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.

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. :)

Yes...I only have about 1400 albums. It is heirloom quality furniture = spouse approved. Their crates are pretty nice/cool too - all dovetailed. I have one last home move - good part it is portable; one of my kids will then get the system and associated audio room items down the road. If it was my final home - would go with built ins.

Shelves made of real wood. In the past IKEA copied these, but I am not sure if they still sell them.

@dmk_calgary You have 3" thick slabs of red oak? 15" supports is complete overkill. Have a look at the sag calculator. Hardwood has much higher stiffness compared pine/MDF, so longer spans can be used. 

I used 1" red oak and 3' = 36" spans are perfectly fine. I also prefer rabbets/glue/dowels over screws. Much stronger connection.
