Hama CD Rack for 20 CDs | CD Storage for Hanging or Standing, Space-Saving, Small CD Stand, for the Office or Any Room | Black

This `box' for cds is easy to push together, although no instructions are included it is quite straightforward. I have mine on it's side, another double case is stood upright. They are fairly sturdy and do the job for ordinary crystal cases. I've given it 5 stars because, for the money, it is good value. I see others have complained about lack of versitility but pay more and you will get it.

I like music - I dislike digital music which, except for the convenience and portability aspect, is usually inferior to CDs and vinyl (CDs being better than vinyl in all ways that matter except for nostalgia). As a result I have several hundred CDs, a large proportion of which are organised using these storage units. In total, I have 18 of these CD storage units, all black. Each unit holds 20 standard sized CD cases - anything other than standard sized jewel cases (or the more modern cardboard equivalent) is not going to fit; that means some larger packaged double albums, multiple CD collections; special editions, book-like CDs etc will have to be stored elsewhere. Units arrive flat-packed and boxed. There are no instructions but they are not difficult to assemble - each part is stamped left/right /front/top etc as appropriate. Whilst they are sturdy once assembled, be careful how you put them together - the parts need to be pushed quite firmly until they click in to place *but* if you are overly aggressive, the plastic locking-tags can break, especially if not aligned properly. On the external faces, each storage unit has protrusions and corresponding depressions so that they can be stacked together; they also have holes for wall mounting. My units are all stacked in a cupboard but if they were stacked high and free standing, I would advise using the screw-holes for stability. In use, they are strong enough for the purpose for which they were designed. Moving a unit whilst full is however not advisable; CDs are not held locked in place, the grooves simply help align the cases and they can move around. In short they do the job for which they were designed; the advantage of using these units is as a space multiplier; I can now get three times as many CDs on each shelf than I would if I did not use the units. They are not cheap; but they do cost less than new shelving and they can be arranged to suit the space to hand. Recommended.

My rack was a tad tricky to assemble but ultimately came together fairly easily - so let that pass! The end result is a sturdy, little rack for storing CDs. These can be wall hing or stacked vertically or side-by-side on a shelf to give you a pretty versatile storage place. I'm pleased with my one.

It holds standard CD Jewel Cases just fine and even has a bump-stop at the back so they don't spill out, but putting it together is a bit of a faff to the point where I snapped one clip off immediately. I'd still happily buy another as it's a good and compact way to store my revived physical media collection, but if the price goes up even a little bit I'd feel ripped off.

Just as expected and has great space

As per previous reviews, straight forward to assemble but for whatever reason the final push fit option is out of line and on both I had something snap off whilst having to exert additional force which then means they aren't as tight as they should be, meaning the CD's don't sit square in the rack.

Been looking for small CD storage for a while to sit on a shelf. This unit is just the ticket! I bought 2, and now I've just ordered a third because they fit my space perfectly. Easy to order - even easier to assemble - just clip it together - No instructions needed! From unpacking the 2 boxes, to putting my CD's on the shelves was less than 5 minutes. When constructed they are quite sturdy. They sit on top of each other or side by side, and there are mounting holes to fix to a wall if you wish (provide own fixings for that). I'm very pleased - good value for money!

We wanted something to tidy up my son's collection of Cd's. This little rack fits the bill and can be used vertically or horizontally. Was initially a little fiddly to assemble but all good in the end.
