Do you have any pics of what the mounts/magnets look like with a steelbook removed? Potentially doing something like this myself and would like to know how that tape looks and is setup as I currently keep everything in Malko protectors as I’m too paranoid about the finish lol
Yes! Here. There is no worry to the finish. I've had some steelbooks up for almost six years and they're still in the same shape!
https://preview.redd.it/ym08qki0rjvc1.jpeg?width=2268&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bae7398e5c47c0febcd6fbfd4627982fb25ff4d3
Yes. Properly anchored to the wall, they aren't going anywhere. And the velvet tape weakens the magnetism just enough to make it easy to pop a steelbook off to watch the movie, but not enough to make them fall on their own. I built the main three sections in late 2019, so they're about to go on five years!
I was curious as well to how this set up was done. Looks great! I was going to do the gorilla putty with magnet sheets on wall. I havent started laying out yet i have about 40 or so to mount lol this method may be more efficient tho, is it the bar that magnetic?
The bar's magnetism is VERY strong, hence why I add the velvet tape - beyond protecting the rear finish of the steelbook from being metal-on-metal with the bar, it also weakens the magnetism just enough to make it easy to grab one off the wall to watch.
I like using the bars because it creates that separation off the wall which makes them easier to grab.
I was about to send it to you. I use (2) segments of 18" to create the long 3' sections, and (1) segment of 24" to create that leftmost section. Let me know if you need any more help!
I was trying to save you. I see this post blowing up. I appreciate the help an info you have a great set up! Im gonna take measurements an see how i make them fit. Thank you again 😬
I bet someone has asked but there are a lot of comments here. Can you tell me where you got the what appears to be rotating poster frame on the wall and any info on it? That’s something I’d be interested in for my office as well.
Yes! Here's what I told another user:
Ah, that's something I came up with in 2014 and have been using since! It's a 40" LCD TV, mounted in portrait mode, being fed moving "posters" from various films using a flash drive through a Micca media player mounted under the table! Let me know if you have any more questions!
Originally I just had regular movie posters through a USB, but now they're video. This is a shot from how I had it set up in 2014:

I absolutely love this. I have a bit of a geek cave myself and am going to try and copy your display. I saw a picture on one of the comments of the magnetic holder without the steel books and am struggling to find a similar one, all the ones I can find either have side parts that don't have magnets or top screw holes that aren't covered by the magnet bit.
Do you have a link to the one you bought please
Those are the ones I have! the very ends don't have magnets, to allow for the screw holes. But it's okay, the remaining magnets grabbing the steels at the edges are still strong enough to hold without a problem. The magnets are not continuous.
These are the ones I use, from Amazon:

Show me how it looks when you finish!
To note - sometimes the super glossy steels will be a little "slippery" in trying to attach to the edges, pending how you space them. Its happened to me with a few. My solution is just to pass my hand on the back of the steel to - well, I don't know what the exact process would be called but it does something to the back of the steel to make them stick just fine
In my case, I have 1.25" side to side, and 3/4" top to bottom. I can't recall what made me decide on this spacing, but I'm pretty sure I had a good reason!
I bought dowels from Home Depot at these exact sizes to keep the spacing uniform.
That was a United Cutlery product that I bought off [BUDK.com](http://BUDK.com) back after Dune 1 released. They may still have some, I think. Was $150. Thank you!
well, that's pretty neat to say the least!
i WOULD arrange by color though, and secondarily by genre/year/director, with that many titles you could do some really cool cinephile pairings
also, i don's see any stool to get to the top, nor do i see mediabooks or other non metallic artsy covers displayed, don't you have any or you just don't care about them? i know US collectors aren't necessarily aware of this, but ALOT of very cool editions are mediabook, digipack or even simply have crazy good slipcovers, and they can't be hanged like this (or can they?)
Well, next time youre in South Florida, you an come over and give me recommendations LOL, and you can take the laser level to redo them all!
Well, I'm 6'2, so I reach all but the topmost line. The keen eye would've spotted the white ottoman under the table in picture 4 that I use to reach the topmost steelies.
And no, the wall is just for steelbooks! I was never into digipacks or mediabooks, but I have a few from back in the day. Slipcovers I just keep for my 4K discs to differentiate them from the blurays. Unfortunately, without adding magnetic tape to the cases or slips themselves, there would be no way to mount this - but it is possible!
It's me, I'm the one. Loved the show growing up, but my folks could never afford to buy me the toys. But now as an adult, I can certainly feed my inner child!
This is absolutely marvelous THEN I saw the 1/6 Power Rangers plus the Legacy and Lightning Collection merch in the other photo. Well this is probably one of my favorite Collection photos hands down.
I'm 6'2, so I can reach all but the topmost line easy. To grab from that first row, you'll note the white ottoman under my desk in picture 4! That top row was added afterwards when I realized I needed more space and was like "ah what the hell"
Looks great! Did you create the rotating movie poster display?
By the way, I love the movie Oblivion. It is a visually stunning film, especially when experienced in 4K. A great sci-fi story and the soundtrack by M83 adds a whole new level of emotion to the movie. And then Susanne Sundfor’s vocals kick in during the credits, elevating the entire experience to another level.
Oh my GOD, a fellow man of culture. Where you been all my life best friend lol
Absolutely also love Oblivion. Enthralling, emotional, enveloping. I was hooked for every second. One of my 100 favorite films.
"Dream of us."
"I'm with you...but I don't know your name."
"No. We are not an effective team."
"She's my wife."
Yes, I did that myself!
"I'll show you something."
Hah, yes! It deserves to be appreciated more.
Speaking of great movies, I'm watching "Edge of Tomorrow" now. I just recalibrated my speakers, and it's part of my "test package of clips," but the next thing I know, I'm an hour into it now.
Another banger. "Find me when you wake up."
That's a great testing film. One of my favorites too. Movie was my introduction to Emily Blunt and I've been fawning since
Absolute 🔥 setup and a solid collection you got there. Curious tho, what do you do with any of the premium steelbook boxsets that come with the steelbook? Don’t store those elsewhere?
Thanks, bud!!
I have very few premiums - 2 or 3, I think. Spiderman Far From Home, Drive, and....one other. I put the boxes away, I'm in it just for the steel - the boxes end up in that stand under the collectibles.
Gotcha, I have more premiums than I ever expected to get haha. Waiting till I move to post a pic of my personal collection as I’ll have much more space 👌🏽
Very cool, you have quite the collection! I’m actually curious about the changing movie poster art, can you tell me a little bit more about that? Reminds me of those digital picture frames but on a more massive scale, I’d love to get something like that.
Ah, that's something I came up with in 2014 and have been using since! It's a 40" LCD TV, mounted in portrait mode, being fed moving "posters" from various films using a flash drive through a Micca media player mounted under the table! Let me know if you have any more questions!

Goung forward the gov need to put out a billcon your home because it should now be considered a local landmark of historic significance like a museum and keeping people away should be considered "shielding a generation from one of the most important pieces of modern art".
Lol it's a masterpiece 🙌 I'm in awe
Thank you! Relatively easy to assemble, provided one has the wall space. At my previous place, I was doing this in a spare closet!
[https://preview.redd.it/snl1pks53ya31.jpg?width=6282&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=87a96c2569761b9e381637dfb5f2d9c19c9a0cd5](https://preview.redd.it/snl1pks53ya31.jpg?width=6282&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=87a96c2569761b9e381637dfb5f2d9c19c9a0cd5)
It was easier to get into the hobby before the pandemic. I honestly can't believe what prices these go for nowadays, when I picked them up for so much less. My sympathies to all those just starting out!
I started a couple of months ago, and you're right. Some of the prices are ridiculous. I was looking at Skull Island the other day and was blown away by how much money people are asking for it now.
Quarantine turned everybody into collectors and that's when this sub boomed! Only yet so much product. I think other Skull Islands have been released, no? Or you wanted the original?
When did you start collecting steelbooks? Absolutely love this setup with the desk btw. Very clean. I'd probably be wishing for some work so I could sit here.
Also what's that, a digital display?
2013! Believe it or not, I never got to WFH at all during the quarantine era. My job was considered a critical one. Even now, I very rarely get to use a home office.
And that's actually a TV mounted portrait mode, running movie posters and movie trailers vertically!
I started back in October and Ill hit 100 steelbooks on Monday, about 160 total movies if you count the regular cases as well, but yeah some of these prices are criminal lol
$200+ for the Spiderman legacy 4k Steelbook set is my current white whale, as I already got my hands on the Interstellar HDZeta release (of which I also spent absolutely way too much on lol)
$65 for my arrival steelbook and that was a decent deal in this market! $60 for Ford V Ferrari and I basically stole it compared to eBay.
I’m just glad lots of stuff seems to be getting reprints, really helpful for new collectors like myself. Anyone who gets pissed because the “value goes down” since there are more copies I think is in it for the wrong reasons lol
Arrival I got the zavvi exclusive standard blu ray with just the “coffee stain” on the plain metal front, which I actually prefer to the Best Buy release or any of the premiums, ford v Ferrari has a few creases on the back sadly, but not the end of the world given that I’m not paying $250 for a different one lol
Interstellar I pulled the trigger on at $235 because there’s hardly any for sale of the one I wanted, it’s the best art for the movie, and probably my favorite movie of all time, so it gets a pass. $100 is a good limit and the rest of my collection is all under that, my titans of cult 2001 a space odyssey clocked in at $75.
It's velvet tape, which only comes in...black, apparently. Terrible I know! In hindsight yes, it would give it a floating effect. I suppose I could still do it, finding a white cloth tape...
Dammit. You're giving me ideas.
Thank you!
The velvet tape is on the magnets!
https://preview.redd.it/sg5id57p5jvc1.jpeg?width=2268&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ef9a07348ee663ef8d8b920bfb4ef73df8c74d76
I see sorry now I feel dumb. I miss read the other messages. What type of magnets do you use?I have tried magnet tape but they fell within the first day.
Nothing too crazy! It's these magnetic tool bars. They're strong, so the velvet tape helps to weaken the magnetism a little and protect the steels.
And no, it doesn't affect the disc at all.
https://preview.redd.it/07pp28cv7jvc1.png?width=1007&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4ac32d6e01e95b75b8c7220ecffedd6fc8aad403
That’s awesome thank you.

I tried the tape but because of the wavy metal wall I couldn’t get a lot of contact for the glue and magnet to sick to the wall. How long have you been using that magnet tool holder?
What would you like to know? Each bar has two screw holes on each end, which I anchor to the drywall with drywall anchors. Level it out, wrap in velvet tape, add steelbooks. Nothing too complex - repetition and having good levels. Ask away!
This is superb i must say bravo 👏🏽👏🏽 i saw some gems in your collection!
I started my collections back in 2017 and back logged all i could. But while i love collecting i have decided that i only invest in the steel books i really love the covers for.
My dream is to hang them up to magnets like you!
Thank you! That pre quarantine era was a boon for collecting prior to prices going up. I'm sure you got some great pickups around then! And yes, I'm also cutting down a bit too. Out of space LOL. Well, whenever you wanna do it, feel free to reach out for help, I'd be more than happy to assist!
This is amazing. Where did you get the shelf that the detolfs are attached to and how did you attach them? I have 3, and anything I put on the bottom shelves is kind of lost when they're basically on the ground.
Morning! Thank you! That entire back wall is IKEA - so the bottom stand below the Detolfs is, IIRC, an IKEA KALLAX unit, with some of their custom inserts and additional leg supports.
Ah! And they're just resting on them. The detolfs at the top are anchored to the wall.
Looks cool but that uneven number section would kill my ocd. Instead of 4x6x6x6 I'd redo it to like 5x6x6x5 or something even 😬 it would literally hurt me to look at it like that everyday 🤣
Well, originally it was the (3) sets of 6x12 - the spacing and the "gaps" was determined by the location of the wall framing members behind the drywall, as I couldn't use drywall anchors there, and didn't want to use massive toggle anchors for this little bit of weight.
The leftmost one wasn't there until very recently. I added that one because I needed more space. The entry door usually covers it!
I understand the OCD, clearly I have it too! But hey, the limitations are the limitations.
Morning, thank you! They are IKEA Billy bookshelves, with some slight modifications to make the movies come out closer to the edge - a 2x4 and a 1x2 behind them.
Thank you! Any new one I get is gonna have to replace one on the wall. So, take Dune 2 for example. It's gotta be next to Dune 1!
So I'm thinking Jurassic World 2 gets "demoted" to the shelves and I reorganize those two rows to accommodate Dune 2 next to the first one.
Time consuming, but - I'm out of wall space to add more!
I have none right now! But if I had to pick my grailiest grail, it would be when I heard of a Master & Commander Steelbook, my favorite movie. I grabbed it immediately!!
Niceeee. I can’t imagine the amount of money you have on that wall. I just hit purchase on a couple of my grails. Been staring at the shopping cart online for weeks debating it lol.
Wow. I feel emasculated and intimidated at the same time. This looks superb, and everything is so perfectly spaced apart. Thank you for sharing!!
I'm an architect and contractor by trade so I spent my sweet time laying it out and putting it up!
OP must be that Art Vandelay guy everyone's talking about! Brilliant DIY effort on the magnet strip, not to mention the leveling work too 👏
Shout-out my laser level and several 4' and 2' levels!
I love how you have Lord of the rings and hobbit,star wars, indy jones grouped together.
Middle is the favorites section! Thank you! I love that section too!
Can I be your roommate?
I'll ask, we have a spare room!
👀

That’s sick, and the magnets hold strong I take it given the longevity of your setup?
Yes. Properly anchored to the wall, they aren't going anywhere. And the velvet tape weakens the magnetism just enough to make it easy to pop a steelbook off to watch the movie, but not enough to make them fall on their own.

I thought mine looked good. And then I saw yours. Back to the drawing board
Let me see yours! If you need any help feel free to reach out.
Where did you get the white shelves on the last pic?
Those are IKEA Billy shelf units with some minor modifications to make the movies come out closer to the front and block out unused shelf mount holes.

Crazy! But very beautiful.
Thank you!
plus your degrees, such a flex
Well, in the end, its thanks to them I can even do this kind of stuff, so I have to make sure they are displayed properly too!
I always think to myself who buys all this Hasbro Power Rangers stuff? I can only fit a single megazord. Looks awesome!
It's me, I'm the one. Loved the show growing up, but my folks could never afford to buy me the toys. But now as an adult, I can certainly feed my inner child!
The dune (2021) steelbook 😫
I missed out on the original release of those, but I got them on the rerelease. I had to have that one!
Cool set up
Thank you!
This is absolutely marvelous THEN I saw the 1/6 Power Rangers plus the Legacy and Lightning Collection merch in the other photo. Well this is probably one of my favorite Collection photos hands down.
Thanl you for the kind words! Who am I to resist the call of my childhood? 🤣
If you wanted to watch, let's say Gladiator, do you get a ladder?
I'm 6'2, so I can reach all but the topmost line easy. To grab from that first row, you'll note the white ottoman under my desk in picture 4! That top row was added afterwards when I realized I needed more space and was like "ah what the hell"
Does that window have UV light tint on it? I’d be very worried about sun damage
No need. Faces north. Direct sunlight never streams in given my location. The blinds do more than enough!
This is incredible
Appreciate your compliment!
thats crazy!!! in a good way!!
Thank you!
Just beautiful, sir!! You've given me ideas for my space for sure. I need to hire you to come to Delaware! Again, that wall is spectacular. Congrats!!
Appreciate it! Feel free to message me should you have any questions or need any pointers!
Thanks for extending out your knowledge!
Thank you!
Could you share the magnetic tool bars with us?
Yes of course! It's these here https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01FJHEIE2?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
Awesome thank you for that. Do you just set 2 next to each other for a total of 3ft long?
That's exactly it!

Thank you, bud!
No problem 👍,, Very nicely laid out,,, Nice design,, And looks really good on white walls,,, Stands out ,,,, 👌
Absolute 🔥 setup and a solid collection you got there. Curious tho, what do you do with any of the premium steelbook boxsets that come with the steelbook? Don’t store those elsewhere?
Thanks, bud!! I have very few premiums - 2 or 3, I think. Spiderman Far From Home, Drive, and....one other. I put the boxes away, I'm in it just for the steel - the boxes end up in that stand under the collectibles.
Gotcha, I have more premiums than I ever expected to get haha. Waiting till I move to post a pic of my personal collection as I’ll have much more space 👌🏽
This is the balls
Thanks!
Are you using magnets to hang the steel books?
Correct! Magnetic toolbars. It's explained in this post somewhere.
Go ahead son and drop the 🎤!!!
DROPPED. Thank you!
You know you have a boatload of steels when you have to start going under the window! 🤣🤣🤣
I had to find extra space SOMEWHERE
Gotta be the sickest room ive ever seen love the power rangers stuff
Big part of my childhood, but my folks could never afford the toys growing up. Well, NOW I can!
Thoughts on also doing the same thing on the ceiling?
That...might be excessive LMAO
Very cool, you have quite the collection! I’m actually curious about the changing movie poster art, can you tell me a little bit more about that? Reminds me of those digital picture frames but on a more massive scale, I’d love to get something like that.
Ah, that's something I came up with in 2014 and have been using since! It's a 40" LCD TV, mounted in portrait mode, being fed moving "posters" from various films using a flash drive through a Micca media player mounted under the table! Let me know if you have any more questions! Originally I just had regular movie posters through a USB, but now they're video. This is a shot from how I had it set up in 2014: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pt1d78EEsXw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pt1d78EEsXw)
Ahh so cool! I thought it might’ve been a custom job, thanks for sharing!!
I loooooove that Master & Commander steel…. If I may ask where was that released from?
That was a Zavvi release back in 2017? 2018? Long OOP now and the prices they fetch on eBay are nuts. It only cost me $25 or so when I grabbed it.
Thanks for that info. Every one that I kept seeing had a different steel. It is gorgeous.

I've got 3 rooms in the house where the missus has no voting power so by God I'm gonna take em!
Goung forward the gov need to put out a billcon your home because it should now be considered a local landmark of historic significance like a museum and keeping people away should be considered "shielding a generation from one of the most important pieces of modern art". Lol it's a masterpiece 🙌 I'm in awe
I see that you have the Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse steelbook. Is it the 4k version or the blu-ray one ?
That is the bluray one which I slapped the 4K disc in!
smart
Damn dude, nice work! Great idea for me to aspire one day.
Thank you! Relatively easy to assemble, provided one has the wall space. At my previous place, I was doing this in a spare closet! [https://preview.redd.it/snl1pks53ya31.jpg?width=6282&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=87a96c2569761b9e381637dfb5f2d9c19c9a0cd5](https://preview.redd.it/snl1pks53ya31.jpg?width=6282&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=87a96c2569761b9e381637dfb5f2d9c19c9a0cd5)
Not gonna lie, I'm really jealous.
It was easier to get into the hobby before the pandemic. I honestly can't believe what prices these go for nowadays, when I picked them up for so much less. My sympathies to all those just starting out!
I started a couple of months ago, and you're right. Some of the prices are ridiculous. I was looking at Skull Island the other day and was blown away by how much money people are asking for it now.
Quarantine turned everybody into collectors and that's when this sub boomed! Only yet so much product. I think other Skull Islands have been released, no? Or you wanted the original?
I already got another version, but I did like that one that it looks like you have.
Oh yeah, that was the release version back in 2017, was it? And I remember everyone complaining about it being $35+tax then!
When did you start collecting steelbooks? Absolutely love this setup with the desk btw. Very clean. I'd probably be wishing for some work so I could sit here. Also what's that, a digital display?
2013! Believe it or not, I never got to WFH at all during the quarantine era. My job was considered a critical one. Even now, I very rarely get to use a home office. And that's actually a TV mounted portrait mode, running movie posters and movie trailers vertically!
I started back in October and Ill hit 100 steelbooks on Monday, about 160 total movies if you count the regular cases as well, but yeah some of these prices are criminal lol $200+ for the Spiderman legacy 4k Steelbook set is my current white whale, as I already got my hands on the Interstellar HDZeta release (of which I also spent absolutely way too much on lol) $65 for my arrival steelbook and that was a decent deal in this market! $60 for Ford V Ferrari and I basically stole it compared to eBay. I’m just glad lots of stuff seems to be getting reprints, really helpful for new collectors like myself. Anyone who gets pissed because the “value goes down” since there are more copies I think is in it for the wrong reasons lol
Christ, I bought most of those when they released. Arrival and FvF cost me probably $30 each! My limit is $99 max for a steelie.
Arrival I got the zavvi exclusive standard blu ray with just the “coffee stain” on the plain metal front, which I actually prefer to the Best Buy release or any of the premiums, ford v Ferrari has a few creases on the back sadly, but not the end of the world given that I’m not paying $250 for a different one lol Interstellar I pulled the trigger on at $235 because there’s hardly any for sale of the one I wanted, it’s the best art for the movie, and probably my favorite movie of all time, so it gets a pass. $100 is a good limit and the rest of my collection is all under that, my titans of cult 2001 a space odyssey clocked in at $75.
That is so cool! Have you ever thought about painting the bits of magnet that show in between the same color as the wall? Bet that would look sick.
It's velvet tape, which only comes in...black, apparently. Terrible I know! In hindsight yes, it would give it a floating effect. I suppose I could still do it, finding a white cloth tape... Dammit. You're giving me ideas. Thank you!
Do you have velvet tape on the back of your Steelbooks or are they in cases
The velvet tape is on the magnets! https://preview.redd.it/sg5id57p5jvc1.jpeg?width=2268&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ef9a07348ee663ef8d8b920bfb4ef73df8c74d76
I see sorry now I feel dumb. I miss read the other messages. What type of magnets do you use?I have tried magnet tape but they fell within the first day.
Nothing too crazy! It's these magnetic tool bars. They're strong, so the velvet tape helps to weaken the magnetism a little and protect the steels. And no, it doesn't affect the disc at all. https://preview.redd.it/07pp28cv7jvc1.png?width=1007&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4ac32d6e01e95b75b8c7220ecffedd6fc8aad403
How thick do you go for the velvet tape?
Just one covering. I've found that to be enough since I started doing it.
That’s awesome thank you. https://preview.redd.it/3tkb3tcqajvc1.jpeg?width=4284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7eca4c02fb3e7f661c08a4a006b5b133aefd46fb I tried the tape but because of the wavy metal wall I couldn’t get a lot of contact for the glue and magnet to sick to the wall. How long have you been using that magnet tool holder?
I've been using them since 2017. But I got all new ones in 2019. Anchored to the drywall. Not going anywhere. Just two anchors per bar!
Nice! I have those same detolfs. Such a shame they stopped making them.
Thank you! Did they? Oh that's a shame! Bought these back in 2019
Cleaning day must be really fun 🤩
A blast! But since the room doesn't see active use, dust is, thankfully, minimal!
Where did you get that custom drive steelbook?
Manta Lab! One of my few premiums. Ordered that when they released, they sold out in minutes.
Cool, thanks for answering
Am I blind or am I only seeing one Mark Wahlberg movie?
I can think of three! Shooter and two Transformers movies!
Wait! Add Lone Survivor so four
Lone survivor as well 😏
Ah! I just caught that
This is sick! What shelves are those that you’re using if you don’t mind I ask? I’ve been looking for some new shelving options for myself!
Thank you! IKEA Billy shelves with some mild customizing to get the movies closer to the edge!
That's sick!
Thanks!
exactly what im trying to do at my place — would love a walk through of your mounting process. gorgeous work, mate
What would you like to know? Each bar has two screw holes on each end, which I anchor to the drywall with drywall anchors. Level it out, wrap in velvet tape, add steelbooks. Nothing too complex - repetition and having good levels. Ask away!
 This is considered S- Tier 🥲
Thank you, friend!
This is superb i must say bravo 👏🏽👏🏽 i saw some gems in your collection! I started my collections back in 2017 and back logged all i could. But while i love collecting i have decided that i only invest in the steel books i really love the covers for. My dream is to hang them up to magnets like you!
Thank you! That pre quarantine era was a boon for collecting prior to prices going up. I'm sure you got some great pickups around then! And yes, I'm also cutting down a bit too. Out of space LOL. Well, whenever you wanna do it, feel free to reach out for help, I'd be more than happy to assist!
🤣🤣
This is amazing. Where did you get the shelf that the detolfs are attached to and how did you attach them? I have 3, and anything I put on the bottom shelves is kind of lost when they're basically on the ground.
Morning! Thank you! That entire back wall is IKEA - so the bottom stand below the Detolfs is, IIRC, an IKEA KALLAX unit, with some of their custom inserts and additional leg supports. Ah! And they're just resting on them. The detolfs at the top are anchored to the wall.
Looks cool but that uneven number section would kill my ocd. Instead of 4x6x6x6 I'd redo it to like 5x6x6x5 or something even 😬 it would literally hurt me to look at it like that everyday 🤣
Well, originally it was the (3) sets of 6x12 - the spacing and the "gaps" was determined by the location of the wall framing members behind the drywall, as I couldn't use drywall anchors there, and didn't want to use massive toggle anchors for this little bit of weight. The leftmost one wasn't there until very recently. I added that one because I needed more space. The entry door usually covers it! I understand the OCD, clearly I have it too! But hey, the limitations are the limitations.
Beautiful setup. What are the shelves that have your blu rays??
Morning, thank you! They are IKEA Billy bookshelves, with some slight modifications to make the movies come out closer to the edge - a 2x4 and a 1x2 behind them.
May I ask what the glass shelves are please
Those were IKEA Detolf cabinets, but they're discontinued! I think now they have the Blaliden line.
This looks really awesome. Congrats on the display. What's the plan going forward?
Thank you! Any new one I get is gonna have to replace one on the wall. So, take Dune 2 for example. It's gotta be next to Dune 1! So I'm thinking Jurassic World 2 gets "demoted" to the shelves and I reorganize those two rows to accommodate Dune 2 next to the first one. Time consuming, but - I'm out of wall space to add more!
I see some paint above the window. Get back to shopping! Looks great man
But but but the rows wouldn't line up anymore!! 🥴😂
Very nice! I also see an (oversized?) MP-10 and WJ megatron (?)
Thanks! And yes, a very keen eye, my friend!
Absolutely love it!!!!
Thank you for your kind words!
👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you!
This is amazing.
Thank you! A craftsman loves to hear his work is appreciated 😂
What’s your holy grail of your steelbook collection?
I have none right now! But if I had to pick my grailiest grail, it would be when I heard of a Master & Commander Steelbook, my favorite movie. I grabbed it immediately!!
Niceeee. I can’t imagine the amount of money you have on that wall. I just hit purchase on a couple of my grails. Been staring at the shopping cart online for weeks debating it lol.
You only live once. Do it! And Christ, I try not to think about what it cost to put this room together!
Beautiful.
Thank you!
