How do you store your vinyl collection?

I have a wooden thing about 50" long and 4 levels high that a good friend built for me in the 90's. I also have various crappy shelves that I built myself. I've also converted bookshelves that I bought at KMart so that records would fit in them. The shelves are a little shorter than the size of an lp. I had to fortify them as well since they weren't really intended for the weight of vinyl.

It's disappointing that you can't walk into your local KMart and buy a record shelf. You'd think that bookshelves would work, but they really don't.

I've got about 4800 lps (and growing) and I need more storage space. What I have is CRAMMED, way too tight.

I had a friend (who is a professional carpenter) build me a shelf that holds about 1200 12". That's crammed and there's 6 LP boxes scattered around that are full. I've got 6 7" boxes stacked on top of each other next to my closet door. When I get a per

Me, I just bought very nice metal shelves (full back and sides) from office depot (they delivered to boot) and fully put together, you just put the shelves in as you want them. They have 5 full shelves, each 12 inches deep, and each shelf can hold up to 3

Actually, I don't I just recently bought them, I have had them about 3 1/2 years now. Just that I went to metal shelves that are even better than I could have imagined.

Ikea's "Expedit" shelves are great for records. I have a 72"x72" model that currently holds ~1700 LPs and 12" singles with room left over for at least another 500-600, and unlike some of the record shelving solutions I've cobbled together in the past, it
