Vinyl Storage Options

Check out Sidetracked Workshop. I bought some of their stuff and they do quality work for a reasonable price. Nice looking stuff

The Ikea Kallax is almost perfect as many have stated. I added a back to mine, making it better.

@drlou77, as a long time hobbyist I’ve gone through several LP storage options.  So to start with, a basic question.  Would you prefer a standard shelving array, like library books, or a bin style where it is easier to blip through your collection?

I have the former but in my elder years would choose the latter now for easier selection.  I end up down on my knees to pick from the bottom row, plus make certain I have adequate room lighting.

When I moved a few years ago I reduced my LP collection from about 3,000 to approximately 1,000.  The advantages to my oak cube system are flexibility (horizontal or vertical array), adaptability (add or subtract cubes as needed), sturdiness (a friend with a larger collection has these stacked 6 high), and the wire dividers within each cube to hold LPs vertical.  Mine are no longer made but this is a current copy.

I attempted to add a photo but apparently don't know how to attach one?

@bslon Are your two rows of Kallax cubes reinforced too?

No, but some kind of backing will keep the LPs from sliding in too far in as the backs are open. I taped down cord hider to remedy that.
Horizontally, they’re very sturdy. I wouldn’t run them very high if used vertically. The interior dividers are held in place with 4 dowels, I’m not sure how they’d handle the weight of LPs if they were used as shelves.
