Large Board Game Shelf Recommendations

[Hammerfestus | 3,852]

Hey guys, 

I’m looking for a recommendation for a large, preferably white shelf to store all of our board games.  One with doors is actually preferred since this bad boy is going in the living room.  
Here’s a pic of my pile of stuff for reference

Thanks

I kind of like the current setup though...

I have no idea for recommendations, maybe you could build something yourself?

If there is an Ikea near you a trip there might be useful.  They used to have a lot of modular type stuff  in various colors including white. 

This is part of their Kallax line:

Seeing it in person works better than looking online IMHO.

The ikea billy bookcases are deep as hell. I had to switch off them to the prepac media shelves because they are so deep they aren’t really space efficient for storing loose carts. Probably would be perfect for board games that are long or wide though 

edit: I use the kallax for game consoles that are being used - I think it may be too small to fit board games but who knows

I’m just not that handy.  I’m a foot.

 It was just those wire shelves of games but the in-laws are moving into the basement  so there’s been a seismic shift in my storage needs.  My game room is no more and everything got neatly packed away in totes.  
 

BTW these totes from Home Depot are on sale for $11 and they are friggin awesome.

Those HDX totes are the tits. Used them to move and store my collection when I moved back to NY. Not a single issue with any of them, held up extremely well even being stacked 4-5 high in some cases with a lot of weight on the bottom. Fun fact a complete loose NTSC N64 set fits in one while a complete loose NES minus SE took about 4. (27 gallon)

The “cashier” even asked me about them because I came out with 8 of them and then immediately went back in and came out with 6 more.  I figure there’s not a world where I go, “man, I wish I’d bought fewer of those $10 totes”.  She pointed out that it costs $4.50 for a cardboard box that size.  The quality for the price is off the charts.

Near as I can tell they're 11" deep, same as any other bookcase.

Didn’t mean to offend your bookcase expertise
