Keeping your collection of DVDs in a box does the job but most of the time you want to keep them in easy reach and have them displayed as well.
Using a DVD tower is the best way to get both storage and aesthetic display.
Also storing in specialized places prevents your precious DVD's from getting damaged or crushed.
Here are some important points to keep in mind while shopping for one.
Quantity: Ask yourself how many DVDs you are planning to store.
Usually the more space you have the better you are prepared to handle a future increase in your DVD collection.
Quality: Although many DVD towers may seem sturdy when empty.
With a large collection piled up in the tower, it may struggle.
Always place quality both in material and design first while choosing a DVD tower as you are going to use it for a long time.
Adaptability: Keep in mind that some DVD-tower do not allow for storing large or double case DVDs.
If you have such DVDs or even a variety of Games CD etc, then look for one that allows you to adjust for size.
Stability: Always check for stability as some DVD-towers do tend to tip over easily when they are full and/or placed on thick carpets.
If carpet is the issue, then get one that stands on four little legs and not the flat bottom type.
Accessibility: Slipping in and out DVDs from the tower should be smooth and easy even with a full load on the DVD tower.
Make sure you check there is enough room in the slots.
The DVD-tower should also not be too high for easy reach.
Simplicity: If you are getting a cabinet type tower then make sure you get one with easy to follow instructions for assembly.
Sometimes unclear instructions can lead you to ruining your expensive purchase and a lot of frustration.
