or metal shelves on the internet, but I would like to know if there is another
solution

Thanks in advance for your help

If you have a box for a 6210, 6973 and 75252 you can send them my direction and
I will send Paypal your direction.

I can't answer your question because I am "space spoilt". I just
put them all into home depot boxes as they are to keep them undamaged, and stack
them up. But for other were storage space is an issue that would be a valuable
solution for them.

Another solution is wood shelving.

It really depends on what you are storing and where. Plastic shelving is often
fine for smaller boxed sets kept in their original shipping boxes, stacking the
shipping boxes a few high. Whereas for larger and heavy sets, I wouldn't
stack them on top of each other on shelves. Better to have one high per shelf.
Whether you put them into plastic storage boxes depends on where you are storing
them. Is it humid, damp, dusty, etc. Also it depends how you are buying them.
It is easier to store sets if you bought them in the original shipping boxes
that come direct from lego or some other retailers compared to if you purchased
them by taking them off the shelf in a store.

I used the big map filing cabinets, the one they put blueprints and artwork in
at the library. Picked some up cheap at the local freight salvage auction place.
They work great for flattened box storage, but do require space. I built my sorting
table over them. To better utilize the floorspace
