Shelving Suggestions?
larryinc64:
It has happened, I'm out of shelf space.
Right now I have 3 identical wobbly shelfs full of games and full of figures on the top.
My shelfs are fairly short and the only way to go is up. I was thinking of building some myself, and though I do have the skills, I do not have the resources or the time as I am going to collage in a month. So I began digging around, I want something like this:

I hear this used to be good, but they changed it and made it crap.
I was thinking of just getting one or two, mostly to compress my collection and have all my figures in one place.
I have overall:
90 loose NES carts
150 loose Famicom carts
100 UGCs
220 DVDS
130 DS Cases
30 CD Cases
50+ figures
And space for shelves slightly over 30" wide. I can't drill supporters into the walls, they are made of plaster.
Anyone know any good, sturdy solutions?
e_brugal:
can you put two of those 3 shelves one in top of the other and secure them?
you'll have more space for another one
TAFK:
If you can only go up perhaps floating shelves? I know you said the walls are made of plaster but surely there are some locations you can have higher floating shelving?

You can buy this.. But I would put it together with wood glue.
A nice tip is to also drill holes just below where the shelves sit and get some of those cabinet shelf pegs to support it. The more stuff you put on it, the more it will sag.

Ohh, and if you can.. see if you can locate a store like this! They actually have AMAZING prices and usually do 20% off for me..

I bought 6 foot high CD/DVD shelves from them.. Cost me 100 or so each, but they are REAL WOOD. You can even get them painted typically.. Search for "Unfinished Furniture" in your area...
