jtcohenour Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 I'm looking for your suggestions on a storage solution for my 7" records. Right now I have then sitting on my bookshelf, which makes them hard to thumb through. I'd like some type of item that I can place all the 45's in then place them on my bookshelf. Colorado record crates makes a nice looking crate that I think would work well, but they are pretty expensive http://coloradorecordcrates.com/product/45-early-american-crate/#tab-description Thanks, Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffbloom Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Walmart photo storage bins are what I use. $1 each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiatorhums Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 The biggest size of these fit 7"s well, can't put the lid on though : http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/40224319/ Some show boxes work too, although they don't look as nice.

jewfro Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 I have some in a shoebox now and some on my bookcase. I haven't pulled the trigger on a storage box just yet. Not looking to go crazy expensive. Was looking at this not too long ago. https://www.bagsunlimited.com/c-280-storage-boxes.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sugarballs Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Photo boxes from Wal Mart or Target are what I use. Those storage crates posted are nice but I don't really know if at $30 each it's worth it. I have roughly 500 7" in 5 boxes and I have extra room in a couple of them.

This is what I have as well. They work nicely, and they're super cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtcohenour Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 I really like the Ikea boxes, and the price is right. I think I'll order a few. Thanks for all the info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alogical Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 I got a black, wire bin from the dollar section at Target and it works perfectly. Looking back, I should have gotten a few cause I'm pretty much out of room already! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awesomeo4000 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 These are fantastic. Where did you get them? From a shop called Howard's Storage World (Australia). I have a second spare empty one for any future 7"s I buy, that one is pretty much full. jtcohenour 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
