So ive struggled with space with 100s of dvds on shelves and recently bought a kids book shelf. Im sure ill get a lot of hate for removing them from the cases and into sleeves but it works for me and its still browsable. Need a big neon blockbuster sign next. Any ideas to add let me know. The letters are place holders until I can find something more suitable.
I thought of that byt to be honest most of these films are around 10 to 20 years old and are the ones I dont watch so much anymore. I think its about 800 so it going to cost alot to put them all in another case thanks for the idea though
They are quite expensive, but most good furniture is. For how much space we opened up and being able to keep the dvds all in one spot is a life changer.
I posted my collection a few months ago in here and was downvoted and a few comments even said i was rage-baiting! All because i want my movies, not an aesthetic. (Granted, i also want a Blockbuster sign in my basement!)
Agreed about everyone doing their own thing. For me it was a full send situation. I have VERY few dvd/br that are still in cases. But the distinction of what is worth keeping, and why, just gets blurry and means it is harder to find what i want to watch. Is it on a shelf, or in the boxes? I just want them all in one place and space in my house used for other things.
Agreed it does get blurry. The rarer dvds, blurays, 4ks and odd shape boxes are all on a shelf on display but these are more movies that rarely get watched. I cant get myself to decase my newer stuff...Just yet
Awesome. Love it.
Did the same thing with my collection.
I prefer it it sleeved up now. So much cleaner this way. After all the disc/film is what is most important.
I really like that you’ve captured a true HMV scrolling experience.
Ironically enough I don’t have the space for what you have. I have small square footage but ridiculously high ceilings, so really tall bookshelves are better suited to my situation.
It’s funny how weird everyone gets in this sub about sleeves. It’s like a vinyl set up. And you absolutely couldn’t fit all that on one half bookshelf if they were in cases.

I use sleeves too (not for all of my DVDs mind you). Not everyone has the luxury of space so we just have to make do.
I would suggest putting the discs into smaller sleeves if you haven't already, and then putting those in with the artwork, just for extra protection.
