"I spotted the idea just a week before expecting a houseful, so, with company on the horizon - and a sustainability commitment to buy secondhand - I scoured my local thrift shops for a '90s-style CD rack. From perusing national thrift chains to our local charity shops, I came up empty. So empty, in fact, that I didn't make my deadline."
"However, during lunch with my family at a neighborhood restaurant, I quickly checked Facebook Marketplace (which I had been faithfully scouring for a CD holder). Something caught my eye: an angled shelf unit. While the seller had the rack laden with books, I knew it could serve the same purpose as the styled bathroom CD holder I saw. Since it was only $15, I knew it was a good price, so within 15 minutes of the seller posting it online, we had a deal."
A ranch-style home with frequent family visits caused small bathrooms to receive extra use. A narrow CD-style rack was identified as a practical way to keep guest items accessible. A committed secondhand search through national thrift chains and local charity shops for a '90s-style CD rack produced no results. A Facebook Marketplace listing later revealed an angled shelf unit priced at $15, which was purchased within minutes of posting. The unit was retrieved the same day and repurposed as bathroom shelving. Similar narrow shelves or CD racks are available online when local secondhand options are scarce.
