TheCowboyPoet Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Agreed. But it took so long to even get Time Fades Away, Tonight's The Night, On The Beach and Zuma repressed, I don't see how we're going to get anything from the 90s till 2030 at least...

john Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Google "Ikea Kallax" Probably not any sturdier than what he already has Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinyl addict Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I've never seen any Kallax bow. If you glue it they are quite sturdy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjkenney Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 They hold 29.lbs per shelf so as long as that's considered they should be fine. It is funny to me though that a $70 shelf is all people want to spend to store a several thousand dollar record collection. *shrug* Hairy Potter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is funny to me though that a $70 shelf is all people want to spend to store a several thousand dollar record collection. *shrug* I have never seen a Kallax in person, but the Expedit shelves always seemed flimsy to me--particularly the larger units. though, I am interested in the newer all pine shelf they have. I do have a similar style 2x4 shelf that I got from Costco and a smaller 2x2 that are glued together and rock solid. Bottom line, you COULD spend more but if you like the look of it and it gets the job done, why spend more? niblips 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allenh Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 The only issue you get with Kallax/Expedit is when people put the bigger ones together the wrong way (yes there is a right and a wrong way). I think further back in this thread there are some pictures of collapsed Expedits that make you wince. Me I have a lot of big Expedits that are holding an enormous amount of records and I've never had a loading issue with them. On two walls I have them almost floor to ceiling with 1x5's on thier sides on top of a 5x5's in each place and 10" alloy spool reel to reel tapes stored on top of those.

birdwell Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 The new pine shelves, Nornas, as pretty damn sturdy. Also to whomever doesn't understand why people wouldn't want to spend more than $70 on shelving for a a few grand worth of LPs....most people probably didn't drop a few grand on LPs at one time. I, for one, have a couple of low-paying jobs so a one time purchase of $100+ is next to impossible. I don't have a savings account (don't have enough money leftover from paychecks to open one or keep money in it), nor do I have credit cards or credit.....I don't have the tools, time, or space to build from scratch either So last year's Tax Return went towards some Nornas and the first real bed (not just a metal bed frame) I've had since I was about 7 GreatGreenOne77, vinyl addict, danthemjfan23 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To each his own, I get it. It's a matter of preference but I'm very much anti Ikea so I'm a little bias I suppose. If its not particle board that's already leaps better than most of their stuff.

Cpen5311 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Thanks for that, is there a tutorial on how to do it like you have it?They come with little strips of double sided tape and little metal clips. I just screwed in a clip on the top left and right back corners and then on the back left and right of the wooden bar on the bottom. Clip the LED light bars into each one and you're done!Step 1: Step 2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thenameisluigi Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Is that an AC unit on the wall? Just keep an eye out for condensation dripping down. My brother had a similar style AC unit in his apartment and it would always drip in the summer when it got used a lot. Otherwise the set up looks pretty sweet dude. nardes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
