While it was originally designed to hold CDs, the cabinet can be used to store a variety of knick knacks — such as office supplies, cosmetics or cutlery. The paper labels are also included, making organizing easy. The library style storage cabinet is roughly three and a half feet tall, two and a quarter feet wide and eight inches deep. It retails online for $270 USD or $200 for the 12-drawer unit.
