czurek13 Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 so I have a road case I had been putting my records in, but i never planned on buying so many records so fast. needless to say i need more storage, I was wondering if anyone had suggestions to good places to buy some sort of shelving unit or even another road case? I only know of finding them on ebay or like guitar centers website and I am trying to save as much money as I can here. please let me know if you have any ideas. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblahmaster Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 You could possibly build a shelving unit for them. Also maybe try the box things that milk comes in those work fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexH. Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 A lot of people has Expedits from Ikea, myself included. They're the perfect size for LP storage. http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/categories/series/09064/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caffiend Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 There are these plastic bins you can buy from Target for around $10 a piece. They're the perfect size for records, and they are pretty customizable as far as how you want the layout to be. you can stack them up on top of each other, or set them side by side like a bookshelf. I have a couple of them sitting open side up so I can flip through the records as if I were at a record store, although you could set them up like an IKEA or something like that.

Just Another Tom Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 If you are looking for something as cheap as possible, steal milk crates or just get some cinder blocks and some timber they are pretty cheap but also i bet you could nab some from a skip. I'm not sure where i read it, must be on the board somewhere but you can get boxes from the post office for free that fit them perfectly. At least that's what i read, i'm the wrong side of the pond to find out for myself! Give the board a trawl, i know this thread exists far more than once!

Tried, tested and true way to move em, but I hate storing them in them because sometimes pulling em out can injure the spine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like the way that looks and the doors would help to keep dust out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuzzRecords Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 The shelves are the perfect depth for LPs and are adjustable (except for the the middle ones), so you can customize it to your needs. Everything is made of solid wood so its really sturdy. I bought it about a year ago and have had my entire collection (550+) and haven't had any problems at all. I'll be sure to post some photos soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

czurek13 Posted November 16, 2009 Author Share Posted November 16, 2009 i do like that shelving unit for the fact it would help keep dust out better than the open one, more money than i planned, but could be a better investment overall. im not trying to go as cheap as milk crates just for the simple fact that at some point i want to look like I somewhat care what my place looks like to an extent. thanks for the replies.

I'm hoping to find something like this for my stereo and records for when I move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
