Buying DVD storage for your home can be tricky but fun at the same time. Depending on whether you have an existing entertainment center or storage capable TV stand to handle some of the load will decide if you need a large or small storage unit. Media storage is something that is often overlooked but one thing that we all have a need for. In this day and age big screen television purchases are on the rise and most homes will have one in the next couple years. The prices have come way down and so have the accessories to accompany them. When you are looking to set your TV room up the first thing you have to consider is if you are buying a television stand or if you just need DVD storage. There are several options in the storage realm including DVD storage cabinets, racks, towers and hanging wall shelves.
Media storage cabinets come in all shapes and sizes. They range in price and can be very expensive if you are buying brand name high quality wood. If you are wanting a stationary piece of storage furniture then you can find very nice looking cherry or mahogony DVD storage cabinets that will not only store all your DVD and CD collections but also serve as a great addition to your living room decor. There are lots of people who do not want to buy separate pieces of furniture for their media storage solutions. I am one of those people, I would rather be able to store all of mine in my LCD TV stand so I bought a nice television stand with DVD storage options built in. These are not hard to find and will come with many options such as storage shelves, drawers and many have locks on the drawers to keep your media safe.
One of the negatives about putting your media on a cabinet is that they tend to be in a high traffic area and also open for dust and sunlight to directly come in contact with your DVD collection. This is a bad thing and that's where media drawers come in very handy.
