Movie Shelving Happiness

Submitted by Morbus Iff on Mon, 2003-09-22 21:21

For many many moons, I've been searching for a new movie shelving system for my extensive collection of horror movies (now exceeding 600 DVDs and tapes). My current scheme, using cheap-ass Wal-mart bookcases with movies stacked horizontally and not vertically (i.e. "spine up"), was simply becoming far too cumbersome from an organizational standpoint, and I needed something new, fast.

I finally felt I had found "the one" over at MediaCases.com (product #20922): it was wood not wireframe, perfectly sized for DVDs or tapes, affordable even with prohibitive shipping costs, and was large enough to not get filled within a few months. I ordered one (actually, a product not yet on their site, but very similar to #20922), received and built it last Friday, and came to a happy conclusion early Saturday. Thus, customer testimony:

Media Cases,

No one person should get as excited as I when I knew my new Media Cases movie shelves was coming on Friday, but a'twitter I was, counting down the minutes until I could get home and begin assembling. So anxious was I to see if it was the shelving system of my dreams, I forgot to have supper. I didn't notice until I was scarfing down breakfast the next morning.

Four hours into assembly, with my blistered baby-soft hands suffering from the insanity of screwing everything manually (power tools be damn'd!), I begin putting the pieces together one by one. This was my first happiness: the unit is easily disassembled, and thus, easily movable.

10 minutes later, the behemoth was placed into position, and I reeled: this certainly was shaping up to be the shelving scheme I had always wanted, and I started transitioning DVDs over: 81 DVDs per shelf, or roughly 720 DVD capacity, spine up. Excellent!

Yes, perfect shelving system it was, and I've plans to buy at least one more within a few months. This is excellent stuff, and I've very happy with it.

Granted, I don't expect more than two of my readers to need movie capacity of similar girth, but hey, I'm a happy customer, finally satisifed with my movie organization.
