Looking for a specific type of shelf?

Post by slowslow325 »

I need to find a shelf about a foot in width, about 3-4 feet tall. It also needs to have adjustable shelves with holes to put the shelves into all the way up (i.e. not 4 at the top, none, 4 in the middle, none, 4 at the bottom.). Preferably black, but I can paint them if they aren't. Also, it would be nice if they came from a major store like Ikea, Walmart, Target, etc. but if they don't it's not a problem.

I was hoping to put the shelves at just the right space apart to put in different type of video games.

So is this like you want a person to sell you their's or you want someone to go find it for you and tell you where to find it? I don't get it. Also, where do you live I'll build it for you if it's close enough for you to come get it.

It's in the game room section so I want someone to tell me a place where I can buy one. Yes, I have done a search myself, but I was hoping someone else might use something similar and suggest something.

I can build one myself, but I was hoping I could just buy them because I want 4 or so.

I know exactly what you mean. All those game carts are a real pain. You can buy oversized cases to fit the same height as a DVD case but then lose too much room on wasted space.

I solved my frustration over this by building a custom shelf for all my N64 carts. I use laminate flooring (thin, strong and space saving) for shelves and 1½ by ½ inch slats to hold the laminate together. Shelves are cut to width of N64 cart stacked with contacts down to keep the dust out. With a table saw and finish nailer a breeze to build. If you don't have these maybe ask the neighbor woodworker and treat to dinner.
