The Amazing DVD Shelf!

I'll pass too - I'd rather have 2 shelves side by side or one on top of the other. Actually I think my home built shelf is MUCH nicer, you can find pics of it here:

To TheDuke: Actually - if you look at the right hand picture you see that the left panel "closes" and if you take a look at the "base" you see that there is nothing awkward about the way it sticks out. Understand?

Is there any reason why you don't have two closing shelves? I think my collection would fit perfectly with two "doors", plus I think it would look nicer closed up.

Looks cool, but not practical.

I've had absolutely no problems with anything getting loose and no splitting of the wood with the use of the piano hinges. Course the hinge has something like 39 screws per side, so it's unlikely that there would be any problems. The only reason I have not built both sides of it yet is because the layout of the room is much more user friendly with only the left side complete. Of course when I get everything filled then I'll feel more compelled to build the right hand closing shelf.
Deputy Dave - please show me some pictures of the version the guy at work builds for you. Never know - I might want to try it a 2nd time! I'm just an amateur woodworker though. So, please remember my name and e-mail me some pictures when the project is complete, I'd REALLY appreciate it. Thank you in advance.

I did understand why you staggered the braces/spacers on the shelves after he explained it. It was one thing that always stood out but I guess it is necessary.

DeputyDave: Yup, it's my design. I have all of my original drawings and everything so that when I get ready, I can look at them and get right to work on building the right side door and easily stick to the same specs.
