Why would this even matter? But think of it, more of the actual LP is supported by the shorter sides, with the longer sides just the very top of the LP is supported.
Are wood crates like Crosley safe for LP's?
I only ask this because of their height. While they are plenty wide enough, they don't cover the last 2+ inches of the LP. It just doesn't seem ideal, when you're putting the weight of 75 LP's in there. I've also seen cheaper versions at Home Depot and Walmart. But again, they are only 9-10" high. The Crosley is solid wood, and seems like good quality. I would stain it, to make it look nicer.
