur.
Value
As always, we, at Gearhunt, have to make sure that when we provide you a list, the cost and value are at the very least on equal grounds. This is a key factor when looking especially at pricier objects because if you’re spending a lot of money, you do not want to have to pay even more in a short time to replace what you already bought. Likewise, if something is cheaper in cost, we want to make sure that the item is up to standards because if it isn’t you could end up spending more in the long term than if you simply purchased a similar item at a slightly higher cost.
Value is derived from how durable an item is, or in other words how much it can take without breaking, how long the item lasts when properly used, how effective an item is and if the item meets the needs of the person making the purchase. One such value comes from customer service which can be supplied through warranty, communication and or willingness to provide a customer with valuable information in the proper use and care for the item. Even something as simple as providing extra materials or a list of what can be used to replace any of the pieces adds to that quality.
Ease of Use
Assembly of a product you ordered can be one of the biggest hassles. In order to make sure the products we chose are true of worth and won’t break you down into pieces we tried to assure that the assembly of every unit was easily handled. You may wonder then why some of these have cons that contradict ease of assembly. In most cases, these were packaging errors and very rare to take place, but we want you to remain aware of the possibility in case the product you get has the same issue. In other cases, you can find easier to follow instructions online either by looking the product up on google, contacting the company or by visiting Youtube for a follow along with video.
No matter what the case, most of the customers were satisfied and found the problems easy to handle and were still done with the build process in less than two hours. That being said, we want to assure you that if done properly these builds are simple and may not require a lot of help. If you do have health concerns over weightier objects, you may still want to get yourself a helper to make sure your build goes quickly and safely to give you the outcome you desired.
Fit
Whenever you purchase a piece of furniture there are several things you should consider beyond its physical appeal. Two of the most important considerations are time and space. Most online purchases and even in-store purchases require you to assemble the furniture at home. Very little comes pre-assembled in today’s era. That being said, here are some key things to look at.
Do you have the space to work? Even if the finished object will fit in the areas you want it in, when it isn’t put together it can take up to two or three times the amount of space to assemble it. You should make sure you have a place cleared where you can keep all pieces in view while assembling, and keep tools safely within reach without risking harm to yourself or the stray visitor who may wander in to see what you are up to. If you don’t think you have the space to work on it and cannot make the space available safely, you may wish to consider a smaller item than you originally intended.
Time is just as important. We try to supply you a list of top tens that are easy and quick to assemble (less than two hours) but once you get started, even two hours can seem an eternity. If you aren’t sure the space you have made for assembling the item will give you the time needed apart from children, friends and other would-be viewers who aren’t planning to help out (or may even cause a safety hazard while you work).
