REASONS TO AVOID
The top pick comes from Atlantic, a brand that offers a huge array of gaming shelves.
The one that stands out most is the Oskar 464 media cabinet.
Boasting an incredible size for the price range ( 25.13″ W x 7.25″ D x 54.00″H), you will be able to store up to 276 video game cases in here.
The cabinet includes 12 adjustable rows which are an awesome feature for gaming shelves.
This customizability will give you the freedom to store more depending on what you have (e.g. controllers, memorabilia, or a DVD/media cabinet hybrid).
We expect the Oskar 464 to accommodate the majority of your gaming collection (or if not, most of it alongside a tv stand/secondary option below).
The unit looks sleek and modern; perfect for a cool gaming room setup with multiple decent color options available.
Despite this value offering, the Oskar does not feel cheap.
With a solid wood composite build and plenty of fixtures to keep it firmly in place, the build quality is fantastic for the price (self-assembly).
The unit weighs 33.8lbs which puts it in comfortably in the “mid-tier” range – > not too heavy to adjust position if needed, but not so light it cannot support your requirements.
The one thing that can let some of the Atlantic shelves down is the slight lack of stabilization on the thinner cabinets they create.
However, with the 464, you’re getting the best of both worlds: wide enough (double cabinet) that it is stable and hosts an amazing space for gaming storage, but not so wide it demands more space in your room than your collection needs.
If you’re looking for a sharp balance between style, affordability, size, and quality, then these units are easily the best video game shelves available for you.
Best Budget Video Game Shelves: Atlantic Drawbridge
For the best budget gaming storage pick, we return to Atlantic for a smaller product.
The Drawbridge is a cheap gaming shelf option with 36″ L X 19″ W X 7″ D dimensions and space for up to 132 games.
This is still a decent size and a sensible pick for smaller collections (you could also buy a second one at a later date to up-scale).
The 4 included shelves are all adjustable which will allow you to make the most of smaller dimensions.
The unit looks sleek and modern, perfect for a cool gaming room setup with multiple decent color options available.
While not quite the same build quality as the Oskar, the Drawbridge still feels and looks great with a sleek matte black finish.
We’ve chosen the drawbridge over other single-column Atlantic (or other manufacturers) offerings for the budget pick as it is still wide enough to avoid stabilization issues seen in many of the slimmer shelving units.
If your budget is tight or you simply have a smaller collection/space available, know that we put the Drawbridge so highly on the list for a reason.
With it managing to retain great style, quality, and space in its price point, we’re confident these units are the best cheap video game shelves available today.
Best Premium Video Game Shelves: Homissue Industrial Open Bookcase 7-Tier
The Homissue IOB7 is not advertised as a “video game shelf” unit.
However, if you’re looking for something higher-end, we’d recommend this over the expensive storage cabinets “marketed” for games.
This is because the Homissue really stands out in build quality, design, and space – way more than other units in its price range.
Built with high-quality MDF and a rich steel tube frame, the unit is very sturdy which is especially impressive considering its monumental size.
Speaking of size…
The unit has an 84.4″ H x 23.3″ W x 11.8″ D dimensions across 7 shelves.
The space between its shelves is more than enough for your video game collection.
We like this because for a higher-end pick, presentation-wise you want your collection to have room to “breathe”.
Dedicated “video game shelves” can often feel a bit cramped in comparison (but if you have a massive collection, check out the pick directly below).
The other added bonus to the immense build quality is the 32kg carrying capability on each shelf.
This makes it one of the best video game console storage tower options on the list if you wanted to use your shelving for more than just game cases.
(Looking for more of a traditional high-end video game shelf unit? The best we would recommend is the Atlantic 4-tier rotating cube unit.)
The final plus of the Homissue is the MDF and steel tubing both have beautiful finishes giving the shelves a very high-quality presentation.
Some shelves for gaming storage look a little outdated.
But the Homissue fits in perfectly with more modern aesthetic if you’re looking for a sleek gaming room setup.
We’d argue that this unit doesn’t just have amazing build quality and space, but is also the best looking video game storage option available.
