Vinyl Storage Options


I have a large vinyl collection that I would like to store in my dedicated music room.  I have around 700-1000 albums that I would like to store one level high.  Looking at some custom options that are running around $5,000 - $7,000.

Looking for others experiences in this regard.

Thanks.

You can see my storage of 2,000 albums under my virtual system... my main system. The cost was in a few hundred. for inexpensive white cubes. The storage is not fancy... but most of what you see is the albums not the storage. 

I looked at nice fancy stuff... it gets astronomically expensive quick. But I can see having nice looking would be good. 

I figured it wouldn't be too long before the Kallax was mentioned wink 

I thought about using that at one point too - the price is certainly right.  But as @audphile1 said, it needs to be reinforced as it's not very stable on its own.  Not surprisingly at its price, it's made out of cheap materials and I really didn't think it would stand up to the weight of my record collection.  But lots of people swear by it and there's many videos online that describe how to reinforce it, so it might be worth a try.

Oh, and given the interior dimensions of the cubes (13.25"), I'd guess they'd store somewhere between 75 and 100 records, but someone here who is actually using it should have a more accurate estimate.
