How Do You Store Your Record Collection? Recommendations Please!

Greetings all,

I'm looking for a more elegant solution for my records. I currently use a a large deep wood bookshelf but have run out of space and the style is no longer produced by the company so need to figure something else out. Which got me wondering what most folks use to store their records.

Looking for recommendations. Ideally I'd like a manufacturer that's currently in business so I can add on more shelving/units as needed. 

Please share!

Also, has anyone tried any storage solutions from these folks? I like the aesthetic and being in a NYC apartment being able to attach to the wall is a big bonus.

I forgot to mention:

I left the wood cases behind, took only the shelves with dividers. I put the library shelves on top of rolling wire shelf units. If you can find shelves with dividers, and you leave the extra 3/4 - 1" height clearance, you can put them on/in anything.

I just bought a “Better Homes & Gardens” six cube unit on eBay, <$70 delivered...with 200+ records in it I guess it has room for at least another 100-150...and it makes a better turntable base than the Pangea Vulcan rack I’d been using

These are very affordable and work well.
There are also 3 shelve wooden units if you look on Amazon.
I got two which I placed side by side in my office.

I built my own very easy. Pre cut black pipe and oak stair treads all from Home Depot. Stained the oak black and wiped off fast to give the look weathered. Used 3/4 inch pipe if I wanted I could dance on top of it, solid as a rock.
