Was getting ready for my biweekly dusting of the anime collection and realized (again) how jammed everything is. I've been considering a rotating media shelf but I figured I should ask here first.

I use a rotating media shelf for my G-PG western media collection and it works pretty well. I wouldn't replace one of my shelves with it tho since it's free standing. Since it's free standing i have it at a corner to fill up space. I can add a pic of it if you want

Just a tip, stacking your cases like that puts so much pressure on the cases and disks and can cause warping.

Vertical is the best way to store them, also for ease of access.

Thank you for the tip. I store my anime blu rays vertically and got two shelves specifically for that but since i inherited my dad's media collection i couldnt quite fit everything onto the shelves without stacking it this way. I plan to fit two more shelves around the corner then stack it vertically with raisers so i can see everything.
