Reckon he means you just use the allen key they throw in the box.

If a human can’t use an allen key, they’ve failed (or they have a horrible disability and now I feel bad).

Yeah I’m leaning towards a wall mounted display but can’t find anything decent for the quantity other than some German made Cubit storage system that takes 3 months to deliver.
They are currently stored under my bed.
An… iPod? What is this, 2005?

I’ve got (when I live in my own place, not right now ffs fml) a load of tall black billy bookcases. All CDs, DVDs and books on there. Doesn’t take up much space, and looks good. If you’re into that sort of thing, which I fucking am.

I basically have 1/2 walls full of stuff, then the rest free for whatever else (tasteful art, photomographs, a mirror).

Billy – you can buy extra shelves so you’re not wasting a fuckload of space.

#65

I hate these @anon5266188 don’t get one

Just get a bed that is quite high off the ground and get some plastic tubs

edit: don’t get these from ikea tho as they charge you extra for the lid. Go Dunelm Mill or Wilko

The CD/DVD depth ones are now called gnedby:

However, you can ‘double stack’ CDs in a Billy bookcase.

Ah shite, what’s the beeve meo? Was gonna square a couple of these off for our spare rooms when we move.

#68

Oh, I just use the standard Billy bookcases with extra shelves in. Those narrow ones waste too much space and cost a fuckload for what they are.

Imagine this but full of CDs, DVDs and books.

Top tip! Thanks!

Hi. This is what I have for books, magazines and (some) CDs. It’s amazing.

The majority of CDs are now in plastic CD wallets and then in Muji acrylic boxes, you can fit about 120 in one box. The Muji boxes are stored on Cubit shelves.

Trying to think of a Bunk bed pun now

#74

Do you know where Indiana Jones prefers to sleep in his dormitory? The top bunk. Top. Bunk.

#75

They look weird and cheap and gross and so annoying having to lift the whole bed up!
I can’t imagine they’ll be a super comfy, good quality bed cause the main point if it is to lift it up to store stuff in it

#76

I don’t see why they’d be uncomfortable compared to a standard bed with slats. It’s basically the same design but you can lift the slats up.

#77

If my bed can be lifted up super easily, it’s not gonna be good enough for me.

#78

How are heavy beds lined up?

The decent ones are fine. We have one and it’s no different to a normal bed. In many ways it’s better, actually, as it sits on a braced box, rather than four legs.

I’ve got one of those bed and it’s fine. Most of the comfort comes from the mattress surely? It’s a proper metal frame with slats and some but the hinge mechanism makes it lift easily/
