davepriz Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 We all know a properly made expedit is an amazing solution to record storage but has anyone had any experience with the ikea ivar? My collection is nearing 1500 LPs and I'm just moving into a new location. Trying to figure out my options. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattalica17 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 looks like the shelves we used for stock at my old work. they did bend if you had heavy stuff on them but i don't remember any snaping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgdesign Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I wouldn't. They aren't as good if that is what you are asking. Would work but the length of shelves would get annoying and cause more shelfware Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattalica17 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 i have over a 1000 records and i use the expedit. just buy 2 5x5s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almightyseancore Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 i think ivar is great if you have a wall to wall collection. i think ikea is a better way to go for a collection of 1000 or less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattalica17 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 but if the shelves bend in the middle then won't the records in the middle get more crushed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davepriz Posted January 21, 2013 Author Share Posted January 21, 2013 Will probably go the route of two 5x5's but wanted to get some more info and thoughts on the ivar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hipsterasfolk Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 These will bend for sure, the structure does not support heavy items stretched along that width due to the lack of support compartments like the expedit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanRees Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 They are like 12.5x12.5 Correction they are 13x13, these fit perfectly in each square http://m.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/art/30219281/ I'm assuming that's what you meant by box dimensions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burntoutat22 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 IKEA shipping is really ridiculous. If there isn't one around you, you should see if anyone would be willing to help you out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 "Large" and "heavy" package sent via truck = expensive shipping. Pretty dumb that the 2x4 costs that much to ship... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satan Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 They are like 12.5x12.5 Correction they are 13x13, these fit perfectly in each square http://m.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/art/30219281/ I'm assuming that's what you meant by box dimensions YES. thats exactly what i meant and thank you for clarifying.

BBech Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 That's some bs. I ordered a desk from staple or some place like that and shipping was like 20ish dollars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maneatingcow Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I end up buying the Vario shelves from the Containerstore.com. There individual cubes but I like the ability to stack differently. The past couple years I've been buying a handful when they have their yearly sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 im an hour and a half from one. my friends checked in at it the other day, and i kind of threw out a hail mary asking if they could pick one up for me.. no dice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBech Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 If anyone ever heads through Nashville or Clarksville TN and has access to one I'd be more than willing to accommodate you if you get me this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
