[QUOTE="Jahydin, post: 8993890, member: 6984869"] This scenario is all to familiar... I have an entire wall made from [URL='https://www.amazon.com/SONGMICS-Storage-Organizer-Bookcase-ULSN63H/dp/B01GDR3HHG/ref=sr_1_23?crid=3NSDUMYMY5O83&keywords=cube%2Bstorage%2Brack&qid=1681679022&s=home-garden&sprefix=cube%2Bstorage%2Brack%2Cgarden%2C182&sr=1-23&th=1']cube storage racks[/URL] in my game room and I [B]still [/B]have to cut books to make room.
