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 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!

 

Oh well, I can't upload pictures with Firefox. My system pick shows my DIY cases. If you are even a bit handy I can provide the details.

Ikea Kallax works quite well for my collection of 5000+ LPs, and has for over a decade.
