Ikea Eket shelves with a large vinyl collection?


Hi All, 

Has anyone had success storing a large vinyl collection (2000+) in the Ikea Eket shelves? I'm worried about the weight restrictions per shelf. My current shelves hold about 40 lbs. per shelf, but the Eket is rated only 15 lbs per shelf. Any experience with this?

Ikea is the most popular shelves for record collectors worldwide. Everybody use them, they are cheap. Instead of one huge shelf you could use many smaller sections for safety reason. I am using 4 section models, two of them here on the right (earlier production with thicker walls). On the left side i have big one for 45s (7 inchers) from the old medical clinic, it was a present from my friend, very nice :)

My advice: buy 4 of them (with 4 sections in each one) and put them together as you wish. It will be fine and more rigid for 2000 LPs. Definitely better than one big shelf of the same size for same amount of records.  

If you want to build a tower up to the ceiling then it’s another story, but on the floor they are very nice and stable at least for 4 sections up.
Hey I bought IKEA used on letgo...there out there cheap you just need a pu truck.
I use a Kallax double which I lay sideways then I lay a single on top of that using nothing but some 2" diameter thin rubber washers (more in the middle), the weight of the records is more than enough to keep everything in place, this gives 12 squares for vinyl. I have the whole thing up against the wall about an inch out because of baseboard. I love this setup for vinyl.
