Tamubro Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Ok guys, I need y'all's opinion/help. I have been storing my vinyl on the ground (in the correct position) for a while now. I just got married so I have about $400 in gift cards at Crate & Barrel. Only problem is, the only place to put this type of furniture (open book case without doors on the front) is right next to the door that leads into the kitchen. The stove is probably 5 feet from where the shelf would be. My wife keeps pushing me to get this type of shelf, but I am terrified because of what I have read on here about what could happen if moisture/steam was to get onto the vinyl or perhaps even the heat from the stove? I keep looking for something with doors on it to keep out some of the elements. Here's the big question....am I just being paranoid? I really do like a lot of the shelves I have found without doors on them and after checking out this thread I've seen a lot of people have their vinyl stored in a piece of furniture like this. To be honest, we barely ever use the stove. Thoughts? Post a pic of the area in question... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilikeguitars Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Do you have 3 copies of 10 stories? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blanchardoswald Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Do you have 3 copies of 10 stories? Yeah, I'm going for the complete mwY collection. Sadly you couldn't buy them out of the boxsets, so that hurt a little bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aych Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I finally finished getting everything for my new set-up, and I've bought a lot more records since I last posted my storage shelf, so: I like it. I'm gonna need a bit more storage space soon, but I like it. I'm pretty sure IKEA has a 2x1 Expedit now, so I might just get that to fill in that extra space to the right. That'd give the turntable and speakers some breathing room, and I'd have more space for my records and books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbbrew22 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Can anyone confirm the 2x1 expedit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davepriz Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Ikea does have a 2x1. They also have a 1x1 now ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zacooper Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Definitely have a 2x1. I've had one in my room the last couple of months. I'll post up pics of my collection/room soon. It's an Ikea wonderland of expedits and everything else. Quickly running out of room though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvphotoandvideo Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I love the expedit collection. I have the set that includes a TV area and kept all the shelves open for vinyl/books/paperwork. That end table looks snazzy by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minor incident Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 IKEA definitely has 2x1 Expedits? In America? Because it's not on their website and they never answer the phones. If they definitely do, I'm heading out ASAP to pick up a couple of them. Anyone know the price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aych Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 If I remember correctly, they're $29.99. Makes sense, because the 1x1 is $19.99 and the 2x2 is $39.99. Also, about the end table: It's a Lack end table, also from IKEA, and it's only $9.99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

synapsistapped Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 What kind of sleeves are you using for your box sets? For instance, I have a few the size of the Bob Dylan and Wilco I need to sleeve up. clh2285 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobfrombob Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I bought some 14 x 14 inch sleeves designed for box sets. But the Dylan for sure (and maybe the Wilco?) is too big even for that size. So I cut the right edge off one bag, the lefte edge off another bag, and tape them together to make one even bigger bag. If you use packing tape, it's transparent.

minor incident Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Oh man, thanks. I'm definitely going to pick one of those up. I actually need a vertical one 1x2 to complement the 4x2 where most of my records live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
