CD Cases / Furniture Recommendations?


I have a collection of 1,000 CDs that are currently on shelves, simply stacked vertically (on their short sides). Can anyone recommend a good solution to hold and organize these? What has worked for you?

The Boltz is nice. It's got a clear coat finish that makes it look better in person than in the ad photos. Unfortunately, it doesn't fit with my decor (WAF), so I've stuck with black CD tower spinners.

As my disc collection has grown, I've traded up to bigger and bigger spinners. I just put in a huge spinner, with capacity of 26 CDs per shelf, 10 shelves per side, and four sides. That's a capacity of 1040 jewel cases. You could actually put more in there if you're willing to put CDs sideways between the tops of the CDs on the shelves and the bottom of the shelves above. The top is flat, so you could put stuff on top, too. It stands about 64 inches tall, is about 19x19 inches long and wide, and requires a turning circle of about 26 inches diameter. The mother of all spinners. Here's the link:

Price is $249 ex shipping. It comes in two boxes that are fairly heavy, and you have to assemble it yourself. (Not too hard, but you have to be careful.)

Incidentally, they also have other CD storage products on the following page:

Good luck.
I have been buying about one CD per week on average. Now three years later, I am starting to run out of room on the 1040 CD spinner I described above.

At the time (2004), it was the biggest spinner I could find, but it seems the manufacturers are keeping up with me by making bigger and bigger ones. I recently found one with rated capacity of 1600 CDs. Again, one could probably stuff in more than that by stacking the jewel cases horizontally on the spinner's shelves. Here's the link:

I bought a black one, and, yes, it's huge. Should satisfy my needs until I break down and go to hard drive music storage. (Huh.)
