With ever growing collections of CDs and DVDs you need a place to store them all. But storing them isn’t enough. You want to have them set up so that they’re organized, visible, and easy to reach. They should be stored in a way that you won’t have an avalanche when you pull a box out.

Regular shelves won’t do that. The dimensions are all wrong. If you put your CDs on a regular shelf then no matter how you stack them either you’ll be wasting a lot of space, or the CD that you want will always (trust me on this one) be on the bottom!

There are a lot of CD storage racks available. They come in all shapes and sizes, so you have to decide what your needs are before you invest in one.

In order to know which one is good for you take into account some important points:

How many CDs do you have, and how much room will you want for more in the future?

Do you have shelf space to hold a rack, or do you prefer a floor-standing model?

Will you be storing only CDs, or do you also want to use it for DVDs and tapes?

How many CDs?

This is a really important consideration. If you are already wondering how to store your CDs, then you must have a good number of them already. If you already have that many, then I’m guessing that you’re not done collecting. On the one hand, you really should buy more CD rack space than you need right now, because you’ll fill it. On the other hand, you don’t want to waste a lot of money on unused space that also doesn’t look nice while empty. You need to find the right balance so that you won’t have to go through the whole buying thing again in ½ a year, or take 5 years to fill the rack.

Also, don’t forget that styles and availability are always changing. When you find a rack style that you like, you are probably safer buying a lot of it now just in case it won’t be available anymore when you need to expand.

Shelf CD Rack vs. Floor Standing CD Rack

This is a matter practice. How much shelf space you have opened a CD rack? Moreover, this area is close to your CD player? A standing floor unit, usually a lot of CDs, but you need to bend all. Of course the real big racks all floors, and some of them with 2000 chips now hold!

What will it take?

You are only interested in the CD store, or are you considering other forms of media as well? CD and DVD are the samephysical size, but a DVD storage box is almost twice the size of a CD box, so you can actually only store half the amount of DVDs in a rack than CDs. Also, what about cassettes and VHS tapes? There are storage units available with adjustable shelves for you to store all of the different media that you have.
