CD racks- railing against the world 18:49 - Jul 15 with 2284 viewssparks

This sums up modern Britain for me.

I am doing some reorganising. Bought a really solid, quick and economical shelving system from shelfstore (recommended). Now wondering what to do with my home made bookcases which are looking a bit tatty, but in part house my cd collection, and provide a surface for stacking some effective old cd racks.

So I thought I would look online for some new wall mounted cd racks.

The vast majority are poncey diagonal things, or little black shelves with room for about 6 cds in each of 5 little sections. Or ones which just allow you to stack half a dozen in various fancy positions on a wall. They are made for poseurs and people who want to pretend they know about music when they really dont- so just want to display a few cds.

Can't find anything that is actually practical for someone who actually likes music and has more than a few Snow patrol albums to show off to their visitors.

Do you think that might perhaps have been intentional?

I still try to get the old fashioned CD cases (the ones in drawers of 2 or 4 sections) but only really found them in charity shops. My husband has his on 2 shelves, and a couple of old wooden cabinets.

I had the same problem a few years ago with my books. Essentially all paperback books are the same size, and I like to keep a lot of them, but no-one sold a bookcase of the correct dimensions. So I made one. I'm not much of a carpenter but it was quite straightforward.
It's been up on the wall for over 20 years and looks quite good although I do say so myself!
I'd put a picture of it here if I could figure out how to do that........and if anyone was vaguely interested.

I wish I could find someone to make me a mangle rack

I dont need to show anything off. I need practical accessible storage.


I bought a CD rack from www.iansbespokefurniture.co.uk, made in a little workshop by Ian Edwards and a small team. Mine is a beechwood 4-sided carousel, which holds up to 3,200 cds. It is utterly brilliant. Various designs, sizes and woods are available. Delivered and installed in around 6 weeks.

They look cool. Albeit costly.

I take care of my hearing.

I carry around special music listening ear plugs on my key ring.


Just me that lolled at this?

I know they're not wall mounted - but surely the solution for CD holding is

doesn't anyone who has CDs use a number of these?

I have to say, you've given me a right old chuckle here, so thank you!

I'm sick of going over to the houses of friends and them being all like "Here Sprucey, check out this Snow Patrol CD I've got displayed in this vintage MFI CD rack! Cool AF eh?!"

What bozos!


Yes, I'm always doing this.

"Here, fellow. Check out this cd of the Elgar Cello Concerto... etc"

Why do you need to show off your cd collection? I have 100s, but they are in a box under the spare bed. They don't look good in a rack, very 90s.


Anything else in boxes under your bed?

Awful skinny things. No proper rows, unless you stick loads of them together. Surely in the category of stands which I have criticised above!

Could you just try to make yourself more interesting to save them having to look at your weird music collection when they visit?

Sounds like you're just going to have to make what you want yourself. An ideal lockdown project really.
