Shelfy help needed

[venta]

I need to get some shelves on which to store that part of my CD collection[*] which doesn't fit into the tower I bought it last year.

Can anyone recommend (preferably inexpensive) shelves which will do the following:

(a) fix securely to a flimsy wall.
(Yes, it's an outside, and alledgedly load-bearing, wall. Sadly, our house was built by nutters who thought swiss cheese was a valid alternative to brick)

(b) for related reasons, be reasonably light

(c) give good CD-storage for amount-of-wall-covered.
(I'm currently 80 CDs worth of shelf space under the odds...)

[*] Sadly, plans to nail the CDs directly to the wall, glue them to the ceiling, or otherwise cause them to hover above the stereo have all had to be dismissed as unworkable.

I have my old CD storage boxes, which have screw holes for wall mounting (although I never did). You're welcome to them.
They're the "modular system" variety: 10 CDs to a box, with seperators between (so they're not quite as small as they might be). But you can arrange them in whatever interesting pattern you like.

Hmm... thanks for the offer.

It probably depends on how many you have, how small they aren't, and whether I can find something that I can cram even more CDs into :)

Well, they certainly match your inexpensive requirement. Um... I think I've got 10 boxes which take 10 CDs, and 2 which each take 5 double CDs. Since HMV stopped selling that variety, I've also got 2 of the newer stuff they sell, which is a rack which takes 25 single/double CDs, with no dividers. It's spring loaded, so it'll hold CDs upright, even if it's not fully stacked. So that ought to be enough. You might as well have a look, 'cos I can always just put 'em away again, if you don't want them.
