One of the things I wanted to get when we moved was a proper bookshelf for storing DVDs. Most standard bookcases are too deep for DVD storage and don’t come with enough shelves. There are lots of flimsy wire and plastic things out there, but it’s hard to find a good wood or even wood-like unit. After quite a bit of searching, we discovered Ikea’s Bestå, which is only 7 7/8″ deep. Order three extra shelves and the unit is perfect for DVD storage. We actually found that we have fewer movies than we thought once we were able to display them efficiently.
