RecordsandIPA Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Hey all, looking to organize my collection better and was wondering which is display shelf you'd suggest? Looking for one that's sturdy enough, so I can place my player on top of it. I found some online at target and ikea for about $70, but not sure how well built they are. Need to store roughly 90-100 records for now, and trying to keep it around the $100 range. I really appreciate the help everyone, thanks!

Smellman Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 (edited) From what I can tell, the storage cubes at Ikea and Walmart are virtually identical. I've gotten them from both stores but Walmart ships for free. They come in various configurations. The 2x2 is plenty large enough for 100 records but I've learned it's best to buy larger for a growing collection. I've never owned the kind from Target but they look considerably thinner/flimsier.

mitchard Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 I've used the Ikea Kallax/Expedit in various formats (2x1, 2x2, 4x2, 5x5) over the years. Aside from a custom made shelf, these are real hard to beat. RecordsandIPA and Dr Robert 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchard Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 With your current need, get a 4x2 at least. You'll grow into it quicker than expected. RecordsandIPA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoytis Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Yep, what mitchard said...Ikea Kallax is the best bang for the buck. I house all my vinyl in several of them, and the amp/TT on top. Perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also you don't want them too tight to prevent ringwear. I have about 300 records in a 4x2 Expedit (the old version of the Kallax) and I have 1 cube and a little space open, seriously thinking about going to the 4x4 or 5x5 for some more space mitchard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
