Our Picks

Set of 2 Media Storage Drawers

This set of clear-lidded cd storage drawers stackable in two different-sized boxes can hold multiple media types. The small box stores 57 CDs, 15 VHS, or 26 DVDs. The large holds 120 CDs, 30 VHS, or 54 DVDs.

Designer Advice:

Stackable DVD storage boxes make it easy to keep your media organized and safe. But when stacking several boxes, using translucent materials makes it easier to examine the inner contents without having to take all the boxes down and go through each of them. Instead, you can use sticker labels or markers to write on the hard plastic.

2 Piece Lidded Stackable DVD Storage

This set of sturdy, stackable boxes contains 26 DVD cases in the flat bottom without slots. Big industrial snaps keep the lid secure. And the laminate in purple or white makes the pack water-resistant. Then a label holder identifies the inner contents.

Designer Advice:

If you want an enclosed stackable media storage for discreteness, it’s good to choose a box enclosed and covered. A dark color ensures the inner contents stay private, but white faux leather can do the job. The classic box shape and shiny silver accents make the slim box stylish enough for display on a shelf. And because there are no slots, you can also use this box to store all media and items.

CD Sturdy Storage Bags Carrying Handles- S/2-Total 96 CD's Media Bag

Zebra Print Clear Zip Up Carrying Case

Evelots

These two 21” L x 5” Hx 5.5” W bags have clear PVC sides, making it easy to view the 48 CDs inside. And straps in black polyester with a zebra print zip lid make the bag secure.

$27.99

Designer Advice:

Buying media storage bags in a set ensures your items stack up properly. And the fun zebra print design adds a touch of whimsical glam, while double handles make it easy to carry the bags along or to lift them for access to the CDs. But the rectangular shape and size are specific to CDs rather than DVDs or VHS tapes.

Eco-friendly materials - like zBoard, made of recycled paperboard - have the rustic look of wood but without harming trees. And without harmful toxins or VOCs found in many faux products.

Stackable Media Storage

Buying Guide

Is stackable media storage the best way to organize an extensive DVD collection?

A stackable media storage unit is the ideal way to organize an extensive DVD collection so you can always locate your selection quickly.

Stackable units for storing media are functional, but they can make beautiful decor pieces as well. These storage pieces’ versatility means you can make them fit your space regardless of the room’s shape or size.

Position the stackable storage units as a low corner shelf in a casual rec room, or mount them in a geometric formation on the wall to save floor space and create an eye-catching display for your DVD collection at the same time.

Separate the DVDs on each level of your stackable shelves by genre, year, director, or title to make it easy to grab your pick for movie night in a snap.

What features should I look for in stackable media storage?

First of all, make sure that the stackable media storage unit will hold the type of media that you need to store. (It’s easy to get different types of media and their associated shapes confused!) Then, look for drawers that pull out, so you can easily view all of your CDs or tapes with just one smooth motion.

We’d also look for a unit that has several different drawers so you can organize your media, and for closed-front drawers that are aesthetically pleasing so you can avoid the often very-busy feel of a typical media storage cabinet.
