This storage rack is currently 59.99 on BB website. Not available for shipping. Store pick-up only. I currently have 6 shelves for dvds and blurays. This holds an amazing amount for the price. I will advise on my experience putting it up and such. 4 of the others I have are Sauder that are 49.00 on amazon and walmart site. They hold around 320 each. This new one claims to hold over 600 dvds and blus.

So I'm trying to find a shelf that holds up to 800 dvds, or something close does anybody know of such a thing? Thanks!

i got one that holds close to 600,,granted it not 800,,but pretty close.
In regards to storing steelbooks,anyone know if there's somthing out there to stop them from rubbing next to each other but at the same time stored with their spines showing?

Personally what I recently had to do was customize some Billy Bookcase from Ikea, with glass doors. I bought a peg hole guider to add additional holes, so I could do 8 shelves instead of the standard 6. Then I got glass shelves to make it look really amazing. They hold somewhere around 500 blu-rays each unit.



They stack up nicely with each other, and can be used for other things too.



These aren't my pics, I haven't had a chance yet to add my own pictures, but the units look amazing in person and price wise are pretty cheap.

^ That, in my opinion, is EPIC!

I have a rack plus an expansion kit from Boltz. Bought it back during my DVD days and expanded when I got into blu ray. A little pricey, but will last you forever, and can expand them as wide as you have room for.

I'm not home at the moment but I can post some pictures later tonight.

Im 3 shelves away from filling up my Atlantic Oskar media tower (one that hold 570+ BDs).
Picked it up last year for a grand total of $25.00 ,due to the box missing all the hardware,which i called the company and they were more than happy to send me some replacement ones.
Anyways these do cost approx 150,and saw the Atlantic Elite,which holds approx 630 bds.,and is only $99
Just wondering if anyone owns the Elite and has any comments ,gripes or should i stay with the oskar ?

I know some people swear by them... I purchased one and the first piece I pulled from the box snapped in half because it was so thin. It was one of the sides too... Returned it the next day and i'm currently seeking a better storage solution.

I'm at the point where I'm just going to home depot and buying wood then having it cut so that I can build my own shelf. Found several online tutorials and the wood itself is only $3.33 per foot of 1x6x? Oak (You could get it custom cut and the length didn't matter). Pine was about $6 and Poplar was about $2.

I'd have purchased the wood and started today but their saw malfunctioned and wouldn't cut evenly or accurately. Everything ended up at a slant and at least 1/4th an inch off.

that is such a bummer!

I bought some shelving units off of Amazon last year that are working perfectly for me. My hubby put them together with zero problems and they are holding up. The smaller one is holding about 500 dvds and is halfway filled. My larger one is also halfway full and has over 650 blurays and boxsets. I estimate that it has the potential to hold about 1200 blurays when it's filled. I will post pics here in a bit when my baby goes to sleep

Bazinga!

Would you mind sharing the online tutorials you came across? I'm looking to get a house pretty soon and also need to expand my shelving since I'm already at max capacity. I'd like to just build my own unit if possible.

direct wall shelving is the way to go on rails. works like a charm, is low profile and looks nice

Just gone custom.

Got a guy to make to my specs. I went for 2 units. 10 Shelves on each. Very little gap between blu's and next shelf. Just enough for those Steel Books. Both designed to fit in a dedicated space. Go from floor to as close as I could get to the ceiling. Pleased with the result.
