pushbacktosquare Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Hey dudes, I was wondering if you guys could help me out. My record collection is expanding quite rapidly. I now have a little bit over 125 records and was wondering if you all could enlighten me as to how I should be storing my records. Any recommendation as to where I can buy some crates / boxes / furniture to store my collection? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot guys.

catalinacaper Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Most on here will tell you to look here: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/20135300 Others have various preferences, some old school people still like crates, some have found good shelves at places like Walmart or other big box stores. Personally, I custom build all of my shelving, it's cheaper than retail and it's a fun project for me, being a nerd and all. My best advice is to look around at different options and see what works for you and your space best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dethrock Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 For overflow records, the best thing I have found is the crate for an alcohol called Graham's Port. They are just over 12" wide so an LP fits PERFECTLY and you can fit about 50-60 LP's per crate. The liquor stores here never have them but my buddy has 3 or 4 of them and they're awesome. I know it's not much of a suggestion because they're hard to find, but if you can find a crate they're worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcpherson123 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I just grabbed an expedit on Friday and it totally makes my record collection that much more awesome. I will post pics in the Post Your Record Storage thread soon so I can feel as cool as I imagined all those other people felt who already had neat storage areas.
