I have a lot of DVDs
People who have a lot of DVDs - how do you store your DVDs?
What storage have you got for them and where from?

Disc wallets.

Billy bookcases

I've got some acrylic shelf units especially for DVDs. They are light and unobtrusive and you can see the titles easily. I haven't got a scooby where I got them

Billy bookcases.

How many DVDs would Billy bookcase have?

On a shelf in our summerhouse. We have a projector and screen down there and got fed up of walking up and down the garden whenever we wanted a cinema day in lockdown. They have stayed there ever since

Prior to that, they lived on two bookcases, our DVDs are mainly disney ones, as I collected then when we had our first child

How many DVDs do you have?

I got shelves to house dp's CD collection from shelfstore and I absolutely love them. They do DVD ones too. Not the cheapest option but they can be extended if necessary.

Sorry! Rushing so link fail

We have these

@Igneococcus 245 DVDs
Some of those are whole series collections (so thicker than a single DVD)

I throw the boxes away and store the discs in paper disc envelopes, in a storage box from ikea.

Those massive disc wallets that hold hundreds of them

We had that problem as well @purpleme12 that some of the CDs are in box sets (mostly a classical music collecction) and they are often also higher than single CDs.
We used to have them in Billys but they have a limit to how much you can adjust the shelves so there was too much space wasted and we have a tiny house.

I’m properly attached to my DVDs so I have wall shelves the exact height to fit DVDs and just enough brackets to support them but not take up too much room. We’ve got about 700 and my engineer husband did all the calculations to make sure they wouldn’t fall down

Ah I really need your husband!!

Billy bookcases here, or just shoved in a cupboard!

I've got a TV stand the length of the wall it sits against, it's got 3 spaces, 2 are kitted out with dvds, 2 cases deep and packed.

CDs on the other hand.... in plastic boxes in the loft...

Wall of twin slot shelving holds the DVD and CD collections, but prior to having this space they were in giant wallets with the boxes stored in the attic

Before we moved abroad I put all the DVDs in DVD wallets and put those in A5 arch files organised by genre. Chucked away all the cases.

I probably shouldn’t have bothered though as we rarely use them. We often download or stream the same films just for convenience.

I would guess we have more than that. The majority we took out of their boxes and keep them in disk cases/bags. Then we have special ones like marvel/harry potter etc that are kept in boxes. We have storage under the seats in our sofa and keep them under there - both those in boxes and the three cases we have.

We've just been putting our DVDs into wallets after changing the furniture. Its created so much space!

You bit extra shelves to get 8 DVD height apertures. I will count a shelf for you while I’m waiting for my pizza.

Billy bookcases here, too

48 single DVDs will fit on each shelf of an 80cm wide billy. So that’s 384 DVDs per standard Billy, or roughly half that for a 40cm one.

I have too many DVDs, I now realise.
