    Main Feedback, ill keep it short 

    1.  They look nice, good job.
    2.  People with only a few records wont commit that kinda cash to storing them, people with lots of records probably can't afford the quantity they would need (like me).
    3.  I work in a construction related industry. People are idiots. These things are going to be stud anchored or bust.  1 and 3 people will incorrectly install a drywall anchor, ruin their wall, and leave you 1 Star angry reviews.  Trust me on this one.
    4. Your elevator pitch is really thin with the 'hardship' angle. Having to bend over to grab a record is not a big deal, its not like your grabbing more than a few a day at best. Stick to the value proposition of a high quality item and the safety it provides having them elevated.

    Good luck!

    Got a link?

    Just search on Amazon. 

     

    Thats how I got my versions. 

    MOTU is about $18 for vomit splatter. 

    Nonagon looks to be OOS at the moment, but when I ordered it was $14 for green with black splatter. 

    Banana is hit or miss, some get highlighter yellow version, some get gold/blue splat.

    Gumboot will be orange with red blob and red splatter.

     

    Castleface has inexpensive color variants of Mind Fuzz and Quarters. Though they may be OOS at this point. Havent looked recently.

    seeking feedback on IKEA's Kallax wall anchor hardware for vinyl storage

    I am hoping to get some feedback on the IKEA Kallax 5x5 unit and the wall anchor hardware. I have two 4x2 units filled up with my records but I recently aquired a 5x5 unit and would like to move my records into that. The bottom molding doesn't allow the 5x5 unit to sit flush with the wall and I was unsure about using the wall anchor hardware to secure it to the wall since essentially I'd be pushing the top portion against the wall because it isn't sitting flush. I'd feel better about using the wall anchor hardware but if it isn't advisable the way its positioned then I hope I can get some feedback with some other ideas or options.

     

    Additionally, the wall the 5x5 is up against is the wall I'd like for it to be on (all the walls have the bottom molding so I'd run into the above situation on any wall)... but it is not an outside wall and is shared with the room next to it. So in the other room, on the other side of the wall is a filled 1500 capacity CD shelf. I am thinking about weight limits for construction and weight distribution if I were to keep the 5x5 unit on the other side of the wall with the CD shelf. Does anybody know what kind of weight limits there are for second floor construction? I did do some searching online and I came up with some information about 240lbs per square foot or something like that. Not sure how accurate that is or if there is anything else I should consider. Also not sure what the ultimate weight would be with a full 5x5 Kallax / 1500 CD shelf against either side of a wall.

     

    I'd like to post some pictures  if that helps with any discussion on this topic. It seems as though my Dropbox links to the pictures will not take when I click the "insert other media" button at the bottom of the post here. Thanks so much in advance!

     

     

    Buy a thin panel of wood, cut to size, and nail into the back of the shelf. Get metal L brackets and screw into corners of shelf. Your 5x5 will be incredible solid now. I did this with a 2x4 and it's so sturdy now.

     

    I would not recommend filling a 5x5 and keeping it on the second floor. I think building codes are only 40lbs per square foot. Assumming each square is 50lbs you are looking at 1250 lbs over a 6 ft span. If,you do put it on the second floor, run the shelf against a load bearing wall and keep it perpendicular to the floor joists.

    No Newbury hype sticker, so I opened to verify color. It was listed as the colored exclusive version on the order sheet it shipped with though. I'll be steamed if they tell me they can't swap them because it's open.

    They'll send you the exclusive variant and tell you to keep the black. Don't worry about it. they're good with customer service.

    I believe the idea is to distribute in worldwide, so we would actually see releases in North America and Europe on the shelves of our local stores, it is certainly a tough pill to swallow when a new album is $70.00 AUS shipped. However it makes me wonder, even with a distribution network, will they be extremely pricey at local stores as well? if that is the case ill just buy the more limited version direct from flightless thank you very much ;)

    I saw the Gumboot Flightless pumpkin spice pressing at a local shop in Kansas City for $35. So not that pricey, I suppose.
