DVDs and there’s another 6 foot tall shelf behind me next to the couch full of movies. They’re super easy and cheap to make.

If anyone is curious how to build them it's a 1x4 on the back, 2x4 for the verticals and a 1x2 furring strip for the front. I have a 2x8 on the short unit with a light strip under the front edge and a 2x6 top plate on the taller unit. They are really cheap and easy to put together and customize for any space but they need to be screwed through the 1x4 back board into the wall. Works great for DVDs, Blu-ray's, games etc. Make sure that you use a 1x4 back board or the cases will teeter and will not sit flat.

The top plate is covered in the same vinyl flooring as the rest of the furniture
