Re: [ARSCLIST] LP RECORD STORAGE
This is the exact reason I suggested the other Ikea shelves (called
EXPEDIT), which have vertical supports every 13 or so inches and are
correctly engineered to hold much more than the weight of your vinyl,
even if completely filled. Ikea states says 29lbs per shelf, but I can
tell you from personal experience that after filling it completely with
vinyl, I could climb up the thing if I had need to.
As someone mentioned they are a little deeper than need be 15 3/8", but
you'd be hard pressed to find anything cheaper (per item) cost, The
assembly is much easier, and is probably much better looking, than
anything you will build yourself, unless you have some woodworking
experience.
I have also (carefully) disassembeled these units twice to move, and put
them back together with zero problems.
For those interested, here's the link again:

I have some of these wooden shelves from IKEA - I have magazines on
them, for which they work fine, and 45s, for which they work ok, but I
have to stack them horizontally to use them in that way. I would not use
them for lps, as I do not think they are strong enough, and I would not
think they would work very well if you have very many 78s for the same
reason. What I would recommend (in fact, I am doing this myself this
week, indeed taking a few minutes break from it at the moment) is to get
some 4'x8' sheets of particle board (maybe $12-$15 per sheet probably)
and have the place where you buy them cut them into shelves the width
you would like (mine are 14 1/2 inches, for lps) and then cut pieces the
same width into supports for the ends and middle of each shelf (again,
in my case this was 14 1/2 "), 3 per shelf. Then, with another sheet of
4x8 particle board, cut one 4 ' shelf side off the end, then cut the
remainder length wise for your end pieces. Assemble with screws or
nails - I estimate my cost, with paint to be about $40 per unit, a unit
which is both sturdier & cheaper. If you use screws, you would need a
drill, if nails, only a hammer. Believe me, I am no carpenter, but these
are not hard to make.

singles.How are these for 10" 78s ? Would I be able to buy an additional
shelf,or two,from IKEA,to add to the frames,to store 45s ?

I just ordered an Ivar unit. It's 2 shelves, about 32" wide and 19"
deep.
It's solid wood and fine for LPs but probably not for 78s since the
aren't any dividers. I think you can get a 3 shelf unit too, and Ikea
does deliver via UPS. However I don't think this unit is in the on-line
catalog, only the print one for 2007.

I am using Ikea's Ivar Shelving at home which is pretty cheap and I
think could hold 78s if you get the 17 inch wide boards. Of course this
works best if you have an Ikea store close by.
