Movie shelf advise - Blu-ray Forum

Today my shelf collapsed so I'm looking for something that is sturdy and could hold about 400 to 500 movies preferably not metal.

I have mine on 2 book shelves I have had for over 20 years . I am sure you could Google & find all kinds of shelves . Or I am sure Furniture stores could possibly have some real nice ones .

Can you build something?

Anthony P · 03-21-2010, 07:56 PM

I built my own, got 4 1"x8"x10' pine cut them at the store (ended up 2x7.5, 10x2.5), a 1/2"x3" (2.5) for a kick board and 44 L brackets and screws, since I did nnot want a back I also got 4 flat L (corners) and two T (middle). Tinted the wood, screwed the L to the side boards (for each shelf) screwed in the middle top and bottom shelves, then the base and then the flat L and T. then put it in the place and added the other shelves (did not screw them in).

A bit more expensive then the cheap premade stuff, but it is strong, shelves can be moved and there are more shelves then a regular bookcase would have

I'm really considering it as it would be the most sturdy and definitely cheaper

I know my pictures suck...... but here is what I did...... it happened to be PERFECT for my space to just 8' standard lengths..... I got the 'good' quality red-oak so it is pretty heavy etc....and I painted it anyways, but painted the brackets underneath so you can't see them either. I planed the front so it's a "rounded" look... but that's not necessary.

I obviously have room for "expansion"

You can get two of these from Ikea at $100 a pop. They work great and will hold 200 Blu's each.

Since the shelves are adjustable, that would be really cool for collectibles as well, especially with the light fixture on top.

There is also the Billy series from IKEA several people have them on this site. There are a lot of options you can get including, doors, colors, corner pieces, entertainment center.

I built mine as well. Much cheaper that way. Pics are in my gallery. Holds up to 1,500(cost was 110.00).
