There Are Many Good Options For CD Shelving

For those of us raised in the era of the phonograph records, which ranged from 45rpm to 33rpm, the new technology always takes us a little by surprise, even though we welcome most of the changes after a while. However, the shelves we used to store the 33rpm records on would waste a lot of space if we attempted to use it for CD shelving. The 33rpm records were 12" in diameter, which means the CDs would be stacked both two deep and two high, so we could not see the ones in back and would spend quite a bit of time digging for the right one, sending us looking for the perfect CD DVD storage shelves.

CD storage shelves are made out of wood, metal and plastic, all good quality materials, and they can be made for standing on the floor or hanging on the wall. Except for the difference in cost, it really comes down to the matter of personal taste. Some of these are open, while others are enclosed in cabinets, out of sight, another personal preference. So, how do you choose which CD shelf is the right one for you? People with small children may benefit from the ones that have doors on them or the CD wall shelves that can be hung out of the reach of the child.

A CD in the case measures 4 ¾" high x 5 ½" deep and a DVD case measures 7 ½" high x 5 ¼" deep, so make sure the shelf is enough taller to allow you room to get your fingers in to easily remove them from the shelf. Many of the shelves are adjustable, which is handy if you want to combine the storage of both items, or even use them for other things until you fill them up. There are so many types and styles to choose from that it is worth taking your time to figure out the right one for you.

Before deciding which CD shelving is right for you, count how many you have and check how many each of them holds. Some of them are able to be made in double and even triple widths so it looks like one big shelf. Take into account the people who live in the house with you and if there are small children, you may want a cabinet that closes or shelving that hangs on the wall out of reach. Your budget, personal preference and the space you have to put it in is all the rest of the information you need to make the perfect decision.
