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

I bought one of these and converted it into a modular mini rack for tiny home PC servers. :DAlso good for a CD or two.

Nice compact rack, a bit fiddly to put together and not very strong but does the job.

Great

Value for money

Shame on you last week I bought 2 racks for about 17£ now your selling just one rack for 17£ each 🤯 and I just tried picking them up and they fell apart

First the good points about these CD racks. One, they stack nicely on top of each other and are stable. Two if you have the big standard single plastic CD case they are fine.Now the bad. They are so fiddly to put together. Can’t believe four bits of plastic putting together didn’t fit easily but they are so tricky getting them aligned - it’s the last bit (in my case the tops) that was a real pain. Secondly if you have anything slightly wider than your standard CD case such as a cardboard one then they snag getting in and out.Overall then these racks are ok. I have had better in particular the Hama Nexus ones but these are expensive. For the price they are ok. They look fine when they are all built.

Item is what I required

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.
