record storage?


Since I bought a Rega P2 my record collection has been growing. I need a decent way to store my records. I'm having a hard time finding anything on the net. I've looked at the Boltz racks and they look decent, but I'm cheap and if I'm going to part with a few hundred dollars I'd rather spend it on a new cartridge or even more records. Any ideas? thanks-matt

Take a look at the following link:

http://www.ikea-usa.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10101&storeId=12&langId=-1&productId=11499

I have ca. 1200+ records on this cabinet without cramming and is absolutely rock solid. There is no warping of the shelves or the cabinet. I also think the price is very reasonable. Putting it together was a 30 minute operation that I did by myself.

Best regards.
Sorry Ashra, my post duplicates your recommendation of the Expedit. I second your enthusiasm for this product.
The correct link is:

http://www.ikea-usa.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10101&storeId=12&langId=-1&productId=11499 (cut and paste the whole number)

Ashra is correct in 2000+ capacity for the large model.

Best regards.
Ashra and Vvrinc, the IKEA Expedit shelving looks like a great solution for a large collection. Do you do anything with the backside of the Expedit to block the records from pushing out the rear? I'm thinking of how one would easily even out the spines of the LPs for viewing. (Assuming the shelving has some space to the wall due to floor molding.)

Rushton, you are just fabulous with those pictures, thank you.

Mine are against the wall and, even though slightly offset by the bottom molding, the LPs maintain a very uniform spine-line. Of course, I am also a BiiiiiiiT anal about those things so...it comes easy to me. (I know, I know, there is medication but It gives me a rash.)

I did not put anything on the back of the cabinet since, after the cabinet is full of records, you don’t see the wall through the cabinet. What I like the most is the sturdiness of the thing and no warping to the shelves.

Best regards.
