Abstract
A storage rack for thin flat objects such as CD's, DVD's and the like has multi-lobe “flower-like” pieces which may be stacked for rotation or non-rotation relative to each other. Each flower typically comprises three radially-directed lobes. Each lobe is divided into an outer portion to support an object, and a smaller inner portion for exerting downward pressure against the flat object and hold it in place. The lobes are positioned so that adjacent levels of lobes are radially displaced for viewing objects on underlying lobes.
