CD & DVD Storage

Welcome to our CD & DVD Storage page! There are many types of these products available on the market and it is sometimes easy to become overwhelmed with all of the selection available. This page is designed to make this process easier, go through the most known storage devices and teach you how to find the best deals possible. The economy is in the dumps and most people do not want to nor want to break the bank when shopping for one of these. However, that should not stop anybody from being able to get and keep organized.

As your media selection grows, a time will come when it will become too much to handle without a good way of storing it. Even though it might not bother you initially, after you get to the point where you cannot find the movie or music album that you are looking for it will start to become annoying.

DVD Storage Furniture Solutions (Cabinets, Cases, Rack, Tower)

Cabinets - These come either with one or two doors on them and the size will depend on the amount of media that you are looking to store within them. The models are usually made out of wood, metal or plastic. No matter if you want the contemporary look or you are looking for something more futuristic, there will be something here for you. These can also be a part of the entertainment system setup with cabinets surrounding the opening for the actual television.

Cases - When you are looking for stand-alone storage for your movies than cases are usually a good way to go. They can hold a lot of pieces as well as often come without any doors and this will allow for you to display your collection. I have noticed some people show off other things than CD's or DVD's in these and they really do serve their purpose quite nicely.

Rack - Usually a bit smaller than cases, these will stand tall and might even reach close to the ceiling. Also a good way to store the collection. Make sure to get one of the DVD racks which will match the decor or the room and other furniture within it as otherwise this will stick out like a sore thumb.

Tower - This one reminds me of Tower records which closed its doors, partly to the online sales and partly to the ongoing bootlegging of music. DVD towers used to be very popular a few years back and are quite small. Some have openings on all sides and rotate, which allow to place a very nice sized collection within them. The rotating ones are a bit tricky especially when made out of plastic as they tend to start malfunctioning under the weight and it is better to get ones with a metal frame.

DVD Storage Boxes

Unlike regular boxes, these are especially made to store media well. Normal compact discs or DVD's do not last for too long under normal conditions, especially the ones that you burned yourself. The average time frame for them run at around 10 to 20 years but it isn't exactly known as they haven't been on the market long enough to experience a large failure rate.

Before purchasing, decide how many of the items you are going to place in the box and that it does not allow sun or moisture to seep through. These two elements are the ones most dangerous to the wellbeing of your DVDs. I recommend ones with handles as these boxes can get quite heavy when filled.

DVD Storage Binder

The DVD binders can come in all shapes and sizes. They can be square, rectangle or oval in shape and hold anywhere from one to ten CDs on one sheet. They are very easy to close and store on a regular shelf or in a cabinet next to the entertainment system and although not the best storage, these are the cheapest way to go.
