A modular storage rack for CD jewel boxes, or the like, comprising individual tray units that are stackable vertically and connectable laterally. The tray itself has no moving parts but only a ribbon spring which acts to both secure the jewel box when inserted and eject the same when retrieval is desired. Release of the jewel box is obtained by inward pressure against the spring and rotation of the box about a fulcrum on one of the tray walls, permitting the spring to urge the box out of the tray.
