700+ DVD's needing new storage!

Just finished our loft conversion & need new storage! Throw the old stuff out as they weren't holding out, started to look a bit crappy.
Found the following on the ikea website; http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/90086985
After trailing on a 2 hour drive to pick 6 up, I was told they were out of stock & would not be back in this side of Christmas(Told me over the phone they could give me a stock update due to some load of c**p).
Anyhow something with these dimensions would be perfect! Anybody point me in the right direction?

Re: 700+ DVD's needing new storage!

I went for 4 of the shallow Besta shelves in light fake wood from IKEA with a lower smoked glass door, extra shelves and feet. The problem is that the spacing of the shelves is such that you cannot get an "exact" combination for either DVDs or CDs and still have a shelf at the top of the door.

This is the white one, but there are other colours:

Two fitted on each side of the fire/mantlepiece with a couple of inches to spare. No pics, sorry.

Here's the storage that a very nice forum member picked up, paid for & then sent on to me!

Re: 700+ DVD's needing new storage!

Were they custom built or bought from a shop?
