Any opinions on Boltz CD or Multi-Media racks?

I recently bought a Boltz CD-600-KD, their largest CD rack, which is 24 in. wide & 67 in. high. It came unassembled, & had some problems, missing parts, paint on the ends of the horizontal rods which made it impossible to assemble, etc. To their credit, Boltz took it back immediately. They are offering to send me an assembled CD-600 for the same price.

Unfortunately, I had once ordered an assembled CD-600, & one of the side panels was bent, so I sent it back as well. I have 2 questions: 1. what are other people's experiences with Boltz products? & 2. Any advice about which models are most useful? (I realize this is very subjective, & depends on the room size, etc.)

The CD-600 is really big, in a small space, but will hold the most CD's for the $$. The CD-275, which is the same height, but only one ft. wide, looks appealing, but costs almost as much as the CD-600. And what about the wall mounted units, anyone using those?

Thanks in advance for any feedback!

i own 3 Boltz racks; the CD-600 and 2-4 shelf LP racks. i have had zero problems. they are real solid even on a carpeted floor. as i had lots of media storage in my listening room i have been using these racks for overflow. if i was in the market now i would buy them again based on my experience.

the Boltz racks can wobble a little but stay planted. my friend had his tip over in an earthquake but no damage to the rack or the cds. if he would have used the wall strap they provide his cd-600 would likely not have tipped over.

you either like the Boltz 'look' or you don't. but you can't argue with their functionality. i had no problems with the condition received or assembly.

i will be moving into a new listening room and will likely sell my Boltz racks assuming the new room will hold all (3500 cd's, 500 sacd's, and 3500 lp's) my media.
