Vinyl Storage Options

@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.

Great tip

I have 2000+ to store and I want doors to reduce cluttered look so I’m targeting 2 of this

DIY is way cheaper - I got lucky and a friend gave me a huge hunk of red oak - most of it went to the mantle. The rest I got cut into 3 x 9" x 97". As you know, vinyl is heavy, so I put in vertical supports about every 15" or so. I needed some more shelves, so just got cheap 3/4" pine board from Lowes. Same basic design and supports. Been in place about 7 years now and no sagging - so far :-) Oh yeah, screws only, no nails.

I like to be able to flip through my records. I buy used so the jackets are in various states. I find old fruit crates work, but you cannot pick them up. I use 1x2’s to make a crate for under $5. 

Why don;t images save?

Ikea.  My 3,000+ collection is in pieces I have bought over the years at Ikea - some of their cabinetry has 13" square sections that work well.

Bach to Mahler are in my living/music room, the rest through to Zemlinsky in my office.

There are separate shelves for Shaded Dogs and Archiv recordings.

I have made several attempts to actually catalog them but have given up. Now I browse when I am in the mood!
