Advice for storing and organizing my board games? Is Box Throne the right choice or do I stick with Ikea?

I'm a huge collector of board games and the main problem I have is trying to store them all properly. I've tried the Ikea Kallax shelves, but those are not the prettiest things on the planet. They also have a lot of extra mass taken up by the shelves themselves. 

I've been reading about the solution from Box Throne and thought that might be a perfect solution. But I also plan to put these in various spaces in my basement and I'm worried that the Box Throne solutions don't adjust well to dynamic widths. I'd also like to get thoughts from others who have used the solution. It's a bit pricy, but is it worth it? Money usually isn't a big concern for me, so maybe I just bite the bullet?

    I love my Kallax shelving -- it's sturdy and fits a wide variety of shapes and sizes, plus it has the option for drawers, doors, and slide-in baskets.  Looking at the Box Throne system, I'd be concerned about both stability and flexibility -- it would be great for a store or a gaming restaurant's "borrow" games, but I don't think my games all need independent shelving for each of them.

     

    Here's my Kallax setup -- fortunately I have a closet available for it to sit in, so it can go behind closed doors when needed.
