Remember kids, the difference between a mess and a collection is a display case.

    I'm afraid to ask, which is this?!

    Well, you have a display case, so that makes it a collection.

    If you can't afford that, a simple tray can work wonders. The point is to define a space and make it clear those items are deliberately placed there.

    But that's a really nice corner étagère OP, love the lighting.

    It's like looking back at my own misspent youth. 10/10 great stuff, and wonderfully maintained + displayed.

    Thank you, that's very kind. They are all games i have owned at some point in time, most have sentimental value I have a few more to buy yet but I'm going to need another cabinet! Games like Sonic, Road Rash, Soul Calibur on the Dreamcast, Nights on the Saturn. Just getting the games i enjoyed the most.

    Nice choice! The white cabinet looks awesome. I normally just buy whatever display cabinets i can find used on nextdoor or craigslist, but i'd like to get a nice corner unit like this.

    Looks great! Maybe I should invest in a display case.

    I just did the same !! Shelves really help make a space. Yours is much fancier though.
