In the gaming tables thread, the topic of bookshelves came up, something near and dear to die hard gamers.
So I thought I'd open this thread to contrast my existing bookshelves, and as long as we are here, feel free to share your own experiences.
I have 4 bookshelves that house gaming stuff of one sort or another.
At our old house, I kept many of my books in a built-in bookshelf. After we moved that wasn't an option, so thus began my recent accumulation of bookshelves.
The first bookshelf I got after I moved was this one, a five shelf bookshelf which sits in my walk-in closet. As you can see, the shelves are beginning to bow under the weight of gaming books.
Last years ennies left me needing to do lots of bedtime reading, so I got the second shelf to sit by my bed.
I was keeping much of my collection in plastic crates stacked on storage shelves. When I saw the first shelf beginning to bow, I got the third shelf from staples opting for thicker shelves. However, the bookshelf doesn't list a higher weight limit than the first one, so I worry the shelves will bow. One of the middle shelves is not easily pulled out; you can see on this shelf I have stacked the lighter boxed sets.
Finally, I got the last bookshelf I got from IKEA. A little out of my way, but it seems much more ideal a gaming bookshelf. It's 6' x 6' (perhaps it doesn't show since the images are the same size, but it's a bit bigger than the others. It's as tall as the two taller ones, but is also as wide as it is tall. As you can see, I haven't even filled it up yet.)
