If I'm only going to use this for CD's will I need to request more shelves so that I'm not left having to stack CD's horizontally?

You should have enough shelves if only using it for CDs, because I only use mine for DVDs and I had 2 extra shelves left.

I would say that depends on how many CDs you have. The unit is large enough to hold 40 CDs on each half shelf; that is to say to one side of the center, for a total of 80 across one entire shelf. The cabinet inside measures 49" from top to floor. Each CD is 5" tall, so you should be able to figure from there, according to how many you have, whether you will need additional shelves. It's a great unit. I love mine.

No, there are sufficient shelves for CDs. You would take out shelves if you wanted to adjust height to hold DVDs.

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!

Never thought of it! Horizontally? Uummm, guest u could BUT u would only have one shelf and I do not see the point of getting this bookshelf. However, I do remember seeing one that would be more ur thing. The bookshelf is all blocked off, so no matter which way u put it, u can use the shelves!! Give me some time and will find the name and order # for u, if they Still have them. Will Let u know.

The shelves are not designed for book. They do not have the depth. CD's just fit. They are strong enough for what they were designed for.

You could probably modify the shelves but they are preset for CD's and DVD's. But they work very well. They are lightweight so I do suggest anchoring them to the wall. Most attractive and we have received several compliments on them.

I'm not sure. I haven't stored that many CDs and DVDs yet to be at a point where I'm stacking them.

No, You have the option of spacing the shelves as far apart or as close together as needed. Or you can skip putting a shelf or two in to begin with. I hope this helps.

I have stacked three shelves. I cannot tell if a 4th shelf would fir. Four would be very tall and if you are sitting it would be inconvenient.

there are 7 movable shelves. perhaps they were counting the bottom which is still used to store cd's. It store approx 14 DVD's per shelf...You could probably fit CD's. We keep the DVD's in their boxes, so that takes up a little more room.

Yes, you decide where you want all the shelves positioned. The shelves all come separately and then you place them wherever you want. The photo show the shelves positioned with the same space between them but you could even give yourself more or less space where needed.

I don't know if you can stack more than 3 shelves safely although it appears as though it may be possible; maybe 6 bottles max, but you should position unit next to a cabinet/wall for maximum security.

We store them 'side to side' (horizontally). I believe that you can certainly store vertically; but with time, the weight will debilitate the structure. We store the CD's/DVD's in these cases in individual paper bags, and when they're full, they are very heavy.

You'd have to use a few of the tiers. I think if you were to use all of the shelves, it would be too much. Use only what you need.

Yes, the shelves are supported by metal pegs that fit into holes on the inner sides walls and are spaced vertically about an inch-inch and a quarter apart. If you're planning on storing CDs, you may want to use or buy empty jewel cases for the ends of each shelf because the face of the unit will make removing the end CDs difficult otherwise.

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!

No, not really. The unit that I have is stable, but if you try to stack another unit on top of it, it will probably make it very unstable. If you need more room, you might want to invest in another model Maxsteel Multimedia Rack that has a CD Capacity 864. That is the next model up from this one.

I also forgot to add if you use the cabinet for CDs, that's all I use it for, there is more than one inch of space between the bottom of a shelf and the top of the CDs on the shelf below. If they do bow a little over time there is extra room before the shelf would touch the CDs below it.
