anyone use ikea for lp racks?

http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/60071358

looks like it could be a nice lp rack, but ikea stuff is notoriously cheaply built and the dimensions listed are not too helpful. but taking the total heights/width and dividing by 5 and taking 1.5" off per opening for the boards I come to roughly 13x13" openings which would be good for lps, and figuring 65lps @ 200g/ea per 13 linear inches i get ~29lbs per shelf, right at the listed max weight capacity. seems too good to be true.

I'd be curious to hear if anyone else uses this for lps, and whether or not the shelves look like a compound bow after a year or so...

I use the Ikea 'lack' cases. They stand appx. 6'tall and are easily able to hold LP's without any flexing of the shelves.
You do have to attach the racks to the walls to prevent tipping, but this is easy and they supply very good supports for that.
Great price also.
