anyone use ikea for lp racks?

I use this one for about 3 years..it's totally fine..but takes a while to put them together.

I had been looking into using West Elm 3x2 Rolling Storage units to store LPs but they are $399 each. The 2x2 Expedit at $59 each looks to be a much more affordable alternative. Can anyone who owns one comment on whether the frame would support adding casters?

Look again on the IKEA web site - I'm pretty sure that they offer casters as an option. You might have to search under Expedit to see all of the options and parts.

I use Expidit and Bonde, both from IKEA. The Bonde is nice as a 1 shelf wide by 4 shelf high tower that is perfect for tight spaces. The Bonde comes with a back on it where as the Expidit does not.

I have 2 Expidit units in the room where the RCM lives, and I have 2 Bonde units on their sides and stacked one on top of the other in the listening room for those LPs that are in the current "heavy rotation".

Both Expidit and Bonde have proven to be, over the years, the best value per dollar in LP/tape storage

If I was thinking of adding casters to a large Expidit, I would think that at least 6 per unit would be needed. Unless you have a big open living space, I would think that trying to steer a fully assembled and loaded Expidit around, might be pretty tough (remember - the Expidit does not come with a back on it)

I use Ikea Effektiv because
- it's more heavily and solidly built than Expedit
- solid back included, so no tipping or leaning
- it's a modular design, so readily expandable
- it fit my space better

Start with this on the floor: Effektive plinth

Attach these on top, as high as you want to go: Effektiv Add-on Unit, Low

Works for me...
