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.

I’ve had luck finding quality work workers on Etsy that will build affordable units to your specifications. Knowing my limits I was not going to build my own. You might want to look there as well as what’s been stated prior. I have one of the pieces included in my virtual system if interested. 

See my system if you are interested, which is posted on AG.

I went with Ikea shelve/racks, then reinforced each unit (I have four) by adding 1/4" plywood back panel.  The plywood was glued & screwed to the back of each. 

I can store ~600 LPs in each, totaling ~670 lbs per unit.   They make a great base if you want to place your gear on the top.  I can play with the dog right in front of the TT, and the cart never wabbles or skips.

Caution - I would not store 600 LPs on these units WITHOUT the addition of a glue & screw back panel.  

Good luck,

@finnegan Do you have contact information for the people who used?

@audphile1 Thanks, this is option is financially and functionally attractive.

@inagroove Thanks.

Thanks to all for your help.

These are from IKEA, very sturdy and (considering) reasonably priced. Each cube can hold 75 LPs. There’s 5 cubes per unit, they have various sizes.
