Looking for ways to "house" my 3,000ct., 3-row storage boxes

[Davz13]

So I like to buy the 3-row storage boxes, the Super Shoe Storage Boxes (3,000ct.).
They are about 10" wide, 4.5" tall, and 18" deep (just eyeing it up; i didn't measure).
I have maybe 20+ of these boxes, so I have a lot to store.
I currently have them stacked in multiple rows, a few boxes high each, on the floor of a closet.
I want to put them in a nice looking, multiple shelved, piece to make it look better.

I was hoping to find a deep "bookcase" of some sort to put them in. Most bookcases I've seen online aren't deep enough (they are maybe 12" deep, but I'm hoping for 18" at least so these slide all the way back).

BCW makes "houses" for the 2-row, 1,600ct. boxes, but I don't think they make them for the larger sizes.

So, how does everyone store their boxes?
Can anyone show some pictures, or direct me to some bookcases or "enclosed" storage pieces (I'd prefer that over the shelving units) that fit my need?
Also, they have to be sturdy, because these get heavy.

If you really want something deep find someone that makes custom furniture. It the best way to go when you want something to fit perfectly. Just a suggestion.

Sorry I don't have a picture, but I did what Don suggested a few years back.

Have a room with an area that would make a small walk in closet.

I found a guy in the home improvement magazine that comes in the mail every few weeks, especially this time of year. He built me two bookcases that attach together to look like one huge bookcase with the bullnose trim. Very similar to what you find in any furniture store.

Just 20 inches deep. Which you cannot find in any furniture store.....

Holds six 4-row boxes side by side, three high per shelf. Five shelves per side, for a total of 48 four row boxes on the six shelves off the floor, and room for larger stuff on the bottom.

Solid wood shelves (NO particle board!), and extra large brass pins to hold them, and each shelf has a bull-nose trim in front for extra stability. (Keeps the shelf itself from bowing.) Again, looks just like the stuff in most stores, just bigger.

The extra large pins are the key here. It's the little pins, in the little holes, that fail under extreme weight. Like 6 four row boxes full of cards.

Stained medium just like the 12 inch deep bookcases I already had/have.

As I remember, he was a cabinet builder, and I just took a shot and asked if he could build this for me. An easy job he jumped at.

Gotta be a wood guy with a shop close to you who needs the business. Probably get a better deal than I did ten years ago with all that's going on now.

Amen on that some people are begging for work.

Sorry I went MIA for a few days. Been a busy week(s), and I went out of town camping this weekend to get away from it all for a while. haha.

Great suggestion!

That cabinet that lifts sounds like a really neat idea. I can kind of picture it, but wish I saw pictures/video.
I'm visualizing something for special cards to be showcased in that.

I might also want an extra cabinet on the bottom row that would have a large safe in it (i haven't bought it yet) to keep higher end cards and 1/1s in.
I currently have a small file safe (probably 1/2 hour fire protection) that opens at the top. It probably holds 50 cards max.
I want one that has a longer fire-proof protection, opens in the front, and has a few shelves.

That sounds awesome!
I'd love to see pics if you wouldn't mind sharing.
