Bookcase for DVD and CD storage

Recommended Posts

He guys I'm in the process of buying a new TV stand I will also want to buy a new bookcase to store my DVD's and CD's.

I have checked out BB and some other box stores (including Ikea) and I have found nothing that I like, a lot of cheap MDF with plastic type ones. I would preffer solid wood or something similar.

If anyone could point me in the right direction that would be much appreciated.

Hay wuzzer thanks for your help &%%&,I thought it was a valid post.

The post was meant as a joke my man. You said

and I did. I usually put the winking smilie by each lmgtfy.com post I do but I forgot to on this one. I'm the last one to be a jerk to anyone online.

I was in the same situation a few years back and had my eyes on the Boltz storage units. Then after looking at the space that I had for the storage unit it would not work. I ended up just making a 6 tier DVD/CD storage out of wood that fit the space exactly. I can get 100 Cd's and a little less for DVD's per shelf and it is full. I stained the wood a cherry stain and it came out good and fits my needs.

Do you have the means to build something yourself?

Hay James I think your right about maaking my own. I went to a nice (made on site) furniture store and saw a bookcase I really liked, solid Oak about 3x5 feet with nice crown mouldig, verey very nice. Then I saw the $500 price and I walked away[:'(]

Im on my way to the local lumber yard to see if I can reproduce it, dug out my old router and miter saw and made sure they both work. I think all I need to do is buy the matterial and some new bits and build it (ok won't be that easy) Might be an excuse to get back into woodworking.[:D]

Ill post some pics after its done.

Great to hear and didn't forget measure twice cut once. I believe I used solid oak and just a simple design that fits the entire space that I had available.

I didn't have the tools but a buddy does so he was able to cut everything for me and I was just marking letters on the pieces and he cut them. Got everything home and stained the pieces to get close to my cherry RF-83's and then assembled. I did leave the last tier off and purchased the wood a few months later to finish it off. I didn't think that I would need all 5 to begin with but I was wrong.

Good luck and do post some pictures when it is finished.

James
