.....it's a **** crate

lol word da fk up!

a little dust is not goin to kill your records, and u can always clean them too, the records and the crates..

the science of the record crate.

Supreme Crate is nice. It can be stacked high, and it saves space. Many record dealers use it.

I use Ikea KILBY bookcases, it is so cheap, 25 bucks each:

It MUST be secured on wall for your safety! Yes, records will stick out a bit, but it does hold a lot of records.
It is not easy to browse records on KILBY, (a bit too long in width) but if you have a lot of records, this is the cheapest option I can think of.
I have two KILBY book shelves. Both are attached to the wall:

^^^^ The IKEA Expedit is much better IMO. It's incredibly sturdy.

Yes I agree, but Kilby is much cheaper than Expedit.
One gripe about Expedit is that there is no board on the back.

Pluuuuuuuuuus one, the expedit is the bees knees.

I never knew the forum family were such enthusiastic IKEA shoppers!

Good point!

I'm tellin' ya! Ikea has (or used to) have some gear sluts working for their design team

You can go on Target's website and they have these wood(fake) cubes for 20 clams a piece. They can lock into one another...fairly nice, I use 6 of them. Its an alternative to that classic ikea expedit.

I use ikea as well

I need more but haven't got around to getting any, so at the moment the worst records I never found anything to sample on are stacked up as an extension to the desk and as a tv stand.

About 2 months ago, I posted about Kilby, a super cheap book shelf ($25 ! ) from Ikea (See my post above.) Well, let me show what happened today:



Ikea Kilby is NOT good for keeping your precious vinyl collection.

I wanted to know how the shelf board is constructed. I peeled the side of the damaged board:



Now I know that this is like a time bomb... I might have record avalanches soon...

Who's Gonna Take The Weight...
I've moved from Cali to England to Las Vegas and my Expedit shelves are still holding weight.
