I have always just stacked the board games on a shelf.
The boxes on the bottom have always collapsed under the weight
and it has always been a mess!
I decided to re-work the toyroom starting with the games.
I'm sorry I didn't take a before picture, but you can imagine stacks
of broken game boxes.
After some research online, I had two choices:
Game Savers at www.obhenterprises.com/GameSavers.html
and to be honest my organizing heart yearns for these nice, clean, blank
boxes that store board games but the price is too high. About $11 per game.
Fix the boxes (mostly the corners) with clear packing tape, put all small pieces
in ziplocs, throw away games that had missing pieces and store them like books
on their sides. Brilliant! Why haven't I thought of doing that????
Each game can easily be pulled out without dumping five others on top of it.
Each box is only holding its own weight.
Each game can be seen.
Our toy toom will never be the same.
The dread of getting a game and putting it back is over!
I love these colorful shelves now! So organized....
Very good idea!
