How To Store Record Collection?


Currently storing vinyl collection (1,700 albums) on Metro metal wire shelves. Looking for recommendations for bookcases, shelving systems, cubes, etc. Particularly interested if anyone has tried the Cubitec modular system? Trying to decide whether to go with off the shelf furniture or have built-in units constructed.

I've read that albums weight approximately 40lbs. per linear foot. Does anyone know if this is accurate?

I second the Pers Madsen record rack suggestion. I have used them for a number of years and have about 5,000 LPs stored in them. They have a very high WAF. Very flexible as to how you design your storage space. Easy to expand. Moving them with the LPs inside is quite easy and much more convenient than having to take the LPs off of the shelf, move the shelf and then put the LPs back on the shelf.
