Can these be stored on their side so that the spine/title of each DVD faces outward rather than upward?

Yes, they can. That is how I have all 16 of them. They even stack on their sides, if space is a concern.
570904
Yes, although it's not the best use of the design. They work well in the stack mode and interlock, when set on their side they can move if jarred.To aid in title selection I use tags ( on the end on the box) to catalog the tiles and rating then stack on the self in my library. They should work either way, enjoy.

No,they are not removable. The DVD holders are built in as part of the unit. That is part of the purpose of this TV stand.

I think you would need to get ones marked as DVD cases. These wouln't be deep enough for a DVD. Hope this helps.

My DVDs fit with their original cases if you put them in lengthwise - so you can see the titles but the titles will run from the front to the back of the cabinet. CDs fit the other way, so their titles can be read from left to right as you face the cabinet. As someone else pointed out, you will get a lot more CDs than DVDs in each drawer.

Hello...yes, you can store the DVDs with the title showing. The width measurement of the box (the part of the box where the handle is) is just over the width of a DVD. There is about a finger-depth gap to enable you to pull a DVD out easily. I have got between 18 and 20 DVDs in each box, depending on the outer box size. Hope this isn't too confusing to understand.

You could probably modify the shelves but they are preset for CD's and DVD's. But they work very well. They are lightweight so I do suggest anchoring them to the wall. Most attractive and we have received several compliments on them.

No, there are sufficient shelves for CDs. You would take out shelves if you wanted to adjust height to hold DVDs.

The shelves are held by pins pushed into holes that are drilled up and down on the sidesof the unit. You can select where to place the shelves. I only wanted to use it for dvd's sothat is how I arranged it.

The DVDs will not fit standing up. If you lay them on their side, then 2 stacks of 9 (one in front and one in back) will fit in the small bucket compartment and 4 stacks of 9 in the large bucket compartment. It would work, but you would not be able to see all of the DVDs at one time. A chest of drawers that you could see all the titles facing up when you opened the drawer is another option.

No, DVD cases will not stand up on long or short side in any of the drawers.

Mine is hung horizontally and it does hold DVDs but not very well, but it works

No. The DVD covers need to be either folded or the sides need to be cut about a centimeter or 2

I would not recomend hanging horizontally. The larger dvd boxes might stay in but blue ray boxes would fall out. Plus there's a base stand at bottom that dresses it up. It's really quite nice vertical, but you do need to fasten top to wall to keep it from falling over.

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.

Yes, the one I bought is running on it's side with no problems. In fact, the DVD/CDRW drive is sideways, for that reason it makes more sense to run it sitting on it's side than standing up. As some of the other answers point out, outside of the DVD player orientation, it looks like it was made to stand up.

Yes. in any position i.e. when the disc's are stacked vertically or horizontally.

I have too many dvds for storage in the drawers..I threw out the covers and store my movies in dvd cases which fit well..
