The US shelf isn't fitted for blu-ray cases on every shelf. I own one, and it's fugly and non-uniform when I try it.

I finally splurged on this shelving unit for my disk collection. Bought the Oskar Atlantic. Thank you Elliot for pointing me in the right direction. It is so great to give the disks come breathing room.

Your shelving display is sublime! My eyes are always drawn to it when watching your videos. I’m happy with my criterion closet but the rest of my collection is on 3 mismatched bookshelves. I am so very jealous of your wonderful setup!

I prefer cabinets that lock: 1) Extreme protection from sunlight, dust 2) Can hide titles for privacy 3) Can lock, if desired, for security. Check it: Atlin Designs 64" H Modern Wood Large Style Deluxe Media Cabinet with 2 Doors & Key Lock

Hi Elliot just wanted to say thank you for this video! I have just bought a new house and needed shelves for my blu ray collection! These will be getting ordered very soon! Thank you again! :)

I also love these shelves! I have 3 of the smaller ones with only 2 columns of sections and they have been great

Just a note US buyers, the Oskar Atlantic and Lilyvale are different shelves. Lillyvale seems to be better. Oskar atlantic has the blurays stick out over the edge a bit.

Hi Elliot, I have these shelves too, and looked long and hard at various shelves before purchasing these. I use them for cds, dvds and blurays. As you say they are excellent from a sizing perspective and build quality. Wants not to like. Just started watching your channel in the last couple of weeks and i'm very impressed. Peace Andy H

Have 3 of these shelves, 2 for Blu-rays and 1 for CDs, and they're definitely recommended. If I could change one thing, it would be to make the pegs flat on one side so they were flush with the shelf. They get in the way with those boxsets that are slightly taller than regular cases. Apart from that, perfect 👌

Bought these shelves using your link. Really happy with them so Thank you for the recommendation.

Those are fantastic shelves! I never knew they existed so thanks for the info. Great collection by the way.

The shelving unit arrived with supersonic speed and I have just finished assembling it. I’m not a DIY expert and it was a bit fiddly but didn’t take me long. It seems pretty robust and looks good. I got the black one that can hold 528 DVD’s so I will be mixing DVD and Blu-ray’s in. Now for the best part where I get to scoop the stacks of discs up off the floor and curate them on the shelves. Thanks for making the video Elliot.

Thanks so much for making this video! It has been a tremendous help. I have been searching for just the right storage solution and this is it!!!!!

I custom build my own media shelves. I still think that's the best solution, at least for me, because by doing that there's no compromise involved. When looking for shelves I would always find a couple of things I didn't like or design features that were not ideal for my purpose, so I decided to go the DIY route. I added all the things I wanted to the design and I made the shelves floor-to-ceiling, so there's room for so many movies. There's some woodworking and painting involved, but if you are crafty enough you can get some good results (and save some money, too)

Wow! You have an amazing collection!! Thanks for sharing this. I'm going to get them for my room :)

Absolutely brilliant video, thank you so much, I have been watching your videos for a while now so envious of your shelving. You sir are an absolute legend. I just have to rearrange some picture frames to get the height. 👍👊

I’m very happy with my BR/DVD shelves, but yours are my target from now on as they are the best in the KZread game. it's like a classic books library showing how cultured you are ;). I just wished they go until the ceiling to be absolutely perfect !

Definitely agree with you. I just purchased one for my cd/dvd/blue ray collection and as you said they are perfect. I will buy a second one.

I am 100% going to buy these. Thank you so much!

Great video! Very helpful, especially as I am trying to figure out some storage issues with my movie collection. Thank you so much.

I have these same shelves and they are perfect for my collection!

Really appreciate this, as I had been using the thin Benno/Gnedby units from IKEA, and they don’t make them anymore, so I will be getting this obviously better alternative. Thank you and I’m in!

Glad to come across this. Good to get a recommendation. Thanks for the tips.

Hi Elliot! These shelves look very nice! I currently have Ikea Billy shelves currently and I agree the overhang is a bit extreme. But I will say for my current living situation it works out well because I can stack blu-rays two deep so that I don't have to buy more shelves until I move!!

Great video. 👍 10 years ago, I came across some 5/8" thick, 8" deep, 2ft and 4ft white melanine laminated boards at a local Lowes hardware store. I bought a bunch of these boards to make (4) 24"x48" shelf units which I stacked as 2 stacks floor to ceiling for all our DVDs. Recently, I decided to remodel our family room and redo these shelves into a single 15ft, 2Ft high wall unit direct under a wall that holds my projector screen, finished off with a 15ftx12"x2" thick mantle from left over Pergo laminated floor over 2" high density foam base. The result is outstanding, and my DVDs look flush with a bit of front shelf gap, but similar to your video, except mine looks like a custom cabinet and I have my sound bar right on top of the mantle.

Great breakdown of your setup Elliot! If I hadn't built my own shelves, this is absolutely what I'd buy. Especially for someone who has maybe a little too much in their collection 😅 Great stuff my friend.

Great video Elliot, thank you. Shelves now on the shopping list. Need to declutter the attic next! OT, hoping that certain Kubrick film comes out on 4k at some point (if only to please you). You can certainly spend my money, recently upgraded to an Oppo 203 so I can get my Criterion A's.

These are the perfect depth, indeed! I'm looking at precisely the Billy shelves as well, because I can't have those you linked shipped to me. Other than about 10cm of extra depth, it satisfies other requirements, like similarly adjustable height of shelves throughout, and iKea sells extra shelves separately. Plus it can have glass doors, which seems necessary in my environment 'cause of excessive dust. I thought I'd just place some editions, and boxsets, in front of the rows for display.

Great storage units got two of them in black for my collection 😎👍

Currently using Ikea Billy - the extra depth is annoying, but they have one massive plus point for me - timber and glass doors on the front. I live in a Queenslander (timber house, designed to basically leave all the doors and windows open for about 8 months a year), so the doors make managing the dust so much easier. Would love a version of your shelves that could have doors...

I have been using a couple of Billy bookcases with extra shelves for years. The extra depth space is annoying, but I do use them for a few other items on the top and bottom shelves which make up for it.

I came across your video and was curious as to what you consider to be the perfect shelves. I was surprised and delighted to find out that we both have the same favorite shelving unit! These are THE BEST for all types of films. I have four of these units with mostly blu-rays and 4k films as well, but they even hold the occasional rare VHS incredibly well also.

Excelente. Muchas gracias por el video. Saludos desde Costa Rica 🇨🇷

Did you use wood glue when assembling ? I noticed that they recommended this on Amazon

This is beautiful.

Did you customize the shelf holes, or was that a standard configuration? I just bought this off Amazon US, but I can only get eight rows of shelves, not ten.

Hey Elliot, Just a quick question. I noticed you litterally collect all releases by ..as an example..Criterion. Do you just collect them because of the art of you litterally like every film theve released? I only buy the titles i actually like.

@ElliotCoen

3 жыл бұрын

Hey, good question! Yes, of the labels I enjoy and want to support, I will buy anything released by them. The majority of my film discoveries come through Blu-ray collecting, so each new release from Criterion, for example, could be one of my new favourite films. And I just want to financially support these great companies. Taking a gamble on an obscure Criterion disc could lead to more interesting and experimental release from Criterion down the line. I hope that helps!

Thank You for this post. This is very helpful for me in trying to figure out what storage system to use. M K

Thanks for sharing this. The space efficiency is a big draw but I have a couple of reservations: The “wood” you speak of is particle board. It is brittle and if struck on an edge or corner will mushroom and cannot be repaired. Furniture made of particle board cannot survive being moved more than a couple times before it falls apart. It’s flimsy, disposable trash. Also formaldehyde, a carcinogen, is used to hold the wood particles together . The foot at the base, there for balance I gather, is also extremely ugly. But I’m inspired to make something of similar dimensions from quality materials.

These aren't currently available, what should I buy instead that's similar?

Do you get given a specific amount of actual shelves? If you were storing, say, CDs, would you run out of shelves as they are smaller to store? Or if you were storing DVDs, would that mean you could have un-used shelves left over as they require less room?
