@spiritofradio  - What does that hold? About 2000-2500 LPs? Are you going to fill it up? Wonder what the total weight would be?

I use the Ikea Kallax too, but only a 4Wx2H version. Works nicely for me.

Hey Tom.  I have several other IKEA Kallax shelves full of records and some of the predecessor model (forget the silly name).  They’re pedestrian but are the perfect size for records.   I think they average about 75 records per section.  So, this shelf might hold about 1,800.  That many records is a lot of weight so I added the wood braces/backstops.  I do this on the 3-wide shelves too.   Might need to leave some squares open for lighter stuff on the 5 wide.  Is that what you were suggesting?
