Shelves are 24 - 5/8" wide, holds 60 cds, and X 14 shelves. The overall height is 107.5 ", including the 3.5" kick toe base.
One reason for the extra height is each shelf is faced with a piece of 1 x 2 oak ( 3/4' x 1.5'), this conceals the dados for the shelves, so every shelf adds 3/4' to the height. I only allowed 5.25" inches for the cd, or else the darn thing would have been even taller. LOL
The height is not a big concern, more important, was that it need to fit in a specific area and hold as many CD/DVD/PS2/GC that it could, and fill a rather uselss corner. I will still need to build anotehr unit at some point, but that will go in the puter room, which is next to the family room, so it will work out eventually I think. LOL
