Disc storage cabinets are rarer than the music boxes they support due to the premium charged. The retail price of this base cabinet was on the order of $30, almost half the price of the music box when an ordinary table could be had for $3. That being said, the open space design of this cabinet style helps project the sound from the bottom of the music box. Also, the sixteen wooden partitions are particularly helpful for a larger disc library.
