Someone said the drawers aren't good for storing DVDs -- why?

You can certainly store SOME, but the drawers are relatively small. A single drawer will hold about 26-27 DVDs, turned so that you can read the titles on the spine., I use the drawers for manuals and cables, and other things I use with the other equipment.

Draw is big enough but does not open very far. Will have to turn DVD's to get in and out.

Because the DVD's can only go in horizontally, not vertical. Since they can only go in in this direction it makes the DVD's difficult to get out. You have to take all the front ones out in order to get to the back ones. If you dont mind unloading the drawer to get to the DVD's in the back then its fine to store them in.

I have my CD's stored in their cases in this cabinet. I do not use the cabinet for DVD's but I just put one in the cabinet and it fits long wise in the case and the drawer closes fine. Good Luck

The drawers are not set up for file holders. Only about 6-7" of clearance each drawer.

there are 7 movable shelves. perhaps they were counting the bottom which is still used to store cd's. It store approx 14 DVD's per shelf...You could probably fit CD's. We keep the DVD's in their boxes, so that takes up a little more room.

Hello....No,not a good idea... The weight will be too much due to the number of DVDs. The wood is made out of particle board.

Not exactly. I use it for DVDs but my door has an offset panel that accommodates just enough space for DVDs. If the door was flat I don't think they would fit (with spines facing out.) If you have older wooden doors with paneling you have a better chance of it working but I think most newer doors wouldn't work. But then for 25 bucks it might be worth a shot anyway!I also cut some cardboard to fit along the bottom of the shelves so the DVDs wont fall through.

It's not deep enough for paperback books or dvds to sit w/the ends like a bookshelf. You could put them sideways but that wouldn't be good for finding them & there's a probably something better suited for that.

We bought this for the living room. It looks great but sadly the drawers are not deep enough to store DVDs on their side so you can read the title. They also do not slide easily and as Paul said they only pull partway out.

No they are not. We easily stacked a older (thicker) DVD/VHS combo and a satellite box on top of each other. There was still ample room above with out making them "squeeze" in there. This on on the second shelf. As answered below, there is more room on the bottom shelf.

No, they are too small for a DVD unless you don't want to use the top. You'd need something larger if you want to store DVDs standing upright.

The previous answer is correct. The drawers don't come all the way out. It would tip over if they did. I needed a small file, so I don't fill it completely, and I'm very pleased with it.

Yes, DVDs will fit in the drawers, spine down, with room to spare over top. I just tried this out to make sure.

The opening on the drawers are limited. I thought they opened a little more than what they actually do but they don't. Small space in the drawers. This tool box isn't really good for storing lots of heavy tools.

I think it would/could work very well for DVD's. There are two shelves behind the door & could also use the open shelf. I have 2 of these as night stands in a spare bedroom, and love them. I think they are usable for most any small items to be stored. I love the two that I have.

It is slightly too shallow to accommodate a standard DVD case, however they could be stored on a slight angle. This may actually be preferred as the the DVDs won't fall through the openings on the bottom.

No, the drawers are not quite deep enough. The tabs make the file folder too tall.

DVDs don't fit standing up on their side in the drawer, only laying flat. They do fit in the cuby where the drawer goes, on their side edge.
