Shelving for CDs and DVDs?

[anthony]

I have to rehouse a large collection of CDs and DVDs and am
considering getting a stack of these:

However, my daughter warns me that officeworks furniture can be very
shoddy -- has anyone any practical experience of other adjustable
shelving? The Ikea version (Benno) are a single stack, not double like
these, and are almost twice as expensive. Are there any other units
out there accessible via the internet?

I have 2 of these for my CDs and DVDs. The 1/2 way down shelf is
fixed. The top or bottom half can be configured for mixed CD or DVD
shelves. Up to 8 shelves of DVDs or 12 shelves of CDs in total. Each
little nook holds 15 CDs or 10 DVDs. Its obviously thought out quite
well and I wouldn't call it shoddy. For ~$75 its good value.

Thanks for that.... l think in fact that after some further research,
it's the only product of its type on the market at an affordable
price! The white units look less 'synthetic' than the timber veneers
so I'll go for them

I have posted that link a few times in the past, as a sort of example
of the "holy grail" of cabinets, but could never even consider getting
them due to the cost (and that they can only be shipped as the
completed, constructed unit, blowing the cost out further).

Am I to understand you have actually imported these?

AN.

AN.

Posted it as inspiration to the OP to consider getting something made
locally as I did 7 years ago. I drew up a sketch based on one of the
models and took it to a kitchen cabinet maker at Enfield NSW (before
they import them from Hong Kong these days) - voila

The postage and packaging btw worked out at 4 times the cost of the unit
and then there would demurage and customs handling charges this end. So
not practical unless you were bringing out a container load full for
retail sale
