What do you use for storing your vinyl? I hate crates right now but I want something that takes up less space. I at one time had a book shelf but I want something stronger because it fell apart after about 6 months. Any suggestions of what I can use and where to get it? Pics would also be appriciated if you have them

I rock a couple of expedits stacked on top of eachother. Whenever I run outta space, I just get another one.

IKEA is the shit for record storage/tables.

NO the gorilla racks i bought at costco you can pick those up for like 60$

i was refurring to the crates , the records go in at a angle if you stack them up and down like in that linke above you can fit them in veritcal,



what plastic baskets are you talkin about?

i use milk crates ...the one everyones after these days. they dont make those anymore there much smaller
