A:AnswerI estimate about 300. 30 per shelf. The rack holds them fairly securely, it has an adjustable stop for every shelf. The whole rack is a bit tippy and needs anchored to the wall. It's an acceptable storage solution that doesn't look too cheap. At least for me.
A:AnswerEasily con figured as you build it. I set mine for CDs and DVDs. I've had it for a while and don't remember the cd capacity being on the box, but my 400 cds don't quite fill 7 of the 11 shelves I used. Standard sized Jewel cases. Thin cases would obviously give even more room.
