Thanks mate!

It wasn't easy to get them to look like that. They normally come with only 6 shelves, so to get 8, I had to measure everything out and drill holes in order to get them all lined up perfectly. And when that was done, they were too deep for DVD's so I had to measure and cut out bits of cardboard to fit behind the DVD's in order for everything to sit nicely like it does.

But it was totally worth it. Love the way they look!

So do I -- it would be great if I could display mine like that but I just don't have the room which is why all my DVDs and BDs are in storage cases or CD/DVD wallets.

Those look really impressive and you'll probably have no shortage of appreciative comments from friends and family members.

Thanks! And that is a shame..

My parents first words were "Bloody hell! You have too many of the damn things." Haha, no such thing

I was just about to ask you which Ikea shelf set that was as the only one I have seen (which I have) leaves quite big spaces between the shelves and if you were able to move each shelf up a bit you'd end up with at least a new row. Looks like you have the same shelf as me and I'll have aa bit of DIY myself to make the most of the space

Yeah, it's the Billy shelf. it's quite easy to fit 2 extra shelves in there if you're only using it for DVD's. They fit perfectly!
