record storage?

Take a look at the following link:

http://www.ikea-usa.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10101&storeId=12&langId=-1&productId=11499

I have ca. 1200+ records on this cabinet without cramming and is absolutely rock solid. There is no warping of the shelves or the cabinet. I also think the price is very reasonable. Putting it together was a 30 minute operation that I did by myself.

Best regards.

Sorry Ashra, my post duplicates your recommendation of the Expedit. I second your enthusiasm for this product.

The correct link is:

http://www.ikea-usa.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10101&storeId=12&langId=-1&productId=11499 (cut and paste the whole number)

Ashra is correct in 2000+ capacity for the large model.

Best regards.

Rushton, you are just fabulous with those pictures, thank you.

Mine are against the wall and, even though slightly offset by the bottom molding, the LPs maintain a very uniform spine-line. Of course, I am also a BiiiiiiiT anal about those things so...it comes easy to me. (I know, I know, there is medication but It gives me a rash.)

I did not put anything on the back of the cabinet since, after the cabinet is full of records, you don’t see the wall through the cabinet. What I like the most is the sturdiness of the thing and no warping to the shelves.

Best regards.

Rushton, I am with you about the spines being close to the front of the shelves. I like them right at the lip for better visibility, since every LP I own is in a clear cover and that makes the spine a bit harder to read.

Your idea of the “spacer” is very attractive. It would make the process of inserting an LP in the shelf much easier. Thanks for the idea.

Best regards.

Joe, a damn impressive design! But then, seeing what you did with the Teres, it’s not a surprise. Congratulations.
