Oak has consistently remained a prime choice of timber for quality furniture in Britain and even survived the immensely popular introduction of mahogany furniture during the 18th Century. Its popularity did suffer some decline during the latter part of the 20th Century, partly because it became associated with dark drab interiors and partly because the massive decline in oak timber stocks in the UK made it too expensive to be considered by most people. However, during the 1980s oak recovered its popularity once again thanks to new supplies being sourced overseas, from North America, China and the Far East and a ‘rediscovery’ of the more natural light-coloured oak finishes.
Our DVD and CD storage units are the 21st Century equivalent of the
oak bookcase. They offer a neat and elegant way of storing music, movies and games in keeping with the other furniture in the room. Whether you want CD & DVD storage in a country pine style living room, or disguised to fit into a retro-fashion bedroom, we have a storage unit to suit. There are small units for the storage of regularly used discs, to larger units holding 80 or more discs that are ideal for longer term storage. Many units are available in dark wood finishes, so if you see a style you like, check to see if it is available in a finish that matches your chosen colour scheme.The world of private musical and subsequently visual, entertainment has been a dynamic one for the past 100 years. First came the wax cylinder and then the gramaphone, then the wireless set and the television set. 78s gave way to 45s (ask your parents!) then the music cassette was rendered obsolete by the CD. Now it is the age of the ipod and MP3 player.
