Digital camera reviews of Bellagio-Italia CD/DVD Storage Binder (Black)
Digital camera Review: Good for the price
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought 6 of these binders and they cleaned up a mess of CDs stacked in my bookcases. The "look" is nice. One of the binders had plastic sleeves that split open. The company replaced them quickly and with no hassle. For that, plus the reasonable price, they get 4 stars. I sorted my CDs by type: jazz, foreign, rock, country, etc., and can now actually find and listen to the music I own. Should have done this months ago.Digital camera Review: Good quality, nice appearance, no tabs, no labels
Summary: 3 Stars
The binder looks nice and appears to be good quality. The page inserts hold 4 DVDs each, 2 on each side. Each pocket has a soft cloth-like center sheet that the data side of the DVD rests against. It looks like it would protect from scratches. This is covered with a clear plastic cover, which has a small flap at the top to keep the disk from falling out if the binder were stored upside down. That flap could be better designed. If you do not lift it up before inserting the disk, it is very difficult to get it up.
Next to each cover is a narrow (1" wide) vertical pocket for a label. No blank labels were provided. There were also no tabs or divider pages provided and the design of the binder and pages do not really allow any space for divider pages. I would prefer getting rid of the narrow label space, making the pages narrower overall, and leaving space for divider pages, which should be provided. I went to the manufacturer website, [...]. They do not even offer any other type of pages.
There is a very small bracket on the spine that will take a 1.5" x 1" paper label. Again, no blanks are provided. These deficiencies cost them .5 stars.
The binder comes with 12 pages each holding 4 disks for a capacity of 48 disks. The binder looks like it could hold at least 3 times that many pages - maybe less when full. Replacement pages are almost as expensive as the binder + pages. I paid $[...] for the binder and 12 pages. The cost for 8 replacement pages is $[...]. It looks like they are trying to make a much bigger profit on the replacements pages and they provide way too few in the beginning. This cost them 1.5 stars.
I am going to go down to the local stationery store and look for standard binders and insert pages for DVDs/CDs. It probably won't be quite as pretty on the shelf, but then I am storing mainly software - not classic performances by the Berlin Philharmonic.
Digital camera Review: Gotta have more!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this for a friend who wanted to declutter her living room and get rid of the huge DVD stand. You can add more pages as the binder is quite large. After seeing hers I decided to buy some for myself. High quality. Looks great. Creates a more formal living environment while keeping your DVD's and CD's close by.Digital camera Review: Great Product
Summary: 5 Stars
Great space saver and it looks really nice! The price, in my opinion, is too high. However, the good looks and space-saving benefits outway the price. I recommend this product.
Digital camera Review: Great Product for Organizing
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband bought me several of these binders, and I've been so pleased with the organized storage they provide. My entertainment center was a mess before, and it was difficult to see what dvds we had or find what we were looking for.
Now the dvds are organized by categories (kids, adults, religious, etc.). My entertainment center looks orderly and classy.
Each binder has a place to insert a title on the binding, so you can find the right book. It is a binder, so you can add more pages. You can use it to store cds or dvds. It works just right! As good as I expected it to be.
