Default Shelving unit with cubes large enough to double stack DVDs?

When I went to look at it I found you can only store one row of DVDs
in each cube, its too short to allow stacking them on top of each
other and not wide enough to allow two, side by side, stacks.

Does anyone know of a shelving unit like thisbut with cubes just a bit
larger so I can fit all my DVDs in it.

Thanks

Wow. 200 bucks for 20 bucks worth of wood. If you have any kind or
carpentry/woodworking skills at all, and access to a table saw (or even
a simple miter box), you can build your own purpose-built wall rack for
that kind of money. Doesn't even have to have any miters, just Very
Square 90-degree cuts. I'd make the outer box out of 2x6, or even 5/4
hardwood, slot the vertical members, and use 1x for the shelves. CDs
don't weigh much- unless you make it real wide, you don't even really
need the vertical dividers, or you could just use jam-fit floating
blocks cut to the exact length between shelves. If you don't feel up to
carpentry, and don't mind paying a little cash, any local custom
woodworking shop could make something for you quite easily, sized to fit
the wall area you want to hang it on. They can even put a couple of back
rails on it, to make it stiffer and easier to hang on the wall. A shelf
like this is about as simple as custom cabinetry can get.

Other option- try an office furniture store, and look for the
purpose-built shelves they sell for storing computer CDs/DVDs. Usually a
little institutional looking, but you may be able to find something.
