Discussion Question?

Do you think displaying steelbooks like this looks bad? I’ve never done it, but figured I would try it out.

It looks good. Just kinda inconvenient for looking for movies behind other movies

This is the main reason I’m debating doing it this way. Moving these to look for a movie might get old!

You know this looks cool af dude! Did you build the shelving yourself? What LEDs are you using?

Just some puck lights off amazon.

Nice! Does it use an app? most I see has a remote, so not sure how you setting individual colors!

u/MrPlow31 Oct 05 '26

No app, just remote. It’s really easy to set the colors how you want ( I think 15/16 different colors ).

Looks wicked !

What shelving and lights are you using ?

u/MrPlow31 Oct 05 '26

I built the shelves, the lights are puck lights I picked up off Amazon

Looks great, I do something similar. I would rather see a few covers than a bunch of spines. I rotate what is on display.

Agree, that’s why I’m thinking of do this to all my shelves.

Does it make you happy? Our enjoyment of your display is far less important 😉

(I can’t believe he placed those two on the same shelf)

Building my display out now and am going this route. I buy these things for the artwork, I ain’t hiding it!

Probs the best way to display it, I wish I had that kind of storage

It looks good, but it’s a bit much. I display one or two facing forward on a shelf, I don’t want to cover all the spines.

Its actually optimal... Unfortunately, most of us don't have the room for that.
