    For those of you who have a lot of books (I'm talking hundreds here), where do you put them all? We moved to our house almost 2 years ago, and we only have about 20 books actually on SHELVES, the remainder being scattered around on tables, around beds, in cardboard boxes, or rubbermaids. We've broken down several shelves and units over the years due to weight. Any recomendations for industrial-type storage that's inexpensive?
    And no...neither of us can part with anything. Hopeless media junkies. Sigh.

    The Re-store, you mean? Yeah, we've been there. No luck. Did find some nice knobs, though!

    We check periodically...one never knows!

    I am the anti-packrat.

    I generally give away or toss anything that I haven't used in over a year.
