    I thought I would ask as I am looking for a good wall mounted CD storage system and have not found anything that fits the bill. I have about 800 CDs I want to put up on the side of my music room. I want it fully wall mounted and quite light so possibly thin metal rather than wood. I want narrow shelves only about the size of a CD so it does not intrude too much into the room as well.

    Does anyone have any suggestions, even for firms who may make a custom system for me?

    Thanks!

    Not sure where you're located but here's a UK site worth having a look at http://www.coolshelving.com/

    Even if you're not based in the UK it might give you some ideas.

    There's a shop in the UK called Habitat, which is nothing like it once was, and many many years ago they had a wall mounted cd rack for sale. It was part of some famous people design thing they had going and this one was designed by Sharleen Spiteri from the band Texas.

    Here's a picture of it I found online. [​IMG]

    I quite liked them myself but I had too many cds. In addition the price wasn't cheap and I was renting at the time so my landlord wouldn't made a fuss if I wanted to put a few of these up.

    It held about 500 cds. I'm pretty sure it was made out of stainless steel with the vertical large sections in the photo wood (I think)

    You might be able to find a local craftsman to make a couple of these for you.

    EDIT: Here's a link to an April 2015 ebay auction. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CD-rack-R...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

    The auction will probably disappear soon enough but the details are there still. Dimensions are 39.5" x 5.25" x 28.25

    It looks like the whole things is connected via the sides and the middle section with a long (?) screw. You can see the top in the ebay ad.

    I just picked up a couple of the Ikea Gnedby units. Here is a link to them. String up a few of them up and your storage problems are solved.

    Another Gnedby fan here. Bolt a few together with cabinet bolts and get some Ikea Corner Kits and you can run them around corners too. Just make sure you conceal/pad/countersink the cabinet bolts so they don't scratch any jewel cases.

    We're re-doing the office with a focus on making it my media hub so I would have a place for my LPs and CDs that have been sitting in various boxes throughout the house. Picked up some Kallax and Gnedby units. It's nice to finally have all of my CDs in one centralized location, but geez, did I ever underestimate how many CDs I have. I figured 5 Gnedby units would be sufficient and probably even allow me to put a few box sets on the last one. Turns out I needed 7 Gnedbys after I had pulled together all my CDs throughout the house. :shrug:
