itsWetWilly Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 The Better Homes and Gardens Cube Organizer from Walmart is great. I love mine! Would I rather have an IKEA Kallax or Expedit? Of course! But I live in an oilfield hell town, therefore can't afford one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andynz Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Nice and basic setup. Just moved house, so I figured it was a good opportunity to take photos while the new area was uncluttered. Also added a photo with the a vinyl print I use as a placeholder when I don't have a record out. anthemforadoomed, passionbrand, mpitts and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeKaye Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Nice. Loads of these setups make me wish I had fewer records. But downsizing means basically giving away my children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allenh Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Nice. Loads of these setups make me wish I had fewer records. But downsizing means basically giving away my children.

andynz Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Nice. Loads of these setups make me wish I had fewer records. But downsizing means basically giving away my children. Thanks. I'm slowly building up... I am trying to stick to some principles like only buying albums that are meaningful to me, or that I really love (original pressings if possible, unless they sound bad and there is a really nice sounding repress). But the odd impulse buy creeps in. I sort of have it under control, hah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Banned User] Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Just bought a new condo. Once I my couches in I'll be measuring out what I can fit in. Currently have two crates full of records so I'm thinking a 4x2 Kallax will do the trick. Just need to save up now that I have a mortgage... piky0032 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mouthofinfinity Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 I had one built for me based off the lpbin, but I've since outgrown it an switched to a kallax. It's currently sitting unused in my boiler room until I either sell it or put to use when I move into a bigger place.Sorry for being that guy, but I am selling the shelf I was talking about in this post. If you're in the Hudson Valley region of New York, you can find more info here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deoxitizer Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 I wonder if this one fits records? http://www.walmart.com/ip/40822756?reviews_limit=9&action=product_interest&action_type=title&item_id=40822756&placement_id=irs-106-t1&strategy=PWVUB&visitor_id&category=&client_guid=9c853f63-3002-4066-a6e7-d7893303f164&customer_id_enc&config_id=106&parent_item_id=29741111&parent_anchor_item_id=29741111&guid=1453f5bb-55bb-495f-ba24-b62b6971156e&bucket_id=irsbucketdefault&beacon_version=1.0.1&findingMethod=p13n?reviews_limit=9about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's made by the same people who made the 4x2 that was recommended to me, doubt the cubes will be different sizes. It's very sturdy! Love mine!

GreatGreenOne77 Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 I was looking at that one myself a few days ago when recommending the other ones to you lol...

slinch Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Cubbies: 49.02 x 18.23 x 11.5 Now read those dimensions again and try to imagine them making sense. It's a cube*. You can clearly see it's a cube. Those dimensions do not make a cube. Here are the dimensions for the fabric storage bins placed in those cubes: 12.8"W x 12.8"D x 15"H Your records will fit fine. *technically only two sides are identical on those, but you get the point niblips 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_yetimonster Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 I registered here because of this thread, and I've just scrolled through the whole thing looking for inspiration. Some of you guys have some great storage ideas! I may steal some. Here's where I started: Those shelves are cheap things I bought at Target. I much preferred this storage setup in terms of room aesthetics. Unfortunately, they weren't up to holding all of those records, plus a heavy integrated amp and a 25 lb. turntable (I don't own either of those anymore) on top. The left one eventually got bumped and pretty much crumbled. So, I plucked out all of my rougher records and dupes to slim down the library, and went to this for storage: Solid plywood bookcase with oak veneer I found on craigslist. It had removable shelves and wouldn't have been strong enough that way, so I shot and sunk 3" brass screws into the end of every shelf. Now it's solid as a rock and holds the weight without a hint of strain. I don't like the way this looks though. brandy, passionbrand and anthemforadoomed 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
