Looking for "short" DVD storage shelves...

sdmike · 11-25-05, 10:54 AM

Hello;

I haven't had much luck finding any shelves like this ready to buy, so I'm wondering if anyone out there has happened to seen any short (no taller than 35-36") shelves that will work for storing DVD's. The reason for needing them short is that they will fit underneath some windows. And, hopefully I'm not being too picky, I'd like it to (at least sort of) match the black Boltz shelves I have now.

Thanks in advance,
Mike

They aren't shelves, but drawer units, and they do come in black...

I have one in front of a window.
They are nice, but way overpriced.

Those are very nice and pretty close to what I'm looking for... Couldn't agree more with you on them being over-priced, though. Wonder if there's a cheaper alternative somewhere? Thanks for the input!

heres what i use:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS...&s=pc&v=glance

its about 28 inches tall, can hold 120 dvds, and are stackable if you ever want to move them. the sides are more greyish instead of black, however. theyre also pretty cheap, only 30 bucks.

Not only multi-media racks, but you can also use regular bookcases, which are available in various of sizes from small to large. Most department, and furniture stores will have them in stock of all kinds. The colors are usually: Brown, Black Walnut, and Tan.

It depends what you are looking for...I like the one at Amazon, I have full tall rack that is like that.

I also have a dark cherry wood one that probably holds 60 DVD's. Very nice looking, I got it from Target.
