How do you display your SteelBooks™? - Blu-ray Forum

American Baron · 03-08-2009, 06:13 PM

Hey all!!

As of now I have my Steelbooks bagged up un Polysleeves and shelved. I'm thinking about getting a Rack so I can display them. Thinking about made me curious how you guys display your Collections (if at all). I saw some Pics where some users have them on some sort of stand?? WHERE DO YOU GET THOSE??

So what are YOUR takes on the Subject?

I was wondering how people had stands, and it turns out it's actually plate holders.

tiger_qc · 03-08-2009, 06:53 PM

I display my Steelbooks alphabetically from 0 to Z

My Stand is homemade and stands on top of my TV, it is the pride of my collection

jw · 03-08-2009, 07:23 PM

i would worry that shelf would collapse

jw · 03-08-2009, 07:30 PM

These are cool, they run about 9 bucks shipped

It won't, believe me!
I'm a carpenter and it's made of wood and fixed with more than enough screws.

I could sit on it if it wasn't so close of the ceilling!

I really like the quality of your work !
I've got my TV on an Ikea worktable I modified to hold all my units - yet be airy. The TV is a bit over 3 feet in the air, gives me a theatre experience. My DVDs & BDs are within books - holding 40 to 96 discs in each - alphabetized and on shelves.

Wow! That's a bit more than I would want to spend. I was browsing eBay and saw these:

http://cgi.ebay.de/10-X-TELLERSTANDE...1%7C240%3A1318

That's 10 for 6.90 Euros, which isn't too bad I suppose.

What do you think?

I am using a picture frame "rail" from IKEA for now to display a few of my steelies in my home office. The steelbooks rest on the ledge ("rail") and lean against the wall. The picture rail ledge is between 3 or 4 inches wide (coming out from the wall) with a lip on the edge to keep picture frames (or in my case, steelbooks) from falling off the ledge. It is about 30-inches wide which holds five steelbooks on each ledge. I have steelies stacked three-deep for now and I rotate the steelbooks so I get to see different covers on a regular basis.

I currently have only one ledge to work with. There are 5 others lined up below the top ledge, but the distance between the rails is set at a height to accommodate my amusement park shot glass collection (I have lots f them).

I need to go back to IKEA to get more picture frame ledges. I don't remember the price, but I believe the wooden rails are between $5 and $10 each. When in stock, IKEA has white painted and natural wood picture rails. IKEA also has metal (aluminum) rails, but they cost more (over $10 each). The rails are pre-drilled and simply screw into the wall (I used anchors so the rails do not pull out of the drywall and fall to the floor).

Speaking of IKEA, I have four Billy bookcases side by side along the back wall of the living room. They are about 79-inches tall by about 33 inches wide and contain eight shelves each, 11 inches deep. I placed a light on the top of each bookcase which illuminates the shelf below (perfect for top shelf displays). These four Billy bookcases are home to my entire oldray DVD and Blu-ray movie collection. I have the two rear surround speakers on top of the bookcases on each end corner. Note: IKEA sells optional doors for the Billy bookcase system.

I will try to find time to take a photo and post it in the Home Theater Gallery to show the IKEA picture rails and the Billy bookcases.

Just tease us with your brilliant ideas-and then don't post photos! LOL

Minimejer05 · 03-08-2009, 10:51 PM

I just have them in with my other blu rays.

I have these!

They are perfect and not expensive at all!

digitalbabe · 03-10-2009, 03:56 PM

Dandees-LOL! I don't yet display mine (I have 300+ BD's, but not enough Steels to warrant a shelf), but my girlfriend recently suggested the picture frame ledges. If anyone wanted to paint them, to match the decor of their room, they are raw wood, so you can "customize" them, if you wish. A very good solution, IMHO.
