Techpoint — CD Column Tower 96 — 1990s Original
Vintage 1990s • 360 Ball-Bearing Swivel • Doubles as Side Table
A genuine piece of 1990s music-room furniture: the Techpoint CD Column Tower marries warm solid pine with a powder-coated steel wire cage to store up to 96 albums within an arm's reach, all on a silky ball-bearing swivel that still turns as smoothly as the day it left the factory.
The Techpoint CD Column Tower 96 is a cylindrical free-standing storage unit designed for the serious CD collector. Four dedicated vertical wire columns, each holding 24 standard jewel cases, fan out around a central matte-black steel frame. The natural pine circular top and base give it the warmth of a piece of furniture rather than a piece of equipment, so it sits comfortably in a living room, study or music room without apology.
The integrated 360-degree ball-bearing swivel means every one of those 96 slots is accessible without moving the unit — just a gentle touch sends the whole tower spinning. The flat circular top is generously sized and entirely load-rated, making this an honest piece of dual-purpose furniture: a side table or bedside table that also happens to organise your entire CD library.

The 360-degree ball-bearing rotation mechanism is fully functional and smooth. All four wire column sections are structurally sound with no bent, broken or missing wires observed. The matte black powder-coated steel frame shows light surface wear consistent with its age. The natural wood top and base carry minor marks, light scuffs and a gentle age-related patina — the seller notes these could be sanded down and revarnished to a near-new appearance with minimal effort. No parts are missing.

Will it hold double-fat jewel cases or box sets?
The slots are sized for standard single CD jewel cases. Slim-line cases also fit without issue. Thicker multi-disc cases or box sets may not slot in cleanly, though they could sit loosely in a column if the adjacent slots are left free.
Is the rotation mechanism stiff or noisy?
The ball-bearing swivel is fully functional and operates smoothly and quietly. It has been tested with a full load and turns freely with a single gentle push.
How stable is it on carpet versus hard flooring?
The wide circular base (30 cm diameter) and low centre of gravity make it very stable on hard floors. On deep-pile carpet it may feel very slightly less planted, but the 120 kg top load rating reflects genuine structural solidity.
