altarsofradness Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 sorry, i know this has been covered in at least one other thread, but i cant seem to find anything anywhere i recall someone mentioning Ikea made a shelving unit designed specifically for vinyl. i checked over at ikea and came up with at least 7 or 8 units that look like they could work. would someone mind pointing me in the right direction? if not a link, then at least the name of the unit? thanks.

Kjm23 Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 I believe it's the Expedit, not sure if that is spelled right. Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benchwarmer Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 I bought the boxes that fit LPs, but after putting them together I realized their not that great for stacking. The other one that I liked started with an "A" and was white... I'm sure that helps when looking at the ikea website Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xfedupx Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Yeah the Expedit is where it's at. 3 different sizes too http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/40047675 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altarsofradness Posted August 14, 2007 Author Share Posted August 14, 2007 i saw the Expedit, though it was more of a drawer than a shelving unit. is that what you guys were talking about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

altarsofradness Posted August 14, 2007 Author Share Posted August 14, 2007 wow, the 58 5/8 x 58 5/8 looks awesome. exactly what i wanted. any of you dudes use this? comments? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elephanttttt Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 I shall BE purchasing this when i own more vinyl! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altarsofradness Posted August 15, 2007 Author Share Posted August 15, 2007 im wondering how many lps the smallest unit holds. if i had to estimate, id say somewhere between 425-500. which means do i go bigger and grow into it, or buy the smaller, which will suit my more immediate needs. hmmm...

thomas Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Target is having a sale on these so tomorrow I'm going to go check out the thing on the right and see if it will be big and strong enough to hold vinyl. If so it is a pretty good deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Admin Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 This is the ikea expedit shelf we bought for Vinyl Collective and it works really well. We have already kind of outgrown it, but it would be great for most people's collections and they offer small sizes, too. They offer customizable elements like drawers and doors which we have for mailing supplies. All in all, they rule. I give it my highest recommendation.

I have this size in the black/brown and it's AWESOME! I bought it with the intentions of using it only for vinyl, but I collect other stuff like toys and actually use it more for the other things now. I'm thinking about getting another one just for records. I guess my point is, is that it's awesome and if you don't have enough to fill it up, you'll fill it with other things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altarsofradness Posted August 15, 2007 Author Share Posted August 15, 2007 awesome. thanks for the help, im definitely heading to Ikea this weekend and picking one up. stoked to get my sweet L33T wax on display. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skumbucket Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 i was going to buy an expedit while i was on my west coast vacation, but i couldn't get the fucking box to fit inside my little hatchback. i need it bad too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Admin Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 we had to mailorder it because they don't have an ikea in denver. My wife and I actually drove to salt lake and same thing, it would not fit in my car. Damn you ikea for not being in denver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

altarsofradness Posted August 15, 2007 Author Share Posted August 15, 2007 hm. i never even considered getting the box in my car. it's at least 58 5/8" long. crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
destroyingthescene Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Heh, I can see Ikea from my window. I think it's time to maybe get one of those, as I'm just using a terrible bookshelf I bought from Wal-Mart. I'm so paranoid that it'll collapse at any moment!

tommytumult Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 If it is please please let us know. I plan on grabbing a few. I bought one of the three shelf ones today at Target since there's no Ikea anywhere near northeastern Wisconsin. It seems to be sturdy enough to hold vinyl but you can only reposition the top shelf and any way you do it, only the top shelf can fit 12"s, the bottom holds 10"s and the middle should be able to do everything under 10". I only got to the middle of "S" on my alphabetized 12"s. I probably have around 200 12"s in my collection, so I guess you can go from there.
