Works very well as a way to condense DVD storage. Sturdy, aesthetically pleasing - not plastic-y at all. There are 21 pages with 2 DVD pockets and 1 cover pocket per page - so effectively you get 21 per unit unless you double up the covers too (I doubled up on series like the XMen trilogy, etc.) The downside is that the pages are not removable, thus if you like to keep things alphabetized, you will spend time moving covers and DVDs.

My wife came up with the idea of placing all my DVDs in binders...I rejected the idea at first, but then saw her point about how our family room started to look like a video store.

Now our shelves have more space and doesn't look so awkwardly colorful--the binders actually match the color scheme of our house!

I know the other review mentions that the binder doesn't stay closed, but that's only if you fill each page with two DVD discs--meaning every DVD the other reviewer has is a two-disc set. If you fill the binder up to its capacity, I can see that happening--but if you just have your average stack of DVDs, this is the product for you!

The best thing about these binders: It's highly unlikely anyone will ask to borrow a DVD--especially those "never-bring-them-back" friends! Without the covers, they can't!

Five Star product...all the way!

Very impressed with the quality of this item. Has three heavy wood sides so you know your DVDs won't get crushed if you stack these albums on their side. Dimensions are approximately 7 /12 x 9 1/4 x 4 inches. The catch is magnetic and we have had no problems with it popping open even storing ours with the binder/label up in a drawer. Note that you cannot add pages to this album. Each page consists of one side with a big clear plastic pocket for the movie booklet on one side and two black pockets on the back side. Not as useful if you don't have double DVD movies. Note that you cannot see the DVDs in the pockets so you cannot tell what movie it is without pulling the DVD out. We would not recommend this one for anyone who trades/swaps movies and does not have the movie booklet since it is difficult to tell what the movies are at a glance - you will need to come up with some other way of labeling them. 4 stars for quality of the product, 2 stars for ease of use.

We have a ton of DVDs and we were running out of space. It was especially bad because of big DVD collections. We have all 22 disks from the old 'I Spy' TV series for example, which by itself took up a foot of shelf space. Then I saw these Allsop DVD albums. They are good looking, so no problem with having them in your living room, and can reduce the needed space by about 5 to 1. 40 DVDs can take up to 2 feet of shelf space, but the Allsop albums compress that down to less than 4 inches.

The guy who reviewed them and said they pop open bought a different product. He said his cases stored 64 disks. These store 40, and I have crammed them full with 40 disks and inserts for each one and never have they popped open. If you have lots of DVDs you can buy big expensive furniture or you can buy these. It's no contest.

One hint. If you are going to store series like we do, you'll want to put in inserts to tell you what episodes are on the disks. You can just take the insert from the original case, or copy it. We keep the old cases in a box in the garage in case we decide to give them away some day.

Buy one and try it. You'll probably do like we did and come back for more.

I bought with the intent on organizing my DVD collection. They look great on a shelf, but once you load 64 DVDs into the cases they have a very hard time staying shut. I ended up having to put an elastic around the top and bottom in order for it to stay closed, which kinda defeated the whole purpose of buying them in the first place. I would stick to a case that zips around so you don't have this problem.

This is the best DVD storage case that I have seen. It is very well worth the price and the craftmanship is EXCELLENT!!! I got my girlfriend and parents hooked on this case as well. If your DVDs are as important to you as mine are then you need to get this case. The delivery time was exact and the product was received in great condition. BUY ONE or TWO or THREE. I DID!!!

The CD/DVD Albums are great for organizing, only take up a fraction of the space and look great on the shelves.

These albums have twenty pages, each of which can hold 2 discs. So I'll need a few more than I planned. But they are really nice albums. The pages can be fully utilized unlike the other albums I've tried.

I bought the DVD storage and the smaller CD version to house my collection that was quickly growing out of control. I've researched many styles of media storage systems, and this best fit my needs; it has space to house the DVD covers as well as two discs in each page, and the wood cover "pages" around the top, back, and base keep the dust away from my DVDs, and the magnetic closure keeps the album closed. I printed labels to insert into the spine, and my problem is solved! I also made sure to order several extra to accommodate future additions to my collection. I also love that they look like books, and fit inconspicuously into my bookcase. Note that each page holds a cover and two discs, so plan on storing 20 movies per album if you want to keep the covers with the discs. Also, the black and tan faux-leather cover is classic and won't go out of style anytime soon.

These binders look good and my library takes up a lot less space now. I've had these binders for years now without any trouble. I only put one movie per page so do not overstuff the binder.
