CD Cabinets

Ragnarok. Two days ago we mounted our two new CD cabinets on the wall and they both seemed to sit there just fine. However, one of the cabinets had smaller henges so we had to use smaller screws. This prooved fatal. Yesterday I filled the cabinets with our CDs. The top cabinet with around 200 CDs must have weighed around 50-70 kilos. Later on in the evening while I was tending to business elsewhere in the apartment I heard what sounded like the livingroom collapsing. A screw holding the top cabinet had broken and a chain reaction was in full progress. The top cabinet fell onto the bottom cabinet which then also broke loose and proceeded to rip out the antenna outlet which was just below it. The top cabinet fell down onto the floor, kept rolling and stopped, amazingly enough, vertically 10 inches from the TV. Spectacular.

Most of the CDs seems to have survived. Most importantly none of the Pearl Jam stuff have suffered. That would have been tragic. The cabinets themselves barely got a scratch but the floor received a bad bruise.
