Vinyl Storage Options

Mistake people make with Kallax is turning o its side because the want a higher versus wider stack, or such.

The shelves are made to sit and be strong the way they are made.

Turning on end jas no strength.

That's really a problem with the 4x4, 5x5, etc. 

The 2x4 can be oriented either way without issue. I have three of them. Two are the "wrong" way and one is right side up. In ten years of use, fully laden, I've not had a single problem.

All those internet photos of collapsed Ikea shelf disasters are the large 4x4 and 5x5 that are oriented on the sides, rather than right side up. Basically, the long internal shelf supports need to be the horizontal ones, and the short ones vertical, to support them, so that the wooden pegs that secure them aren't bearing any load. For the 2x4 it doesn't matter as much, since there is only one level of them with pegs bearing loads.

Good clarification on the specifics, thanks.

Caution remains.

I went with Symbol Audio....US made by hand, you pick the wood & finish - picked mine to match the rest of my room & system,, different size options.  They offer  discount/sales twice each yr. You can look at my system (one on the side wall - not behind main system). They also make wall hangers for display to match the stands & album boxes to match too. The link for their store is here:

Oh yeah...that looks awesome..., that will cost me about $40k to house my collection. LOL

I think I spent not much more than $1200 on my Ikea to get it done. :)
