O' Sullivan Shelving?
I was in Best Buy today and walked past the storage aisle, only to see one that actually looked pretty decent. The brand name (I believe) is O' Sullivan and it looks like a bookshelf (nice looking wood, although I'm sure it's not real) and holds approx. 340 DVDs. Anyone familiar with this brand and have any words of advice in regards to it? Thanks.

I have an O'Sullivan DVD shelf. I think it holds more than 200 DVDs. They sell them at Suncoast for about $50.

O'Sullivan has been around for decades and is (or at least used to be) one of the leading companies making that do-it-yourself, particleboard-type shelves and entertainment centers.
They are decent quality as long as you aren't expecting miracles. The main problem with these things is that they will bow over time if you put anything heavy on the shelves. If you are just putting standard DVD keepcases on it (without anything super heavy), you should be all set.

When I worked at a retail store around 13 years ago, we sold O'Sullivan and Bush furniture. I absolutely hated the O'Sullivan. The demo models were always falling apart and were just crap in general.
But that was quite a while ago, so take it for what it's worth.
