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.

@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.

I had a solid-wood media cabinet custom built for ~$800, IIRC, several years ago.  I designed it with custom-sized drawers for CDs, cassettes, etc. and two shelves for LPs at the top.  There is also a lip at the front of the shelves so the LPs won't slide out in the most severe of earthquakes.  It's really great having the LPs on top, so I can easily read the spines.  I think I have a photo of the cabinet in my Virtual System.

I would suggest you consider looking at any local cabinet manufacturers and see what they can do for you, and I highly recommend getting your LPs at eye level.

@lpluvr Unfortunately, quality shelving that can take the weight of LPs isn’t cheap. 

+1 IKEA may have some economical options, but generally we each have unique solutions. I’ve seen some custom options, but usually you have to do deep research.
