What what they are they are still great value for money There are more I need to get but theses have been in storage for around 10 years so out of sight out of mind. Now back on display, I can now look at getting the ones I am missing. t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The carpet was not as dark as I thought it would be, but it does match the wall colour (and the two tones adds character). The comic boxes and other containers to the left are books that need to be sorted into the filing cabinets. Finally the chair will be changed for a grey one that rotates and reclines.

spreads Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Hey guys, I've got at temporary office setup....we bought a place where the owner was in a wheelchair, and although this built-in desk is perfect for scanning/sorting comics, it takes up too much room! I have a much bigger comic room in the basement that at some point will be fully finished and be a real man cave! In the meantime, I've started putting a few comics on display using the built-in shelves. Are these incadescents damaging to the books? I can replace them with a soft light.....I keep the blind closed, but at some point I'll replace it with a blackout curtain... grendelbo, Waylander and Jasonmorris1000000 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post jdraheim Posted May 14 Popular Post Share Posted May 14 After 20 years I finally have my entire comic collection under one roof! (no more storage unit!). My wife and I recently moved into a new house and I took over the 3rd floor bonus room. I had a contractor install some cabinets and special narrow shelving. I have enough wall space to display over 250 comics, plus plenty of shelving for graphic novels, assorted books, statues and figures. My new comic room also has an adjacent storeroom where I keep the bulk of my collection (about 14,000 comics in 130+ short boxes).

I'm sure you can fit many more shorts in the comic box room, you have the little hobbit door off of the bedroom/office! Are you concerning about the weight of those boxes on your floor? piper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
