You Don’t Need Expensive Shelving for Physical Media  

Same here. I didn't know they would sell just a extra shelf. I need one. Thanks

We did the Billy bookcases as well especially in our book room. They are super economical for what they hold.

@@alandeniston9229, yes, aside from extra wooden Billy shelves for a bookcase, one can also buy glass shelving for a different look. One can also buy extra Billy extension units to put on top of one's existing Billy bookcases if one has the extra height available, so there are quite a few shelving choices for Billy bookcases. :)

@@timtalkstalkies, yes, Billy bookcases are still an excellent value and are very substantially built, so they don't feel cheap or like they'll fall apart. They're built to last.

Very true. I’ve done the binder thing in the past when I lived in my apartment. Once this is all setup I plan to use the back part of the double deep for the things I don’t care quite as much about…out of sight but accessible.

Haha you’re not wrong. I’m ok with it here because I honestly don’t feel like something such as that modern shelving solution is better. I’ve run through about all the put togethers possible and spent thousands. Only real step that would be a huge improvement is legitimately hiring a carpenter for customs all around. We’re talking a $7k to $10k job at that point which yeah I’m not comfortable with that. Played wise I totally agree, but I never cheaped out there….using a UB820. Believe me I’ve spent many many hours researching shelving and the Legitimate only solution id rather at the moment is full on customs by a professional carpenter…maybe some day in the future but not now.

Yesish…new curtains are going up and a curtain was there. That window though is sometimes open sometimes not. I have a garage and huge ass hedge outside that blocks a ton of direct sunlight. The wall shown in this video was a wall of steelbooks for awhile and the sun angle never actually hit that wall and I’ve experienced no fading. Like I said it’s only open sometimes kinda dependent on the situation.

Cost doesn’t always equal better for sure. It’s crazy how much those expensive modern shelvings keep showing on my IG and Facebook feeds.

@@timtalkstalkies can’t say it any better then that great video sir

Are you talking about on top of the spinner behind Tim? That's Dobby the house elf from Harry Potter. Pretty sure I saw a life-sized Mac walking around the rough part of town last week.

Haha I wish it was a life size Mac. It’s a Dobby statue though.

Yeah it’s not for everyone and I get that. I tried sticking to the prefab stuff as long as possible, but I wasn’t utilizing space like I wanted to anymore with them.

I don’t think too many people make spinners to be honest. The spinners I have are form a company called Prepac though and they are really good and hold a bunch. They are pricey though in the $200-250 range each.

@@timtalkstalkies I noticed that. Just wanted to make sure I didn't miss any other options. Would love to do custom shelves but my den has the old school panel walls which I love but I don't want to hang anything too load bearing on it. Thanks for your time.

Those prefabs only carry someone so far before you outgrow them.

They come out 16 inches total.

Fair enough…doesn’t work for everyone and their tastes. Personally I prefer the extra space overall.
